| - Top notch pub! I came here with a large group of people and the vibe was jovial, the service was wonderful and my hot toddy was hot. It was BLOODY COLD outside and the warmth of the crowd, the staff and the booze seeped into my core and cured all that ailed me. This was my first time coming to Ye Olde Orchard, but it won't be my last! Somehow, it kinda felt like home but I'm an Irish-Canadian Maritimer after all. It's damn cozy, on a heart and soul level.
I ordered poutine, which was standard - not the best in the city but certainly not the worst, either. My partner had nachos that were pretty good. It is pub fare, after all - really, you're not there for the food, but for the charming stone walls, boisterous patrons, reasonable prices, easy location and casual camaraderie. I'm thinking this would be hangover breakfast heaven.
The place was full to the rafters on a Wednesday evening, and it sounded like there might have been some live music happening later in the evening - somebody was having fun testing a microphone, anyway. I couldn't stay for the show, but I'd be curious to go back to check it out sometime.
Four YARS for me mateys at Ye Old Orchard. It's as pubby as a pub gets.
