Two very enthusiastic thumbs up.
Nestled in the Portuguese Sports Bar district on Dundas, The Dock Ellis is a bar for hipsters that like sports, as previous reviews suggests. But they do it extremely well, and in an unpretentious way. A very solid draught & bottle selection, a continuing rum special, and very capable and friendly staff. The menu an ecclectic and shockingly well executed surpise. Wonton Nachos and the wings are always a solid choice.
The crowd is friendly, sports savvy, and always welcome to join in as a 4th for foosball, or next to toss a loonie down for the pool table. Plus they have your rich friends rumpus room downstairs in the basement! Beware of the arcade machine upstairs though, she's tempermental and eats quarters on occasion.
It's nice to have a place outside my house where I can sob uncontrollably while enduring the Leafs, and not feel out of place. Will be returning.
