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 »

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.

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 »
