Would have given this cozy spot a higher rating had I not experienced the surliest bartenders this side of Bloor West.
Checked this spot out as part of a Christmas bar crawl in which there were about 20 - 30 of us. Came in a few minutes to 10pm on a Saturday night and found the place empty, save a couple huddled at a table in the corner. Nice ambiance, candles on every table and brick interior. Headed to the bar with the group to grab our drink and noticed the 2 female bartenders really dragging their heels, no smiles, looked really miserable and unhappy to serve us. After about 10 minutes of waiting (like I mentioned, there were several of us) I overheard one of the bartenders say "There's no quarters left 'cause no one is tipping us". Sorry ladies, in my experience tips are earned by great service, going above and beyond one's expected duties. It's at that point I decided to opt out of my festive drink and move on to the next spot that actually wanted business.
Needless to say, the bar was once again empty when out group left. Won't be coming back to this one.
