I'm a big fan of Insomnia, for the longest time (before I had been there) I always assumed it would not be right up my alley but having visited it on a few occasions in recent times, I have come to enjoy their great drink selection and their…More »

3.5 stars!
Been here only three times, and I've enjoyed myself 2/3 times, I remember it had cheap-ish drinks and had a good selection of cocktails as well. The only reason it gets 4 stars over 3 is because I really enjoy it's basement set up of comfy…More »

Everytime I've visited the Duke I've had a good time. The drinks selection is good compared with most of the bars around the UofT campus. I've not tried the food here enough to in good conscious leave a full stamp of approval, but from the little…More »

Neighbourhood: The Annex

4.0 star rating

A  nice rooftop patio with food that I remember being better than I expected in a large quantity as well. And like Lauren mentions they do have good drink specials and the bartenders I've had have always been the right amount of friendly.

I've been…More »

4.0 star rating
  10/6/2011

While close to the UofT campus, the Bedford Academy does not give off a cheap student vibe and it has a pretty patio but I find it always busy and just opt for a place inside almost every time I've been here. Like most pubs around this area, I've…More »

 6. Madison Ave Pub & Restaurant

Categories: Canadian (Traditional), Pubs

Neighbourhood: The Annex

3.0 star rating
  10/22/2010

This is a great place for a large group of people since this place is all sorts of big inside. Apart from the nice big interior nothing else really stands out here but it's not overpriced as far as I can remember and that's a good thing.

I've not…More »

2.0 star rating

This was the first bar I went to with friends once I was 19. I now realise that I'm glad I didn't think all bars are like this.

There's nothing significantly wrong with the James Joyce, but compared with a lot of the other bars I've been too it falls…More »

2.0 star rating
  10/20/2010

I really thought this would be my first one star review, but alas I'm too nice.

I am often heard to say "I hate the Brunny" when someone suggests or brings it up. It could still be the best of it's kind out there and I would still not be a fan. I…More »

I'm sure I'm not alone in Toronto Yelp when I say that I came in here waiting for our Snakes and Lattes table to open up. It's the closest pub to the boardgames cafe and for that itself I'm grateful for it's existence.

I'm a sucker for designated TV…More »
