| - This was an interesting find while passing through TO. The outside architecture was gorgeous, and it's name gave me the impression that this bar might brew their own stuff.
For a bar, I'm unimpressed. Not too sure what this place is supposed to be - it had a full bar, full menu, but I couldn't tell which one complimented the other. Maybe it's a Jack Astor's type of place? The bar menu, in terms of beer, is very basic with a few local drafts. I didn't have anything to eat so
I can't speak of the food.
In a city like Toronto, I would expect a competitive list of craft beer alongside the typical brews, and E&S had very few choices and no stouts. That being said, I got an Okanagen from BC - and for 7$, it was fine though not what I'd typically go for.
Elephant and Castle was the perfect place to stop for a beer as I was passing through the city. It had a dated, but charming, decor that fit the look and feel of the place, and it was quiet enough for me to get some work done. My only critique is the selection of beers - it's lacking!
