Great Local bar. The food is great, the staff are extremely friendly, and it offers a cozy atmosphere that a lot of pubs fail to do. Im glad I live close enough to make this one of my go-to places for a quick bite or a long night of drinks with a friend.

SO CONVIENENT!
right across from the subway, this friendly local sports eatery gets a decent after work crowd from the commuting hoards and fairly solid base of local regulars. Hockey is on above the bar and you can hear the "sports chatter" throughout but it is without large screens so it never gets too bad. great WINGS on special MON,TUE,WED., super friendly "lifer" staf and a clean kitchen make this a repeat destination. Positive: LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. If your east end friends don't have to take a bus, it is so much easy to get them into the west end.
Negative: No patio, no dedicated parking -

I've been going to Orwell's for years. Location is awesome: right across the street from islington station, which makes it SUPER easy to get home if you're from etobicoke.
The bar isn't huge. It's nice and cozy. Not too many young kids, moreso an older crowd. In the summer they open up a tiny little patio in front. I usually smoke in the back with one of the bartenders; the staff is awesome!
They have TVs around the bar and usually have a game or two going. I absolutely love their calamari and chicken wraps.
This isn't a place to go to if you want to have a drunken, party night. Very low key bar and is perfect for the nights you just want to grab a few pints and some food. -

It is a brightly lit room with very little coziness.
The server was friendly and the bartender was unengaged (she spent most of her time checking her cell phone for messages and yakkin' on the phone).
There were quite a few people there ... it looks like a comfortable spot for locals. -

Orwell's has been our after-work pub of choice for many moons now. It has lots of great beers on tap, friendly staff and flat screens scattered about for the sports fans. Reliable pub grub - The best wings in Etobicoke, (I think wing nights are on Sundays, and Mondays?) Answer their "question of the day" & win a prize.
It is a mid-sized pub with mostly stools, and a couple tiny booths along the wall. If it's free, there is one large raised booth, good for groups. A couple video games and dart boards are in the corner.
In the summer they open the windows to the street, and added a smallish patio, perfect for those still determined to smoke. There is one step to get inside, but the bathroom is down a flight of stairs, so it's not truly wheelchair accesible.
If you go, be sure to ask them why their WiFi is locked. I want the option of sending drunken emails if I want to! -

This pub is an Etobicoke staple... which is odd because in the ten years I lived in Etobicoke I only went twice. As a pub the atmosphere is weird, and reminiscent of an alcoholic grand-mother's living room but the waitresses are usually pretty fast and attentive. The food is surprising good. I ordered the pesto gnocchi and wasn't disappointed

A friend and I ended up here after realizing the nearby coffee place where we used to meet had closed down. We popped in and seated ourselves. A few minutes later, the brunette version of Dolly Parton came up and asked if we'd like any beers. Neither of us are huge beer drinkers, so we just asked for waters and menus. We ordered nachos which were not nearly cheesy/salsa-y enough. The rest of our time spent there basically consisted of repeated prompts to order beers, eye rolls when we said no, and an insincere "How's the food?" at one point. We left exact change. Parton threw us a parting eye roll and sarcastic "thanks" on our way out.
