The Old Nick is a decent pub for a quick pint or bite to eat. Conveniently located at Broadview and Danforth, they are just a short walk from the subway. There is a decent amount of seating inside and the servers are pretty friendly.
Although we didn't try the food, it looked pretty good. Their beer selection was decent and the pints were very good. They have a patio out back which is ideal for summer drinks while the weather lasts.
I got the feeling that a lot of the patrons knew the staff on a first name basis, which makes me feel better about dropping by more often. I hate giving my money to chain pubs and restaurants, and would much rather support local businesses like this one.
