| - What a nice little lounge bar! After an evening watching Improv at Comedy Bar, my companion and I had a hankering for a follow-up drink. Casting our eyes across the street, our decision was made by convenience. Little did we know that it would be so nice inside! We were sat in a comfortable two-person booth where we were able to take in the surroundings. The main thing I remember is part of a pitchfork that was hung on the wall - so needless to say, it was a bit of a quirky place. Had a bit of a "down home" feel, especially for a bar in Toronto. It wasn't overly loud, but definitely not too quiet. We were able to have a good conversation for a couple hours without yelling. Oh, and they had some really good music playing! Beatles, Bruce Springsteen...nice and laid back. There was a slightly separated area that I noticed on a trip to the powder room, where a group of friends were comfortably seated...in front of a fireplace! Now it may have been the alcohol, but I thought it looked real...or at least it was a really nice fake one. The service was great - the server seemed to be the only one there, but she brought us our drinks amazingly quickly. They had a good selection of beers on tap, and we went with Amsterdam blonde.
I can't speak to the food except that they apparently have it, nor to the prices since I didn't see them...but all in all, if I were in the area, I would definitely head over there for a chill evening with friends.
