"With respect, I must disagree somewhat with my esteemed fellow reviewer Todd V.\n\nIf you happen to be on the Esplanade, Scotland Yard is the place to go - friendly bouncers, great servers, reasonable drink prices, great chill vibe without the pretentiousness that pervades the strip (I'm looking at you Bier Markt, you jackasses)...it's just a good place to hang out and have a drink with friends.\n\nIt's an Olde English Pub basically - and unless you're an investment banker or a 905er visiting The Big City for a Big Night Out (read: trolling for drunken sluts), you definitely don't want it to have a makeover since it's fine as it is, has character and doesn't feel metrosexual.\n\nUnfussy, solid pub grub rounds out the experience - grab the nachos with guacamole - the guac is a tad expensive as an add-on, but it's freshly made and superb.\n\nI give Scotland Yard two thumbs up with an extra middle finger to the Bier Markt just for good measure (check out my Bier Markt review so you know what I'm talking about)."^^ .
