The Paddock is Toronto's 3rd oldest bar. That in itself is enough reason to go visit, but their beer selection makes it worthwhile too. See my pic of the German Hopf beer on tap which was sampled and it was delicious and fresh. The history of the Paddock is illustrious and colourful, alive with Toronto spirit and decadence. The decor is dark wood, mysterious and rich in tone and feel. It's not a large space, but well proportioned and airy, despite being dark. There are two large TV screens, on adjacent walls, so it would be a good place to watch a game. The bartender was friendly and had some great tunes playing on his iTunes computer. It's off the beaten tourist path of Queen St. West and well worth the small detour south of the Pizza joint on the corner.
