Actually, I don't really drink and I've only been here once, but it was a positive experience. Was here on Labour day with some close friends and ordered some drinks. The place was mostly empty that you could easily hear the background music. Atmosphere was quaint (peaceful for downtown Toronto) and staff were friendly.
I doubt it is always like this, but it is really chill here. You can order some drinks and food. I shared a poutine, good but nothing special.
