This is not that place. BYOB is a \"one stop shop\" for your bar and cocktail needs and it really doesn't disappoint. There are all manner of supplies for the booze-thusiast: cocktail shakers, beer making kits, coasters shaped like records and kitschy glassware. Whether you drink beer, wine or spirits (and there is even stuff for coffee drinkers) you'll find something cool here. \n\nThey is a good mix of new and old here. Some vintage glass coasters reminded me of my dad's old silver-rimmed ashtray. I'd get it for him but smoking's a nasty habit, and I'm the didactic type. Maybe I'll get him an absinthe fountain here instead. They have those here too. \n\nIt would be a challenge to not find a worthwhile gift for your drinky-drinky friends. And the best part: affordable. I was able to spot a tonne of cool things for under $40. I will have to return to pick up some 20\" baseless champagne flutes.\n\nObligatory Title Cryptic: Dyslexic b-boy initially totes flask. (4)\n\nMenu Readability: If their logo's typeface was anymore 70s, it would be experience double-digit inflation.\n\nNeed to mention: Oh, and there is Blue Jays memorabilia and even some furniture too. \n\nWhat this place teaches me about myself: I am torn: do I want a vintage glass cocktail shaker or the ultra-modern steel one with the fliptop?
