I don't drink... so this would probably colour my review :D But I went here with a large group of friends to enjoy their company, bar food, and the scene. What they didn't mention was how many drunk people are here from the local business towers. I looked over to the right of me and saw one of the financial service reps I've used in the past and say how they were slurring their words. Well... and they put you in charge of financing mortgages! Ok then!
We were on the patio which has a great view of the Square one parking lot (lol). It's far enough from the road that you don't get too much inhalation of the exhaust fumes. The interior of this place is a lot of dirty brown brass and wood paneling... it's not one of the clean modern bars. Nope, it's old and they like it that way. When I went, it was starting to get crowded at 10:30 pm but we were still able to find a table on the patio. It's quite the casual place... don't expect anyone looking like they're heading downtown Toronto. It's all about jeans and t-shirts. The atmosphere is ok. It wasn't a place that I normally would say try to socialize with random people. Most people were focused on their own table or they were drunk that it's pointless to say hi. It's an ok place to sit in a crowd with good friends. Speaking of crowds, I would say it's older (as in early 30s) on the night we went and there was a few young people but they were mostly monopolized by the cougars (lol!! free entertainment!). Live music is also done and it can be good (supposedly). The night I went, it was rather forgettable as I can't even recall the name of the band (and I wasn't even drinking).
Bar food was edible but not great. We had the sweet potato fries and nachos. Sweet potatos weren't super crispy or salted well. I've had better at fast food places. The nachos had lots of cheese on it but they kinda gelled together which made for interesting textures. I wasn't a fan. Considering the cost of the sweet potato fries, it's seriously overpriced. Drink prices are fare (according to my pals).
All in all, it's a standard pub in the middle of the burbs. Perhaps I can convince my friends to head to the shiny new pub in Heartland Centre, Fionn MacCool's. At least it's shiny!
