How many hours and conversations with different people have I had at the toad? Who knows.
It's my general meet-up or end-up spot when enjoying a night out in Winnipeg.
Great bartenders, good beer prices, interesting folk. Although many awkward run-ins with vague high school people I know but don't.
"Hi Denise, how have you been?!"
"Good, how are you" (Racking my brain for name...)
"I'm great what do you do now? What school do you go to?"
"I'm a bum who dropped out of University and moved away"
"Oh.... ok see ya around."
I've never had the food here, or really seen anyone eating food here for that matter. But, I've seen the kitchen and it smells good.
-1 star for no freakin' seats ever. -

Went here before lunch on a Sunday. As expected from a pub at that time service was going to be slow along with the food (as it does need to defrost).
We ordered the Dusty Toad with house salad. It was a thick burger with their own twist, as expected from any decent pub. If you can't get a good overpriced burger from a pub, i can't really say much for the rest of their food.
Anyway it had fried onion rings and mushrooms which were great. Though it had some jalapenos which I didn't like too much (forgot to ask them to remove it). It took quite a long time to make about 30 minutes I think.
I may still go back, though it does look dingy. -

One of the staple Irish pubs in Winnipeg, every bit as worn and weary as a favourite old pair of sneakers, and smells about the same.
In spite of being total in hole in the wall in Winnipeg's Osborne Village, the shabby, multi-level interior works as a pub concept and at least the bloody dart boards are accessable.
Menu highlights are the scotch eggs and so-named Best Burger in the City and I'll tell you what...it really is a fantastic burger that may well deserve the name.
On tap, everything you'd expect and them some including the holy-trinity of ales: Guinness, Kilkenny and Smithwicks.

The Hole in the Toad is a hole in the wall bar - you know, the ones with character. The character - the toad - came with an accent! I would assume it is a British pub, as it has the British menu, but our bartender/server was from Scotland, and we adored him! I had the fish and chips. Very classic battered fish and hand cut fries. The tarter served with it was good, but I also enjoyed the vinegar that sat on the table. My BF had the burger, which was really superb. Different, but really had good flavor. The bar had a good selection of beer and was refinished recently. The floral chairs should be the next to go. However, it was a jolly great place for lunch - even though we were the only ones eating there.
