Is there any way I could love this place more?
Well, maybe if Jude Law worked there and spent the night flattering me. Ok, maybe not, I hear he's a DB... but he's pretty. So ANYWAY, I have nothing but rave reviews for this place. It's the #1 place I…More »

I used to be all about coming here on a packed out Thursday night to hear random artists sing about requited/unrequited love, roadtrips to Manitoba, cheese, etc., Lately, though, it takes a lot to bring me back. I fully enjoy their veggie burgers,…More »

Came here last night for the open mic show. The music was fantastic. The food, on the other hand, was average. Nothing was wrong with it, but nothing was worth writing home about, you know? Yet I am at home, writing about it to you. Weird.

I am in love with this venue.
Cliche but true: this place is a diamond in the rough. Nestled in the not-so-cozy DTES across from the police station, this unexpected venue is a true GEM. It is a huge space accented with rich reds, golden brown tiles,…More »

Asian Fusion

The food: Great tasting, but pricey and small in size (to be expected). In fairness though, it's HARD to pull off upscale Asian cuisine in a city filled with incredible and affordable Asian restaurants.
The service: Fabulous, friendly and down to…More »

Toby's is a great neighborhood pub that outclasses the neighborhood (my hood, baby!) in a refreshing way. The pub has a classy British pub look that is warm inviting. I love that. The upstairs area I like best... it just seems brighter up there and…More »

My awesome-o roomie played a show here last night. Naturally I was stoked to come because a) my roomie is awesome b) his band rocks da casbah and c) the Astoria has been on my must-see list for quite some time. Triple score!…More »
Came here on Tuesday for a good ol' night of amateur comedy. Knowing there'd be newbies onstage, I came expecting the worst while knowing that the crash an burn can be hugely entertaining.
I'll admit that some serious crashing took place onstage but…More »

Whoa, beneath a starry painted sky the blue tiki room enchants, with an impressive all-vinyl DJ and salubrious Nuba eats.

EFF YEAH!
An original space... and even the word 'original' feels like an understatement.
The name 'PropHouse' comes from cafe's biz of renting out props (you're welcome for stating the obvious). Truthfully though, I wouldn't have guessed it but it…More »
