Another classic example of visiting more places than I can remember to review in a given week/month/year. I picked The Abbot Pub as the perfect midway meet up spot for Toronto and GTA yelpers early this year in February. It's easily accessible by TTC for those reliant on public transit, and close enough to the 401 for those driving themselves to find it with relative ease.
It's a quaint, little neighbourhood spot between Yonge/Lawrence and Yonge/York Mills, if walking, be sure to have your app open because it's easy to walk right past it, but once inside you'll find a bustling little pub that's lined with booths and tables and classic wooden bar, the perfect spot to come celebrate a success or drown your sorrows.
The beer selection was fairly standard and I went with a Mill street Organic on my last visit, but on my recent visit I went for glasses of their house Cab-Sauv which was pretty good.
My gripe with this place is that for a pub there is only ONE television in the entire place and it's behind the bar and not easily viewable from the one entire side of the bar. Also, the place can get busy pretty quick so if you're coming with a larger group call ahead as part of our group had to stand around our hightops while waiting for additional seating to open up
Would I come back? Yes sure
Do I recommend you visit? If you're in the area it the best Pub for your buck
X-factors? Apparently the wings were pretty awesome, I didn't have them
