It's kind of my local. Fantastic craft beer on tap, well above average pub food and hip customers. Prices are fair. This is the last true Toronto feeling bar going west. All others further west have a 905 smell in the air. One problem at Brydens is that they are chronically understaffed. Sure, the owner saves on having to pay another waitress and the one working her butt off makes good tippage but service suffers. Its also that all too familiar feel of "this is just a job" without the friendliness of bars like this in the USA.
