its only because more people need to find out about yelp that bily kun hasnt been reviewed yet. this bar is damn cool. like maybe youll find yourself in the midst of a raid and have to fly out the back door (if there was one). like you might come up to the long tall black wood and brass bar and the bartender might say "whatll it be friend" (although thatd all happen in french). like from some back room a dark heavy silhouette named vito corleone might tell you to join him for a plate of linguini and clams (for the last meal of your life).
Bily Kun, is just like that. its literally old in design with a huge tall bar, checkered tiles on the floor but adorned and brought into our century with strange things like ostrich heads hanging on the wall. real ones. like a good ten of them. They also have a large wall near the back where they tend to feature one large piece of artwork for the year.
when its busy, its damn busy and can actually be a little too noisy at times, but on a hot summer day, with the lights turned low and the front garage door rolled up to let the live jazz music pour out onto the street, its very sexy.
ive enjoyed several micro brewery beers there - perhaps they might be more standard in montreal, but not so much elsewhere in toronto so its a nice treat. i always get the cheval blanc.
