| - I wish this was my local neighbourhood bar. This is the kind of place you want to come for afternoon drinks, stay for dinner and continue on until the night ends. It looks funky on the inside (converted warehouse type space) but this has one of the best patios in the city so why would you want to sit inside? Surrounded by shrubs and fairy lights, it's a nice spot to settle in.
I came here for drinks with a friend at about 11pm on a Friday night and we got there too late for dinner - however they have a late night menu, which includes pizzas and a couple of anti-pasto type plates, that's served until close. We ordered the prosciutto and arugula pizza, the base was thin and crispy and the toppings were fresh. Seriously yum! I thought it was a bit strange that the pizza wasn't sliced when it came out... not sure if this was an oversight by the pizza chef or that's just the way they do it? But, no biggie. If you're a wine snob you'll be happy with the pages and pages of options, or you could go with the $1 per ounce house wine. I didn't know about this until I read the previous reviews so I might try this next time. It sounds like a pretty good deal. Like other reviewers have said, yes the tables are close to each other, but this just makes for some fun conversations with the people at the table next to you (if you so choose to!). Our server was awesome and made sure our wine glasses were topped up whenever they got low.
After sharing a bottle of wine and a pizza our bill came to $40 each including tip, so it's not exactly cheap. But, I definitely want to come back to try out the regular menu!
