| - K-Town really needed a new bar, the hipsters at Clintons were overflowing into the streets every night.
I have been so excited about the opening of Pour Boy over the past month. I didn't even know what exactly it planned to be, but I saw the spray painted wall mural completed last month and I was hoping it would be something cool.
Pour Boy finally opened it's doors a few days ago. Last night Eric L and I stopped in to investigate.
It's a two-story bar and restaurant wedged on the corner of Bloor and Manning st. We sat outside on the patio (nice tables and big wicker chairs) but popped inside and upstairs to check out the rest of the place. Full bar on both floors, nice decor, dark, candles, vintage looking chandeliers. Definitely classier than the decor at the Green Room, more of an intimate vibe.
Our waitress (VERY friendly!) explained that Pour Boy is operated by the same owners as the Green Room (Annex), Red Room (on Spadina) and Nirvana (on College).
The drinks are cheap and they have a cheap and expansive food menu too. A pint was $4, bar shots $3.50 and my giant pint of diet coke was $1.50
I will definitely be back to try the cheap food. They had a selection of bar food - burgers, sandwiches, pad thai, perogies, fajitas, salads, brunch items. Grilled cheese with sweet potato fries is only $4.50!!?!? Hook me up.
Will update my review after a few more visits.
