We chose this place for a pint over the other two patios at the intersection and it was a good choice.

Good patio to relax on and people watch, friendly waitress and manager (owner?), fair prices, good selection.

A-OK!

Came in at the end of the night for some poutine and beer. Both were not bad but really, the poutine would not have been as enjoyable had we not been drinking I'd expect.

Service was alright. They were not thrilled to have people walk in just before…More »
