One of the few places walking distance from the Hyatt Regency that serves food late on a Monday night, Gabby's is exactly what you would hope for from a divey bar. The food is cheap and good, the beer is cheap and mediocre and the bartender is long-suffering.
This seems to be a place where locals go to hang out... especially those in the construction trade. Then again, with the Toronto boom.. every bar is a construction hangout.
Highlights include a kitchen open late, great chicken wings (Mondays and Wednesdays, the wings are less than your glass of beer), and Margot the bartender is awesome.
