A little better than your standard Firkin if only for the service! Super friendly wait staff, fast and helpful and courteous and friendly! (wait, I said friendly twice).
Granted it's still a chain but when all I'm looking for is a beer with some friends, the rest doesn't matter much. Service is ten times better than O'Grady's across the street and the prices are similar, as far as I've noticed.
It's become a standard spot for a beer before hitting another bar in the Gayberhood. I'll keep going back.
TIP: They're typically quite happy to accommodate larger groups when they can which makes it different from a lot of other pubs in the village.
ETA: If you don't like gays or "bums", don't go to the village and definitely don't sit on the patio! Someone messaged me so they could tell me this is the worst Firkin they've ever been to because of the gays and the bums. Seriously, people? Oh, and let's get real, if you don't like gays, I'd rather you didn't come to Toronto at all. Please and thanks.
