| - Surprised that no one has reviewed this place before now, but figured I'd start things off with a bang. 5 stars, yes... but this is a really good little pub. Our neighbours recommended it to us and, upon checking reviews online, all were consistently positive which is a bit unheard of in this city. Apparently the current owner just bought the place about a year and a half ago and it's been doing really well ever since. Someone's doing something right, I guess.
We went over on Canada Day afternoon for a late lunch and a couple pints (which turned into a few) and got a great people-watching seat by the window. Just a wee place but a perfect spot to settle for the afternoon; super laid-back atmosphere, a TV in the corner for those wanting to watch sporting events up at the bar, and completely tolerable music. Service was super friendly and we were instantly impressed by the menu; I had the steak & stilton salad and he had the Reuben, both delicious and totally hit the spot. We also split an order of wings, which were fantastic - husband said they may be the best wings he's ever had, which is saying something.. came with fresh (fresh!) carrot sticks and chunky blue cheese dip.
Their dessert menu is also pretty tempting, and I would've had one as well but it seemed like an overindulgence at the time...
Anyway, go check it out if you're in the Kingsway area, definitely a neighbourhood gem. We'll be back for sure.
