| - I'm going to post a 5 star review of this place but I will definitely say that this is with a caveat; you must come on a day when a good server is working. I know this seems like really bad advice, and I wish I could tell you what days the best servers are, but I just don't know. They seem to switch off at random a lot of the time (have had really great service on Wednesdays lol). I have been here with really bad servers and it was terrible, but employees change from time to time so I don't like rating based on servers. Anyway, here is my review IF you get a good server:
This is one of those comfortable places that one would go to when wandering on Gerrard and looking for a place with a familiar feel. Something easy and not too expensive, somewhere to watch some sports and grab a pint, etc. There aren't many like it in the immediate area and for me that's a plus.
When you walk in you immediately feel like you know what kind of place it is. You could argue it's a little too narrow for a sport's bar but I thought there was plenty of space and I think they make up for it with a long bar at the front and plenty of TVs lining the entire place. It's the familiar feel of a relaxing sports bar. And the food is the same.
They have a decent selection on the menu. Maybe not the most extensive choices, but I respect a place that has a small menu but does it well. I've gotten the burger a bunch of times and it's been satisfying every single time. Tried the wings recently and can't say I was disappointed. And the fries ... well, as far as I'm concerned they are to die for.
They almost always have a lunch special from about 1-6 pm where you can get many of their menu items for half price or close to it. And almost every food special has a drink special to go with it and that is always a welcome sight. Service was fast and friendly even during busy times and I never felt ignored.
All in all, a wonderful, clean, welcoming place that can't be matched by any close by. Will be coming here often.
