| - I've lived in the area my entire life and ever since I could legally drink, I always hoped that somebody would open a bar in the neighbourhood. You see, this part of Toronto is devoid of nightlife. This is a purely residential area and there is nothing that is open past 11 PM. That is, until Thirsty Fox opened up. As I have lived here for the past 28 years of my life, I can safely say that this is the first bar in the area in over two decades. While I hope it can stick around for the long haul, I have my doubts.
The pub has your typical selection of beers and liquors. The food is a bit below average for a pub but nothing that would shock your senses. The mediocrity continues to the decor. The chairs appear to have been bought from a going out of business sale and the rest of the furnishings aren't much better. While I enjoy the convenience of this place, it has no atmosphere as it is rarely more than half full and even then, the crowd is far from lively. Occasionally, you will see a few people in here for a big sporting event but even then, it's no competition for a real sports bar or even a bigger pub downtown.
As you can tell from the above description, the place is alright but doesn't do much to attract the type of person who lives in this area. It has been open for a bit over a year now and while I hope it can remain a staple in this area for many years, I'm not sure it has the right profile for this neighbourhood.
