  • My friends who grew up or went to school in Toronto have what I consider an irrational fondness for what I can only describe as the dive-iest bar in the Annex. When I get invited to a gathering there I often spend a lot of energy trying to suggest an alternative, but what can you do when people love a place and have been going there since high school? Yes, the food is cheap and on a busy night it is stuffed to the gills with cute, young people. But the place is a mess - I can't even imagine what those couches look like in daylight - the food is awful (admittedly, I will share an avocado and brie sandwich under duress), the music is deafening and the service stinks. And that's not getting into the less pleasant rumors about the place. For some reason the staff at the Green Room have been given the orders to maximize money per table, with no regard to service whatsoever, and the result is really some of the worst service experiences I have had in the city. On one memorable night, while waiting for a few more friends, my three friends and I were asked to move from a table for four to a table for two. When we asked if we could eat our nearly-finished meals, we were unceremoniously told no and then our waiter bused our food and drinks without asking first. On top of all of this it wasn't even that busy in the downstairs area where we were sitting. Some people disparage the bar by calling it a "hipster" watering hole, but the people who attend aren't exactly scenesters, more likely people who got tired of going to Future Bakery/Labyrinth around the corner. The patio is nice although it is really just an extension of a back alley behind the building in front of the bar. In the colder months you can't move an inch without knocking over people's coats, scarves or mitts, and navigating the upstairs dining room is akin to taking on a maze of peoples' limbs and tables too-close together. I guess I had the misfortune of moving to Toronto in my post-dive bar phase of life, otherwise maybe I would have a soft spot in my heart for the Green Room, too.
