THIS IS THE LEGENDARY SPOT OF GERRARD/COXWELL.
It is exactly what you would expect from a place named 'Occassions.' It's like Cheers, but less alcoholism and more food. The bar has many regulars who drink slowly for hours and say stuff to each other every once in a while while watching whatever is on TV. As far as the restaurant is concerned- they have the best wing deal- possibly- in the city. 2 lbs. for-- ...I don't remember the price-- but it was something that a higher end place would charge for just 1 lb. Get them suicide and baked. Great stuff. Their garlic bread is special too.
Besides a couple other highlights like that, this is a charmingly mediocre joint, reliably decent all around in every way, every time.
They recently got a relatively young attractive female bartender, which I'm sure shook things up a lot for everyone in the neighbourhood. But don't get any ideas guys- she has a boyfriend.
Happy Occassioning.
***Update: the 2 lb wing menu item has now been replaced with a 1 lb wing menu item. I am reluctantly keeping the 5-star rating.
