Why is it so difficult to order a simple drink in Toronto?
Well, I guess it's not too difficult to order a gin and tonic or rye and coke or draught beer. But, why is it so hard to get a bourbon and ginger with a splash of bitters? Seriously, first I have to explain that Jack Daniels is not bourbon, then I have to explain what bitters are...
Not so at Squirly's. There's a selection of bourbons! They have bar bitters. And the drink doesn't cost $10, less than half of that if my memory serves me correct.
The back patio is open all year, the regulars are good people and the food isn't going to win any awards, but who wants their local dive to win an award anyways? Grab brunch in the front window and watch as Queen West slowly steps out of bed.
