| - What an odd place. Visiting Toronto for work I met up with a great old friend here for some food and beers, lots of beers. Came because it was close to the hotel, I wanted to watch a NCAA college football game, and I'm in Toronto, Canada and the place is named after Wayne Gretzky. I also learned it isn't spelled "Gretzsky". Tons of the "Great One" memorabilia on display. Staff was hit or miss, I actually liked the bald guy behind the bar best, he was on the spot on our orders and refreshing my 7 beers, always right when I needed another Molson Canadian. The rest of the staff seems to be there mainly for aesthetic purposes, lots of makeup, lot's of um, enhancements, I guess is the best word for it.
I don't know if I would return, there was a Maple Leafs game my night so the place was pretty crowded with Toronto and Boston fans, and they were doing some sort of live radio show from the bar itself. I haven't followed hockey in years so I was kind of lost by this. After the game started the place actually cleared out as fans left for the game. They were nice enough to put my game on one of the TVs behind the bar amidst all of the hockey games. A bit on the expensive side, but much nicer inside than it looks from the street. It was a block from my hotel so that was nice as well.
