| - This was indexed under "Sports Bars" in yelp, and it really isn't. That doesn't mean it's not a great hangout bar, though, just sayin'. So, I came in to watch a World Series game here, and they did have it with the sound off at the central of five large TV's at the bar. The other three had a roll of washed out blurry 80's rock videos, and one had a kitschy horror movie running -- they weren't even showing the local Raptors-Warriors NBA game, and I seemed to be the only one into the WS game.
Enough of that though, sports ain't for everyone I know. What Duke's *does* have is a long rustic barroom, great selections on tap, and people seemed to be really liking the pub eats. The bartenders were really polite, and were very cool about letting this US stranger who walked in run a tab (a lot of places in Toronto won't let you do that, I've found). Lively and loud, but not overly so. I'd recommend it as a pub stop for pretty much anybody.looking for a fun hangout spot to chill and have a few drinks.
