This place was largely part of the appeal of buying a house in leslieville in a somewhat industrial pocket before the area blew up into a Brooklyn style cool vibe on queen St east. This place was one of a kind when it popped up and in many ways still is.
Years ago In the winter before they put up the yurt for extra seating (that they definitely need) you could see their cute mini skating rink on the cement slab out front and smell the wood-burning stove ---truly incredible
You felt transported to Ireland and really happy to be in Canada in the coldest months at the cutest best hidden secret bar!
It is still awesome now but I don't recommend sitting in the yurt, personally I find it hard to breathe, no oxygen flow in there. But just make your way to the bar or table.
In the summer their patio is one of the very best in the city
Non-pretentious even though it's pretty hipster now
great staff awesome oysters great scotch, beer and wine.
Food is all fresh have the land last week it blew my mind I'm usually too cheap to get a full meal because it is expensive when I can cook myself but their food is so high grade it's always well worth the money
This is an amazing spot to go for St Patty's especially if you don't want drunk 20-year-olds all over you
Usually have a great Irish bands and Irish dancers on that weekend
I've also seen some tours come through looking like they're having the best time and never want to leave Kealy on their bar hop
Favorite dishes that pop up as daily specials include the Collie flower soup spicy salmon soup muscles are always good the lamb as mentioned below and any house fresh made burger but they always run out because it's too popular lol
Very pleased to have this spot in the hood
