This Elephant and Castle is probably the last place I would go for a drink in Toronto and yet I have been there about 1/2dozen times.
The best thing about the bar, that would actually get them a star, is the layout/ design! The balcony style area is pretty fun and cool area although it could also be a little dangerous if you are drunk (it's pretty difficult to walk back down about 20 stairs).
The last time I was at E&C @ Gerrard, I recall our group paying ~$20 for a pitcher of bud light and ~24 for Keith's! Not only are these ridiculous prices, but as we just received our pitcher (we were standing by the way) we were told to drink it quickly and leave as it was a busy night and we had been there for two hours!! This is something that hasn't even happened to me in any NY bar so there's no doubt I was more than a little surprised, especially considering just two hours ago an order of (literally) $1000 was put in by the same group!
A few months ago, there was another example of a scuffle with the manager over a bill (I wasn't personally involved but was a witness to what went on), and together with my most recent experience I am left to feel this place is aiming to cash in on the one time visitors to Times, err Dundas Square and doesn't give a hoot about anyone who might return.
Don't go here, Toronto has so much more to offer
