| - My time working in financial services has pretty much grounded into me that I'm not a "suit". I don't have many as friends or acquaintances, and at parties, I pretty much try to stay apart from anyone wearing pinstripes, discussing the finer points of their golf game and NASDAQ or whatever the hell that is. At the Bottom Line, in and amongst a small sprinkling of the regular folk, you'll find a ton of suits discussing just that.
This place is banking (no pun intended) on the fact that they will cater to the financial services and business community that surrounds this pub. The beer prices and menu reflect the fact that many can afford or have expense accounts that will accommodate their post work needs. There's TVs showing sports, Leafs paraphernalia adorning the walls, and all in all, the only thing that makes this stand out from any other bar is that you can hear "Leafs power-play" and "hedge fund" used in the same conversation.
Oh, and in case you haven't got a pair of Leafs tickets, the Bottom Line will raffle off a pair just before the puck drops. This will allow you to go to the ACC (http://www.yelp.ca/biz/air-canada-centre-toronto), ignore the game, and discuss business further, ensuring that another pair of seats is denied from the hands of true fans.
