| - To be fully honest, I came here because of their name. A bar name couldn't describe my personality more accurately. I had to pay this spot a visit. The first spot on a long night of bar-hopping down Queen St. W, I remember this spot the best!
My gal pal and I only planned on coming here for one drink, but thanks to the lovely bartender, we ended up staying for a bit more. I first started out with an IPA - I asked the bartender what his favourite kind was and told him to pour that. I actually don't even know what it was, but it hit the spot! I was going to get another beer, but Mr. Bartender decided it was time for shots and poured me and my gal pal a few rounds. Thus began a long, long, adventurous night.
If I lived in Toronto, I feel like I would come here quite often. I just love the atmosphere of the place. It's dimly lit by a few twinkle lights and candles. It's fairly small, only a few tables and a large bar. One wall is lined with books and the other lined with alcohol (specifically, tequila) bottles. Hence the name. And the staff is some of the friendliest I've met. There were only 2 of them working the night I came in and they had to cater to all the other tables around us, so service might be a bit slower. But who cares? Enjoy your company, surroundings, and drink casually.
Plenty of decent beers on tap. Also a good list of cocktails from what I could see. Hats off to you, Tequila Bookworm.
