| - As far as franchise pubs go, Gabby's has no pretention to be a faux-British knock-off. Gabby's are, if such a thing exists, a Canadian pub. This one tucked away in the Beach area of Toronto is an intimate, quaint (read "small") pub that franchised or not, is a great place to grab a pint, snack, and glance at whatever game is on.
The staff here appears to be indicative to that found franchise-wide. They are fast, effective, friendly, and will sort you out pretty easily. The food is standard fare from the franchise, with the wings as always standing out. The burgers are also good, the bison burger in particular standing out. My friend and fellow comic lives in this neighbourhood, so on nights where I take the long trek across town on the 504 Queen car, we'll grab a booth, write, and enjoy the wings until the Leafs play. Then I cheer for their opponents. Just because I live here, doesn't mean I have to like the teams here.
Plain. Simple. Small. Tasty.
