Everyone loves this patio! Show up any time that the patio is a go and it will be crammed with people - locals and tourists alike. The interesting mix has to do with its proximity to tourist-friendly spots, corporate offices full of people ready for a drink at the end of the day, and arty Queen Street locals. It's a fabulous spot to sit back with some pints and people watch.
I think of all the visits I've made to this place I've only sat inside one time, and that was very briefly. Don't get me wrong, the inside is nice, but it's that huge patio action that draws the big numbers.
The food is pretty standard fare, the best bet is to ask your server if there's anything on special as they seem to have a lot of "deals", especially in the summer. It's not my first choice but if you're on Queen and looking for a key patio position, this will more than make you happy. The food and beer list is varied enough to make everyone happy, and while the service can slow to a near-grinding halt on peak times, it's still worth a trip.
