| - I love the Grover. We used to go there pretty often. They have beautiful plasma/lcd TVs all around. It's a great place to watch a playoff hockey or basketball game.... although living in Toronto I suppose I'm dating myself a bit there. It is good for other things too!
.
They have a backyard patio and the food is not bad. I wouldn't want to eat there everyday, but for a pub it's not bad. They have one burger called "The Hammer" and another one called "The Godfather." I ordered it one day just because I love the name. I believe it's saute onions, mozzarella and burger. Good combination but pretty heavy food.
I've also been with someone who had the souvlaki which was also good.
However, the wait staff can be a bit ditsy. In a funny sort of way. One day we sat on the patio, and the waitress came to take our drink orders. She brought a beer for me, and a water for guest who had ordered a club soda. Then the guest changed her mind later and ordered a martini - another water came. We also asked for menus which she never brought. We eventually gave up and just went home.
But as I said, it's good for some things and not others. Certain times of year if you sit on a patio you're in no man's land because the waitresses would rather work inside. Although I believe this weird incident happened in May or something.
Except for that, service is pretty good. Lots of different draft beers on tap, but I don't think they had any Ontario Craft beers on tap, which is unfortunate.
If you live in the area, it's a great place to try. However I wouldn't go there now living in the West part of the city. It's a bitch to get to. And having to rely on a streetcar to get me anywhere far makes me want to regurgitate, so I doubt I'll be going back here soon.
