| - En route to Hart House for Twelfth Night (which was hilarious, by the way,) we stopped in here in mutual craving for pub grub.
The draft options were good, our server was quick, and the booth was cozy.
It's also really well designed inside: pressed tin ceilings, wood panelled walls, and soft glass lightshade. And while the vast majority of bars on Bloor smell like ancient spilled beers and middle aged tears, this place is striking a nice balance between old pub decor and clean floor.
Minus two stars for the menu, which is..eh. I wanted fish and chips, and maybe I just didn't look hard enough but I could only find a fish sandwich. So...It's decent fish and chips, but you put the fillet between a hamburger bun? Now my boyfriend's ribbing me for not eating the bun, I feel weird, the bun feels weird, everyone is disappointed.
D got wings, which he said were crummy. And this from someone who is pretty a-ok with Old Man Pizza and Wings on Jameson Ave, so that's saying something.
Ultimately, if you want to coze up and have a pint, this place is a really nice option. Just get a few drinks in you and the food will probably be fine.
