Jason Priestley sighting in the lobby bar! Has he done anything since 90210? Uch, those girls just found him...won't they leave him alone already? I don't care how hot they are!
Real Sports, our third sports bar stop of the day, wasn't doing it for us so we bailed. Baffled that my date just said no to the crown jewel of North American sports bars (they ARE showing the US Open, but with NFL sound blasting through the speakers? Too confusing! :)), we started walking and saw a blue flash of hardcourt through the window.
The Germain was showing the Open in a sleek lobby bar (Play Lounge) with a fun but professional bartending staff that make a fetchin' caesar, which includes tequila and is topped with Steam Whistle! A good drink for a hangover. The food list looked fine. The appetizers were affordable; the mains appeared overpriced. We chatted up some visitors from London and provided some resto reccos. It was a gay old time.
This is a cool hideaway in the middle of the Maple Leaf Square chaos - I heard the hotel is really nice, and I'm surprised it's flown so under the radar. Do they want it to be? I assume not.
I'll be back.
