At the recommendation of Dougshoemaker, had dinner here. A nice selection of bottles and draught accompanied a comfy atmosphere. Service was very good. I ordered a Chiswick Bitter and then a Hop It. Both in proper glassware with accompanying knowledge from the staff. These guys are serious about their beer.I ordered a burger for dinner and it was a fresh patty with a delicious slaw and tasty frites. The specials looked great too. I’ll come back to spend some more time next time I am in town.

Nice cozy pub in Summerhill area. More adult crowd than Abbott at Yonge/Lawrence. Service is top notch. Beers are an interesting collection of Euros, with many draught choices rarely seen on tap in Ontario. While unique, there’s a definite gap without the Ontario/US micros (i.e., hopheads will be disappointed). Food is excellent pub fare. In a bit of a chi-chi neighbourhood so a little expensive but still decent bang for the buck.

Visited for lunch on a Saturday afternoon last April, this little pub has a fair beer selection for the city. Lots of Belgian selections and some expensive imports in bottles, the tap list is a fair range of local and common brews. Service was friendly, food was tasty, and the overall feel is modern and comfortable, but there’s an infused cost with everything that puts off more regular visits.

This Toronto pub is a wonderfully warm venue. The atmosphere is inviting; on my visit it was small enough to be cozy but still not too cramped or crowded. I was glad to see many beers unique to Toronto both on draught and in bottles. Our appetizer was good. My friends and I agreed that returning is a must.

I swear I rated this before. Hmmm. Great atmosphere, service is friendly. Tap list is mostly imports but decent. Food is excellent, not cheap but reasonable. Hmm, the fact that I have not been back recently enough to have more to say than anything else. Rather nice, but theres other places I would go in Toronto first.

Re-rate: What an incredible little place. Staff all very knowledgeable, a nice selection of import beers on tap and in bottle (all mainly German & UK products) all served in proper glassware. It’s a very cosy pub, ideal for an after work pint, a midday crossword and a chat pint or indeed a date. The atmosphere is very friendly and conducive to conversation and banter. The food is really really good. I had without doubt the best bangers and mash I have ever had. If you’re in Toronto and looking for a decent place to go for a pint and enjoy a great atmosphere, then this is the place. I can’t wait to go back.

I’ll concur with Sammy, that this bar shows a lot of promise. I’ve eaten there a couple of times, and been impressed with the quality. The curry, in particular was outstanding, and foodwise, this joint is a cut above regular pub fair. The beer selection is geared towards the European scene, and word is they are expanding their bottle selection to bring in a number of Het Anker beers. The atmosphere is quite nice, and has a slightly upmarket feel to it, which isn’t surprising considering the neighbourhood.

A modestly sized bar near Summerhill LCBO. ANother small one upstairs. Trying to join the beer scene in Toronto and promising. Everything on tap is European, with a Belgium, and a few UK and Germany available, Two cask engines. Great promise.
