Burdock is a brand new bar/resto/microbrewery and music venue. Heard about it through a friend who is booking bands there and went by tonight. Really sweet spot, great atmosphere and delicious eats/drinks.
Food wise there are a few mains - the steak frites beside our table looked amazing - but we were there for snacks/drinks so sunk into "Dufferin Doubles" (chickpea spicy greasy dough liciousness) and sampled the grilled cauliflower and Mennonite curried micro kernal popcorn (yes, tiny spicy yummy popcorn! Heirloom at that!).
They have a select beer/wine menu. Friends were happy w the IPA and I with the cider. They just had brewing tanks installed and their passionate, resident brew master will begin concocting their own signature craft beer in the coming months.
The music venue room (separate from the main dining area) is acoustically designed for optimal sound and is a gorgeous space with warm lighting and wood panelled nooks for drinks. Looking forward to catching some show here in the near future. From what I heard, a welcome addition to the neighborhood!
