| - One of the best beer selections in Toronto!!!
When I am in the mood for some high quality craft beer this place is at or near the top of my list. Their beer selection is truly tough to beat. They have quite of few beers on tap, the sheer number of taps isn't all that impressive but the quality of the beers sure is. If nothing on tap tickles your fancy, you are bound to find something in their selection of bottled beers that will. Their selection of bottled beers reads like a book.
If you are not a beer nerd/snob like me, fear not! Their staff is extremely knowledgeable and will be more than happy to make a recommendation based on your beer preference. If you have a hard time deciding you can opt to have 3 small samples of any of their taps for only $6! Their beer prices are not outrageous, a pint can be had for around $6 rather easily, however be careful if you venture into the bottles as those can get quite pricey depending on the beer.
The beer isn't the only star of the show, their food is quite good also. This place has THE BEST fries in the city. Their fries are cooked in duck fat and beef tallow which makes them very crunchy and quite decadent, they are served with a house made mayonnaise which is also irresistible. Other house specialties include streamed muscle bowls (very good), and flat bread pizza made with oatmeal stout dough. The great thing about a lot of their food is that they also find ways to incorporate beer into a lot of their menu items. Overall good food at a reasonable price.
If you are interested in a beer recommendation they usually have La Maudite and St. Ambrois oatmeal stout on tap, you can't go wrong with either of those. Be careful to pay attention to the alcohol percentage on your beers, many of their beers are pretty high in alcohol and I am usually stumbling after 3-4 pints (Belgian beers are the best but they are usually at least 8%), who cares though, it's right beside king station so it can be gotten to easily via TTC.
