On Spadina just south of Richmond is a tiny bar that's basically a hallway. I swear, at 30 people, it's rammed. Wide Open is a good local joint, no frills, friendly family-like staff and decent prices. I often get people to meet me there before I have to go into the club district for work. It's a good spot to get away from the hustle and bustle that is Queen and Spadina on any given night.
