This is just a small hole-in-the-wall place, but it’s not really your typical neighbourhood bar. There's an eclectic vibe to it that's kind of cool. It's a young crowd and the food is real good.
When you walk in, you'll see this tiny bar, tables crowded into asymmetrical spaces, and a sort of cozy but makeshift use of limited space. You may have not thought places like this even existed. But if you’re like me, all that stuff adds character.
They have a small on-tap collection of good beer. They often feature Toronto's own Amsterdam Brewing Co. They also have bottled beer. And they don't have fountain pop. So it's kind of funny to see piles of two-litre bottle and cans of pop behind the bar.
The food is real good. They serve excellent sandwiches as well as other good stuff. But it is a small menu. Their wings are baked and they're better than what you find most places.
I only know about the place because I have friends who live two doors down. And it is that sort of place. The service is laid-back and friendly, but sometimes so laid-back that it becomes slow. But don't let that bother you.
So if you get bored of all the high profile bars and pubs on Bloor, go to Ossington station and hop the 63 bus north to Davenport. It'll be a nice change of pace. And if you visit this place a few times, it will really grow on you.
