  • So this to me is the kind of place I would picture when the term 'dive bar' is used which I guess is Toronto's politer way of saying 'shit hole' which happens to be Birmingham's not so polite way. Wow - talk about being hard to spot, a brown board with the establishment's name scribbled on and hung up in the window is the only give away. Went here on a Sunday evening as decided to finally take a walk up the Ossington Strip and it was the music from the band that drew me in. The place is small! I reckon full capacity would be reached with 40 people, many standing side to side. As for appearance and clientèle. The bad news is that this place is totally no frills, a mix match of tables and chairs, various artwork on the wall with the far wall having a portrait painting of what I am guessing was the 'Communist's daughter' but the good news is that Sunday might just turn out to be hipster free day as the majority of customers were all 40+ and were there to enjoy the band. Though do be warned just walking up the Ossington strip will result in many encounters of the skinny jeaned kind. So the band, I am sure they are a regular act as again just above the back bar there is a chalked picture of them. The main singer was great, came around on his break to say hi to everyone but the highlight, for me, was the second guy who at different times played a slinky, spoons, a cheese grater and best of all a saw (awesome haunting sound). The food menu is at the end of the bar on a chalk board and none of the items seemed appealing enough for me to hang around and eat and only one couple was actually eating anything in the joint so I do not think people generally come here for the food. So for what reason people would repeatedly come here, I am not totally sure as I could not write a review that justified the obvious hype from other yelpers.
