Wonderful (and slightly fake) dive bar. Queen East.
Dark, narrow, pinball machine, unfriendly (in a pretend way only) bartend staff and a nice selection of affordable booze.
It's away from the Prohibition, boots and bourbon mess by just enough to not be rammed. Busy enough though to blend in if needed. Strider style. At least it feels that way after a few drinks.
The place feels like where ppl go for anonymous tinder dates or trying to explore away from their partners if you get my drift. (Not condoning anything, just observing)
You should go here if you want Queen East, but a little feel of the junction, and apparently if you are 5 guys with one girl companion. Seems the norm from my five trips there.
Come to HiLo, and enjoy the atmosphere. You'll like it.
