| - Unlovable is the only bar I get really tanked in and feel okay about it. Owner, Jamal is one of those always around types, and it's nice to sit and have a few beers in the evening on a weekday and tell inappropriate jokes with him.
There's a huge divide between regulars (i.e. week day crowd) and weekends when it's packed. I've only been a few times on the weekend, but when it gets packed, it's really tight due to it's narrow small size, and there is a definite aging hipster uniform that needs to be observed: Relic toque, beard, jeans and a plaid button down for guys, and layers over skinny jeans and wedge heels with either a slouchy army jacket or leather crop number with top bun and red lipstick for girls. During the week it's a scrappier mix of construction workers, nerds, and regulars passing by.
The music is all over the place, from rap to deep house, it's a mixed bag and you never know who's gonna be on decks, but it's usually irreverent and fun.
It's cave like, a literal hole in the wall, and it's just far enough from Ossington and Parkdale that the riff raff (i.e. university kids and suburbanites from Liberty Village) keep out. And that suits me just fine.
