Einstein's is my go-to bar in Toronto.
You can't really have high expectations for a pub that is divey and catered towards university students. Yes, the service is slow at times and the bathrooms are dirty, but if you come with the right people you'll have a good time and listen to some good tunes.
There's not many places you could get a pitcher of beer for $10. It's not a standout beer by any means but it's GREAT for the price and comparable to other domestic beers. The food is standard and cheap pub fare. I believe the fries here are actually hand-cut fries (or at least look like it) and the wings are very satisfying.
