For my friends south of the border who may be reading this review, this is so not what you think. This is an amazing, live music venue where only the coolest bands and djs of the region (and occasionally further!) hold up residency. Anytime I'm up this way, I try to hit up this venue. I enjoy slugging back a great many Molson Canadians while I catch a band or a deejay groove or two. There are a great many bars in Toronto that go back decades that I just adore, but The Bovine is probably my favorite. Back when smoking was allowed in bars, they used to have matchbooks that read, "Pets or Meat?" on the booklet flipside of the bar's infamous moniker. The staff also use to adorn themselves with these really cool black t-shirts that read on the back, "Pet Me, Milk Me, Kill Me, Eat Me". BEST BAR IN ALL OF T.O.!
