Review from Joey S.
Toronto, ON
This place has really grown on me since my first review. Make no mistake, it isn't a high-brow bar, it feels more like one's living room instead. The main night time bartender, Patrick, is great and really makes this a welcoming place. He is also one of the bar's owners.
Two big pluses for this bar:
1) The beer is value priced and is local craft brewed from breweries such as: Mill St, Steamwhistle, King, and Flying Monkees.
2) Super-friendly staff.
It seems like a living room or basement rec-room because Wednesday evenings they have video and board game competitions.
The sitting area is relatively small during the months that the large backyard patio isn't open.
The food is good, and they now have a printed menu. It is a rather limited selection, but I do highly recommend their burger.
If you like "Hole in the wall" atmosphere, cramped quarters, and craft beer, then I think this is a place people will generally like, quite probably a lot.Listed in: Places to eat and drink in…

PRICE: Great.
Ten dollar pitchers: Monday all day. Wed: until 9.
Including Cobblestone. So that's good.
Patio: Dirty. Looks like an abandoned trailer park or something. Unfortunately no sun in the back afternoon because of the high building to the West.
The front patio is better - but not much room (three tables).
Service: Friendly and welcoming. Told us about specials later in the week.
The cook still wasn't there around 6:30pm - which was unfortunate because I wanted a burger - had one earlier in the month and it was pretty decent.
Not a bad spot for a drink around Dundas/Keele.Listed in: DRINKNG IS FUN

It's very hard to rate it as I feel like giving the bar itself one rating and the experience of being there another lower rating.
Came here with a few friends on a rainy Thursday after 5. Nobody else was there until we were leaving when only a few people came. I guess Canada couldn't be more different than Europe if it tried.
Regardless, this place is pretty big for a tiny-looking one. A few tables outside, a good amount of tables inside, as well as a cute looking back patio.
Beer is apparently cheap (Toronto's not very accomodating to non-beer drinkers) while mixed drinks are only slightly less than average (about 6.75 including tax).
Service was not very prominent as we only had one drink and the bar was empty but the woman there was nice enough.
Has potential to be a great bar and perhaps it is but if only they could add some customers. -
Review from Michelle A.

I've walked by this bar a million times and thought it looked quite sketchy, the random bar with no name, located next to the Bang Bang Bar. However, it is actually quite cute and quaint inside. Shocking! The servers were all also very friendly and attentive.
They serve food all night, and have a wide list of beers on tap that are mostly local, like Big Wheel, Mill St Organic, etc. They also sell Grasshopper and other Big Rock beers. The pints and pitchers are very cheap - about $4 for drinks, $12.75 for pitchers. I will most definitely return. -

A relatively new place with a friendly staff and some great beers on tap (Hoptical Illusion!!!). Not mind blowing, not spectacular, just a good neighbourhood bar that I would be at a lot more often than once every few months if they were closer to home.
Bonus: changed the channel on the big TV from hockey that nobody was watching to Gremlins for me. GREMINS! -

The Bar with No Name recently opened up in the place where the ever-empty Z-Bar used to be, and the signs of them still working out the kinks of being a newly opened place are still there. It was fairly obvious that the space was still in the process of being turned into something else, and there was still a lot of remenants of Z-Bar to be found. I've been to Z-Bar once, and I couldn't really tell the difference between the two, except for the kick-ass, inviting new Bar With No Name sign out front.
Simply put, No Name's staff are amazing, thoughtful, and exactly how food biz staff shoudl be. They were really concerned with making sure we had a good time, and because of them, our experience was good. Even though the place was busy, they still made time to chat with us and didnt make us feel rushed.
No Name's food menu was the standard bar fare. Burgers, wings, and fried foods were front and center, but despite the plainness of the menu, the food was hot, fresh, and served the way it should be.
The music in this place, however, really needs some improvements. We probably would have stayed for another drink if it wasn't for commercials blasted over the radio being the only form of entertainment. I asked if they could put some sattelite radio on, and I was told not to worry because a DJ was going to be playing soon. I left at 1030, and I never saw or heard a DJ, just Leon's, Loblaw's, and car commercials at full volume.
It does seem as though they rushed to open, and they probably could have used another week or two to get things together, but once they get it all worked out, this place stands a great chance at becoming the perfect neighbourhood hangout.
*We plan to review again in two months. -
