Classic neighbourhood pub, despite being a chain. The barkeeps are fantastic on the late shift, and the environment is generally friendly if not overly intoxicated (it is always a good sign when the staff are doing shots with the patrons).
Food and drink is in line with the Gabby's chain, which means it is overpriced for what you are getting. But the kitchen is open late, so who cares if the basket of fries is $5.
If you are looking for a watering hole at Pape and Danforth, you can't go wrong with Gabby's.
