They are owned by the same people who run Cactus Club, for those of you who are familiar with them on the East coast. \n\nI was in Toronto for the holidays and was told by my friends in Vancouver that this is one of the new spots to check out - so I did just that. \n\nTurns out my uncle lives down the street from King Taps, so my brother and I walked over to grab a mid-day drink (hey, it was during the holidays!) and some lunch. It was fairly slow when we came in, so lucky us, we were able to grab a table right away. We were seated at a high-top table in the center of the room - perfect views of the whole restaurant. Our server came over and greeted us with water, and right away I had asked if she could bring over a pitcher. She brought that over quickly.\n\nThey have a pretty good selection of different cocktails, wines, and beers. I ended up ordering a caesar, because, why not? And I have to say, that it was one of the most satisfying (and yummiest) caesars I've ever drank. I always respect people who can make a damn good caesar that just hits the spot. So shout out to the bartender on duty that day for creating a drink that washed my hangover right away. \n\nMy brother and I weren't too hungry so we decided to split the shrimp and pesto flatbread and an order of their potato skins. They both came out really quickly, but I guess given how slow it was when we were there, this made sense. I was super impressed with the food. The flavour and quality were all there. The portions were large for what we were paying, which I always appreciate at restaurants. \n\nSidenote // Apparently this is a fun spot to come to have drinks at night, and so I came here to grab a cocktail at the bar one of the nights I was downtown. Service, food, and drinks were equally as awesome as my lunch experience. The music was loud, the people were friendly, and it was a great spot to start off my Toronto bar/drink adventure. \n\nOverall, both times I came in were wonderful! Come in, have a drink, grab some food, and enjoy the ambiance - you'll have a great time!"^^ . . "3"^^ . "5"^^ . . "7"^^ . "5"^^ .
