Review from Devyn G.

Ok, ok. Maybe dropping Loons to two stars was a little much. I was being pouty about Bleucheesegate... and while it's still thin and not bleu cheese but sour cream mixed with milk... that still shouldn't deter you from going here. Not that I ever intended that.
Because, seriously? Loons' wings are among the best in the High Park/Roncy strip, and maybe even among the best in the city. Large pieces, excellent sauces. Even their "mild" has a rich flavour that's rarely found elsewhere, and I'm a suicide (or worse, "Loony", fan).
But the best addition to their menu has to be the pulled pork sandwiches. Nom nom nom...Listed in: Roncy Village, Winging It

I'm heartbroken.
You know, there comes a point when you add so much milk to the already cheeseless… Read more »

Alas, something about Loons doesn't quite click. I've been here both for an afternoon beer, and an evening, um, series of beers, and while it's not a particularly bad bar, somehow it never stands out for me.
The food is fine, although they can't compete with the prices of the ethnic eateries further down Roncesvalles; they also have standard bar deals like tall-boy specials. The patio out back is quite spacious, so definitely head through the bar to there if the weather is nice, as the interior seems a bit gloomy even during the day. -

The Loon has a shuffleboard! The great game of shuffle-boarding brings me back to my youth where i spent hours on my grandparents board.
The Loon is like many pubs in the Polish hub...OK.
Now they have a great multi teared patio out back which is great for hanging out in the summer. The wait staff is not afraid to stir up it - as we once had a debate over how the Loon was our national animal. She claimed it was the Beaver?! But it's nice to have a pub where the people have personality!
They have some good live music on some nights, and they always have beer. So its on my list of places to drink beer! Cheers!Listed in: Guys Night Out!

the loons is like a typical pub. except it has a shuffleboard. and the regulars sit at the bar and watch curling. the drinks and food seem average... but they do have this great special: a mini-pitcher for the price of a pint. i'm not sure when that special occurs but i was there on a holiday monday around 3pm. this is a fantastic deal. the mini-pitcher is good for at least two pints (and maybe a little extra). i checked out the patio and it looks like it would be pretty sweet in the summer time. i would go back for their drink specials but it wouldn't be the first place i'd choose on roncesvalles to meet for a drink, although i may reassess this in patio season.
