| - What can I say about District? I've been here so many times, particularly in the last two years or so, that I can't even count anymore. I've celebrated two birthdays of my own there, and four birthdays of friends there. I spent New Years Eve there, I watched Olympic Hockey there, and I've known people who've worked there. I guess what I am getting at is that I like District, and I keep coming back, special occasion or casual weeknight bite with a friend. Honestly I think I like this place so much because it's almost a habit of mine.
Basically, I love places at which you can punctuate your drinking with food. But not just greasy wings and stale nachos. I like places that have quality beer on tap, good food, and unique menu items. District fits the bill perfectly.
The menu (found not in paper, hand-held form, but on chalkboards on the walls) changes frequently, so it's tough to pin-point one item as a favorite. But I can recommend the burgers and the mac and cheese (usually on the menu). Honestly their fries aren't very good, which in turn affects the poutine, but other than that, they usually do a decent job. Though the food quality has dipped a little over the last two years, they still maintain a higher level of quality than most pub-style restaurants, so I can still get on board with most of the menu, most of the time. Though there is the occasional time I am a bit disappointed by the food. But if you ever see a duck confit, or any roasted poultry, definitely try it, they usually do a good job with that. If you're just looking for a nibble, go for the charcuterie.
As for the drinks, I'd say this is my favorite part of District. The quad long island ice teas and mojitos are great. A giant, cold drink in a mason jar. Order one of each, drink them half way down, and then mix them together. Now I know what you're thinking, but just trust me on this one. My friend Haley and I do this regularly, and it's great. Our friends refer to them as Long Island Mojitos, and/or Island Mo's. Go for it. *(If I see this turn up on the menu, I am taking full credit) ;)
They also have some decent beer on tap, and the bacon caesar is also tasty!
The other good thing about District? It's location. A hop skip and jump from the train line means an easy way to and from, especially if you're planning on having a couple of drinks. And of course, it's connected to the Rhino. So if you're looking to keep your night going, can't really beat the 8 second stumble to the bar next door.
