1. Intersteer Restaurant
Toronto, ON M6R 2M8
(416) 588-4705
Category:
Polish
Neighbourhoods: High Park, Roncesvalles
This update is for one item and one item only.
That item is the Friday Special Fish & Chips.
Okay: here is the basic description: Nori wrapped Tilapia in tempura batter, on a bed of Asian slaw, served with Lotus root chips.
Shut up right! This is pub…More »

Truly a perfect 'local' bar.
While you might not find your favorite 'micro-brews' (justifiable… Read more »
2. Ted's Collision
Toronto, ON M6G 1B2
(416) 533-2430
Categories:
Dive Bars,
Pubs,
Restaurants
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Palmerston, Bickford Park
While I fully understand the reviews below, I would like to post a dissenting vote here.
Yes, Ted's can be loud, yes, it is dingy to the point of looking like it is one step from condemnation, and yes, it is dark as fuck.
However: if you live on…More »
3. The Red Light
Toronto, ON M6J 1X3
(416) 533-6667
Category:
Bars
Neighbourhoods: Little Portugal, Beaconsfield Village
This new bar, opened by the owners of Sweaty Betty's, and memorably described by them as "more Asian whorehousey" than their previous establishment, is one of my favorite destinations on Ossington.
I went opening night to check it out, and it was…More »
4. Baby Dolls Club - CLOSED
Toronto, ON M6J 2Z8
(416) 516-6500
Category:
Adult Entertainment
Neighbourhoods: Little Portugal, Ossington Strip, Trinity Bellwoods, Beaconsfield Village
Best stripclub in Toronto, and the only one that could be considered a great place to drink. Alas this entry is eulogy not endorsement, as it has changed hands and will be (or has already been) converted into something definitively worse. But, while…More »
5. Black Hoof
Toronto, ON M6J 1W3
(416) 551-8854
Category:
Gastropubs
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Trinity Bellwoods
Some points with which to preface this review:
1. I have a very limited budget.
2. I can only really afford to go out to eat once a week.
3. I have, in my 5 years thus-far in Toronto attempted to eat at as many places as possible, often to the…More »
6. Communist's Daughter
Toronto, ON M6J 1X3
(647) 435-0103
Category:
Bars
Neighbourhoods: Little Portugal, Ossington Strip, Beaconsfield Village
I concur with the other positive reviews here, this is a great place, with great beers, the best jukebox in the city, an awesome beer cheese sandwich, and a cosy, comfortable feel.
I merely want to add that this is an especially perfect place to go…More »
7. Sweaty Betty's
Toronto, ON M6J 2Y8
(416) 535-6861
Categories:
Dive Bars,
Champagne Bars
Neighbourhoods: Ossington Strip, West Queen West, Trinity Bellwoods, Beaconsfield Village
Like a few other bars on the Ossington strip, Sweaty Betty's seems to have (as a few other reviewers have noticed) garnered a reputation as a "hipster" bar. Besides the obvious fact that this is a basically meaningless insult generated from whatever…More »
8. Reposado Bar & Lounge
Toronto, ON M6J 2Z5
(416) 532-6474
While this bar has the appearance of one of the more upscale, pricey stops on Ossington, it can be the centre of a totally affordable night out. Focusing on great tequila, the bar is staffed by a very friendly a knowledgeable bunch of bartenders,…More »
9. Whelan's Gate Irish Pub
Three things that earn this place 4 stars:
1. Bourbon. So much bourbon. Also Scotch, a lot of scotch. While it might be a bit out of the way for downtown folks, Whelan's Gate is worth a trek once in a while just for their awesome and reasonably priced…More »
10. Ciro's
Toronto, ON M6H 1P2

Categories:
Canadian (New),
Thai,
Dive Bars
Neighbourhoods: Brockton Village, Bloordale Village, Wallace Emerson
First of all, as mentioned elsewhere, nicest owners ever: I have only met Frank, but he is an incredible guy who will always be interested in chatting, either on your thoughts on the bar/food/etc., or just in general, and has, on occasion, been known…More »
11. Gate 403 Bar & Grill
Toronto, ON M6R 2N1
(416) 588-2930
Categories:
Restaurants,
Jazz & Blues
Neighbourhoods: High Park, Roncesvalles
While I think that, overall, Gate 403 is a great bar, the above four stars is not for the bar as a whole, but for the bar on Tuesday Nights.
While Gate 403 has a revolving selection of live jazz, for free, every night of the week, Tuesdays are…More »
