| - I'm so impressed with King Taps! They are owned by the same people who run Cactus Club, for those of you who are familiar with them on the East coast.
I was in Toronto for the holidays and was told by my friends in Vancouver that this is one of the new spots to check out - so I did just that.
Turns out my uncle lives down the street from King Taps, so my brother and I walked over to grab a mid-day drink (hey, it was during the holidays!) and some lunch. It was fairly slow when we came in, so lucky us, we were able to grab a table right away. We were seated at a high-top table in the center of the room - perfect views of the whole restaurant. Our server came over and greeted us with water, and right away I had asked if she could bring over a pitcher. She brought that over quickly.
They have a pretty good selection of different cocktails, wines, and beers. I ended up ordering a caesar, because, why not? And I have to say, that it was one of the most satisfying (and yummiest) caesars I've ever drank. I always respect people who can make a damn good caesar that just hits the spot. So shout out to the bartender on duty that day for creating a drink that washed my hangover right away.
My brother and I weren't too hungry so we decided to split the shrimp and pesto flatbread and an order of their potato skins. They both came out really quickly, but I guess given how slow it was when we were there, this made sense. I was super impressed with the food. The flavour and quality were all there. The portions were large for what we were paying, which I always appreciate at restaurants.
Sidenote // Apparently this is a fun spot to come to have drinks at night, and so I came here to grab a cocktail at the bar one of the nights I was downtown. Service, food, and drinks were equally as awesome as my lunch experience. The music was loud, the people were friendly, and it was a great spot to start off my Toronto bar/drink adventure.
Overall, both times I came in were wonderful! Come in, have a drink, grab some food, and enjoy the ambiance - you'll have a great time!
