| - I live right around the corner from W Burger Bar, and I really wish it was better. I've been here a few times, and make no mistake, it's a good burger place, but it's definitely not a great one. Each time I've gone I've had the beef burger with a mix of different condiments (the wide selection of condiments is great - especially beets, try them if you've never had them) and each time I'm struck by how the meat is somewhat dry and bland, although the toppings are great. The prices are very good, especially when it comes to beer, and the service and ambiance are above par. I'm not a huge fan of onion rings, but other people I've gone with have raved about these ones. Don't bother ordering the poutine over the fries - the gravy isn't that great, and the fries are tasty by themselves.
An odd thing here is the TVs. There is a strange amount of them - not enough to be a sports bar, but enough to be distracting. Also, they show games on them, but play loud music instead of the broadcast. This would be a great place to watch games if they had a couple more TVs and played the game instead of music.
I wish I could give this place 3.5 stars, because it IS above average (especially for the area), but if you're willing to walk an extra 15-20 minutes you'll find better burgers in many other locations.
