Volo is the 'east end' as far as I am concerned. It's on the East side of Yonge Street, so I can't say I'm there much. But luckily I was taken there by a friend who lives even further east than Yonge! I got a flight of beers, which was amazing. The…More »

Smokeless Joe's- the name no longer describing a unique feature of bars in Toronto, since all are smokeless now. But I still appreciate a place that has smelled like yeasty beer and shellfish when you walk in, instead of that smoky bar smell.

Each new branch of this Toronto-born restaurant has taken on its own little theme. Stem Diner was a historic landmark on the old Queen West strip, back when instead of Crocs and Esprit there was The 360 and the old-fashioned furniture store. I'm glad…More »

Plus 2 stars for the massive- sun filled patio. Hopefully the city never puts a sun-blocking condo on the parking lot on the corner of Queen and Soho. The place has a variety of drinks- but it's all about the beer. Draught beers, bottled beers, cans?…More »

Relatively expensive for Ossington, The painted lady offers an interesting selection of beer and nachos. Nachos get top marks for using fritos instead of generic corn tortilla chips and cheese whiz instead of semi-melty shredded cheese.  Watch out…More »

Cute corner bar. As others have said, it's small, but the bartenders have plenty of space to move around behind the bar.  They have food, but I didn't see a menu- just a few folks showed up and asked for items- pulled pork apparently.  Very…More »

Smokeless Joe's 2.0

The new version is a lot like the old one. Same old Mullet-ed cook, great wait staff, and super selection of beers.
The new version has a cave-y architecture, I love it! The brick walls, the beamed ceilings, the curved archways.

Mill Street Brunch on a Saturday was packed! For those who don't mind a little hair of the dog, they serve beer pretty early. I just got a coffee to drink.
Of the food options, they are all pretty big portions.
The peameal bacon is really coated in…More »

If you see a spot on the patio, snag it NOW and Call me!
The sun hits the front just right, but even at night the patio is a hit. One of the few nightlife, but kinda kid-friendly places in the Market.
And yes you can order a grilled cheese for…More »
