Tallboys is a casual place where craft beer meets the more traditional sports bar vibe. We capped off a recent wilder than usual Tuesday at Tallboys after a disappointing stop at the pricey Northwoods.
The BEER: I'll start here, because, well, it's in the name of the bar. They had a modest tap list of Ontario beers...it had a few good beers in it, and a lot that I'm not such a fan of. I quite enjoyed the Nickelbrook Naughty Neighbor, which was quite a standout for Nickelbrook. As the name suggests, they have a lot of tallboys available...it's a reasonable selection, but you're not going to get too far into the unusual or interesting category. 4 stars.
The FOOD: Tuesday is taco Tuesdays...which meant we had tacos. They were fairly good, better than most sports bars, not as good as Grand Electric. The surprise standout was the nachos with house made chips...I'm a sucker for house made chips. It's a large portion...share with friends!
The SERVICE: The server was attentive and knowledgeable....pretty friendly.
The VIBE: Hipsters meets sport bars. That means the guy raising his arm to cheer the Leafs on television has a tattoo sleeve ;)
Overall, it's a nice find in the area for a simple bite and pint.
