- pretty standard pub. nothing really special to write home about EXCEPT....
- but what gives it 4 stars is the weekly corktown uke jam on wednesday nights
- held in the backroom from 8 to 9pm, youll get to know that there are tons (there were over 100) of peeps in the GTA who are ukulele players!! -

I went out with a couple of work buddies where my friend's father happened to be playing with the band performing that night.
The tables were very small and the place was packed but I was delightedly surprised by the great ambiance where everyone talked to each other with a jolly approach and to find delicious food at this old fashion bar seemingly a bit sketchy at first. I enjoyed a Dominion burger, one of us took the Chicken supreme which looked very good, some of us shared the truffled fries and another one had the $9.00 poutine which is definitely over priced.
It's a laid-back joint to go kick back with pals and have a few beers while doing your thing on the dance floor when a good music band is getting the crowd going. -

Respectable east end spot with daily specials and quick service. They also offer live music and comedy nights, but I think the place is better suited for drinks and food. The east-facing patio is small, but a good place to booze after work in the summertime.
Obligatory Title Pun: Holding DOMINION over local alternatives.
Menu Readability: Single pager, as I recall. Poor choice of typeface.
Need to mention: Terrazzo floors and way-too-high ceilings for a pub. This girl ain't pretty.
What this place teaches me about myself: I'm up for a drink any time of day. -

Because it's further east than I typically venture, I don't get here often. However, when I do, it's well worth the trip. Last time I hit here was a Saturday where local comic Dave Martin records the Corktown Radio podcast at the back. The back area is a secluded bar making it great for private functions, busy weekend spill-over, or in this case, recording a podcast.
The décor is definitely very pubby, but still with a strong sense of history in that this is one of the older taverns in the city. Add to this the raised stage at the front that will typically house tables of diners during the day, or jazz and blues players at night. One of the few jazz houses in the city? Nice.
My assumption that the food would be typical pub fare dissipated when I ordered lunch. Great Panini, fresh salad, flavourful and just chock full of awesomeness. I look forward to going back for another podcast, another lunch, and another few pints of dandy beer. See you Saturday. -

6 months ago I would have agreed with the reviews of Dominion Pub, but since then they've hired a new chef who has run it into the ground. The menu used to have so many great pub classics and variety, but is now half a page of miscellaneous grub. The final straw for me was when I ordered a panini and wanted to replace the salad with fries but it was refused by the chef. It's a pub! Not the 4 seasons, Jackass.

hot jazz. nice beers + cider on tap. nice grub.
BUT what is up with the super sketchy people walking through the bar glaring at people as they make their way to the pool area? it's disconcerting to say the least, and totally detracts from such a cool little spot. both times i've been there i've experienced this phenomenon. bah humbug.
