It would be 4 stars if it were not for the stupid cover BUT the crowd here was much better than anywhere else in the area. We came up here from NY, and although I am not on the market for any women, the other places near-by like the Crocodile Rock had so many guys in it we immediately left thinking it was a gay bar.
We went to Grace O'Malley's 2x, once on fri night and once on Thursday to eat. The food was ok, but as other reviewers said, overpriced. Bartenders/servers were very nice and we had a real Irish waitress.
At night on Friday, there were probably 3 girls for every guy there, which was probably the first time we saw a lot of girls out in Toronto at all. $13 cover was wack, and just cause you are playing music does not mean you get to charge a cover. However the place was pretty busy and had a good crowd so I guess it is supply and demand
