| - The Philthy's on King has done has had as many name changes as growing pains. Formerly the Peel Pub, my first introduction to this place years ago was a guy being dragged out vomiting. Since then, it's gone under a renovation and a name change to Philthy McNasty's. It appears to have found its way since the days of closure due to liquor license violations and has become a downtown place for a quick cheap meal, and a place to watch, well, whatever game you want.
It's a sports bar with many TV screens and a decent staff. The food is what you'd expect from a slightly franchised restaurant, the beer list is a decent size, though for whatever reason always tastes like something's happened to it in the pouring.
One drawback is that even with all the television sets, because it's downstairs and basically a concrete bunker, you tend to get a loud amount of echo and reverb from loud conversations, music, and the soft gurgle of the Leafs choking. Decent enough place, but I wouldn't, like others I see who are not me, line up for it.
