This is a great little pub located right at the southeast corner of Bloor/ Islington (across from Islington station). It's fairly small inside and the décor is simply your typical west end pub - no pretences. I, personally, have never experienced any of the staff being rude or the establishment being "dirty"; again, it's a traditional pub. There's never been music on any of my visits but there are many TVs around to watch any game. Prices are excellent: burger and fries about $10 and most entrees under $15.
As far as the food is concerned, all I've ever had were the suicide wings and they are REMARKABLE! I can confidently say that they're right up there with the best. When it's not "Wing Night", you can purchase 2.5 pounds for about $19 and/ or 1.5 pounds for $13, which is a great deal because you really get a lot. They are big, meaty, well-cooked (but not overdone) and seasoned perfectly; the suicide are more like "very hot" but not to the point where you're sweating - kind of like wings you'd get in Buffalo, seriously. My only complaint is that they only give two sticks each of carrots and celery per order and the blue cheese dressing is very reminiscent of KRAFT.
I would suggest going here if you plan to meet friends along the subway line or even if you're from south Etobicoke (like me) as it's very, very convenient!
