| - This is a fun pub, with good atmosphere, reasonable prices and a pretty good wait staff.
I went here with a bunch of colleagues for a little holiday social after work. We were definitely the only suits in the place (which I appreciated). The crowd changed over the evening. It was mostly George Brown students when we arrived, but as the evening went on the crowd seemed to get a bit older, more of an after work crowd.
As I was leaving, there was a singer who started performing kind of a folk/celtic/rock music mix. He was pretty good, notwithstanding that he appeared to have a little liquid courage before getting onstage. The crowd definitely loved him and were singing along, which I always get a kick out of.
I ordered the "world famous" steak. It was slightly overdone and a bit tough, but for $15, it was well worth it. The fish and chips looked good too, and most people that ordered them seemed happy.
For Irish pubs in that the neighbourhood, I have a soft spot for PJ O'brien's, but McVeigh's seems more reasonably priced and is more casual.
