The Lakeview sits proudly at the corner of Dundas & Ossington, and as such when visiting you may feel like you're experiencing a Back to the Future moment when everyone looks like they are from the 80's in their hipster attire.
I will commend this place for its selection of craft breweries on tap. I had a Great Lakes Orange Peel Ale first which was quite tasty, followed by a Big Rock Traditional Ale. Both tasty and only $4 as they were the daily special.
Things took a turn for the worst with the food though. Pulled pork so dry I needed to put ketchup on my sandwich to finish it! Thats right, ketchup on a pulled pork sandwich! This is something that should never need to be done. The fries would have been good if they weren't served cold. The mixed greens were good though, no complaints there.
Everyone else seemed to enjoy what they had otherwise, but the complete mediocrity of my meal definitely will prevent me from wanting to go back even despite the cheap pints.
