| - When it comes to reviewing pubs, bars and joints that sell copious amounts of liquor and beer, it is hard to do based on what people's opinions are. Personally, this place was fun, but not my kind of place as a whole.
Visiting Toronto from Vancouver, I have been used to chill, smaller, and not as loud places to hang out to have a beer. This place, was not quite the same, but like I mentioned, people LOVE this type of atmosphere. If you want to get lost, have to text buddies to figure out where they are, listen to 3 different types of musicians, escape a friend, or play drunken hide and seek, this place is gold. If you want loud, sing a long times, and people up in your face, then go to the Maddy.
I like that they ID everyone, no matter what. I don't like however, that there are so many people that you have to wait in line. I don't have a problem with waiting in line, but I don't understand why people enjoy the up in your face, loud sweaty atmosphere of this place.
The beer was "normal price" for a pub. It was not cheap by any means. $5.50 for a bottle of Canadian seemed expensive, and 8 bucks for a pint of Kieth's IPA was also expensive.
Nonetheless, it is Toronto. People love this place. Personally though, I wouldn't go back. I went with friends, and I probably won't go again.
Check it out if this atmosphere seems suited for you!
