A venerable institution in the High Park/Junction area. This is one of the few bars that has it's kitchen open until 2:00 a.m. in this area. It's not my main bar, but I do rate it as one of my primary late-night spots, due to it's kitchen.
The food, in general, is good -- and goes beyond traditional pub food with its customizable pizza and Mexican food options.
A great selection of local and premium beer is another plus. They don't have many local micro-brews, but do stock Alexander Keiths' full compliment of brews on tap. Prices for these beers is reasonable.
If you love playing pool, or love to sing Karaoke, this is the bar for you (I do neither). For watching sports events, this is my main bar due to their 100" projection HDTV screen.
This is even one of the few bars in Parkdale--High Park that have their washrooms on the ground floor, which is a big plus if you have friends that are mobility impaired.
There are daily food specials that include 50 cent wings on Monday and Tuesday evenings; 8oz Burgers on Wednesday evenings: and full-rack ribs on Thursday. I think their wings are very good: moist and juicy.
I recommend this place highly, provided you don't mind the pool-shark or Karaoke atmosphere.
