| - The Avro is the _perfect_ local. Even though I'm not *that* local.
Walking in on Saturday night, The Avro smelled like vanilla sugar and Stiegl beer and joy. So, basically: some of my favourite things.
The music was pumping, people were chatting (AND SMILING! LET'S PUT IN A COLLECTIVE EFFORT TO DO MORE OF THIS, K TORONTO?!), and we sidled up to the bar. An orange-kissed beer was on tap. Vodka sodas flowed easily. We considered the food board: $3 slices of birthday cake, "meat sticks" and pickled eggs on offer. Another plus of The Avro: outside food is welcome, so show up with your tub of hummus, slice of 'za, and bag of neon Cheetos...bienvenidos, all!
This joint is small, and chock-a-block full of delightful quirk. Cheeky signs, Backstreet Boys album covers behind the bar, and a big jar of the 'forementioned pickled eggs. Come here: drink one, drink all!
Yelp note: bring some chalk...you'll want to mark your time at The Avro on the chalkboard-painted bathroom walls (see my pics for visual confirmation).
