This downtown local keeps its "around the corner" feel instead of getting caught up in the hustle and bustle of the big city. Friendly service and a huge bar are great for hanging out with friends, or meetups before and after just about any Toronto game.
My favourite aspect of Jack Astor's is the drinks. The food is OK, but their drinks out-do themselves. When I finally realized that the place brews and bottles their own rootbeer I was hooked. Deliciously smooth and much better than A & W, I truly appreciated the option of a brewed non-alcholic beverage for the sober vegetarian in me.
