The previous negative, semi-literate reviews of this place are absurd. Nice, personable staff, convivial atmosphere, and not even a trace of hipsterism to be found! The prices are slightly higher than your typical dirty Toronto chain pub; that's because the food is of a vastly, vastly higher caliber. The founder was a serious barman who learned the trade in Manhattan. Sadly, most Torontonians don't really understand what makes a bar good.
