| - This place is unassuming & comfortable. Not annoyingly hip, & not repetitively dull.
It's definitely one of those weird sorts of crushes that I developed with Wallflower after "being involved" with it's location on bloor (3 Speed), I came here to compare...like when you date someone for a while and then develop mad hots for their best buddy; a "Jessie's Girl" type of sitch.
...it was a lovely environment.
While still perfectly encapsulating the great comfort & feel of an evening during which you go over to your old buddy's house for some chip n dip and beers, this place makes you feel like your buddy has just returned from a glorious trip to Europe, and has just become way more cool and interesting, and is now serving you oysters and craft beers.
It's romantic, but doesn't come on too strong.
It can also be platonic, but not too bro-ish or friend zone-ish.
And if you go by yourself, you may spend (unknowingly) the greatest 4 hours or more of your life in a cozy dim lit corner with a good read, or with your conscious, or just people watch, & fall in love with hanging out by yourself in a wicked new way.
It is one of the most beautiful resto/bars in the city! While most bars try really hard to recreated a bohemian and chill and dark feel, this bar just doesn't try at all but the atmosphere simply speaks for itself and creates a fun aura. It's very fun there! The tunes are groovy.
Drinks and finger foods are reasonable, and it has a adorably wicked back room too! I think you should most def try it out.
