  • BOTTOM LINE: It's the posh and hipper brother of the Queen & Beaver. A fancier menu, a richer selection of bevvies (cask beers, cocktails, etc.) and not one, but 2 patios! (3.5 STARS) The Oxley is the posh, hip older brother of the Q&B. Located at the intersection of Yorkville and Hazelton, you're greeted by a nondescript red house with a spacious patio out front. A cozy bar area meets you at the entrance before revealing a green hallway of widely spaced tables. Towards the back, a door leads to an even larger back patio that's sure to be packed in the summer months! Their bevvy selection is quite impressive from rotating casks selections, to their Innis & Gun on tap, to even the Sheffield-brewed Thornbridge Jaipur IPA (very delicious!). There's also an assortment of interesting cocktails and dessert wines. I started off with the SCOTCH EGG & HP followed by their HALIBUT WITH SKORDALIA & WATERCRESS-FENNEL SALAD. The scotch egg was the same deliciously fried goodness that's offered at the Q&B and is one of my go-to choices. The halibut came tightly wrapped in nori (seaweed) and had a firm texture to it. The skordalia paired well with the fish and provided a sweet flavour to it. My DCs ordered the FISH & CHIPS (just like the Q&B and the perfect choice if you're of the indecisive sort!) and the DRY AGED BEEF BURGER & CHIPS. Sadly, the burger was a disappointment for my DCs. Whilst you can choose how rare you want it and the cheese on top (stilton, cheddar, etc.), there are no additional toppings offered. Furthermore, the beef tasted dry and the buns didn't' appear properly toasted. Whilst a fair number of items from their "bar" menu were direct transplants from the Q&B, including their continued misspelling of WELSH "RABBIT" (it should be rarebit :P), their "pub" menu offers pricier selections such as their FISH PIE & PEAS and DRY AGED RIB EYE & STILTON TRENCHER. The Q&B's Sunday evening feasting dinners have returned, though oddly, it's listed on their drinks menu. My main misgiving is that while I feel that The Oxley is a much-needed addition to the Yorkville area, I couldn't help but think how much better suited it would be along the the gentrifying Dundas and Ossington area or even the theatre district. Nonetheless, if you've ever needed a reason to head north of Bloor, now you have one. :P
