I've only been here for a Craig Ferguson stand up show so I can't really say much in terms of acoustics except that I could hear him, the location itself while being in a great spot in the city and playing host to constantly tempting acts impressed…More »

I don't frequent the Bloor Cinema outside festivals such as hot docs or Toronto After Dark too much, but each time I come here I'm always treated to a great atmosphere. Anyone that's been to a Midnight Madness screening at tiff would love it here…More »

I am not sure how I feel about Malabar it's an amazing store to just walk around but so painful to look at price tags. They have an amazing selection of costumes both that are not cheap and also expensive. So be prepared to dish out some solid dough…More »

I've been here a few times for a couple of formal events, a meal and a few times to their basement pub (although we always end up sitting on their patio upstairs).

I love so many things about Mylk Uncookies, possibly one of my favourite names on the Coffee Passport, they have a very Clockwork Orange milk bar esque interior (well I only say that because it's predominately white and called Mylk). A crowning…More »

After my morning coffee at Mylk Uncookies I walked around Allan Gardens since I'm hardly in this area and with an hour to kill I decided it was a great time to sight-see for a while.

The pilot is a great "not so little" pub in Yorkville. For being in the Yorkville area it's not too hard on your wallet and still serves up decent food and drink.

I've been here mainly for the their rooftop patio when it's nice outside and it is…More »

I won free tickets to watch a matinee taping of "The Debators" and not being a big CBC radio person I was not really sure what to expect. One thing I wasn't expecting was to be there for 3 whole hours. Now that might be a big downer in most cases but…More »

I give this place props for speedy cheap food and friendly charming staff, but it's nothing but extra greasy hakka food, if I got very drunk in Brampton and if this place was open at 4am I would consider coming in here again.  We had rice, noodle, 2…More »

I came in here for dinner with a group of around 6 and the only reason we chose Dazzling was because we already had a pricey night planned and were looking for a nearby cheap restaurant and Dazzling ended up being that option. By cheap I mean it's…More »

I'm not one for ordering pizza all the time, but at work in Brampton this location is a big hit amongst us, we widely believe that Pizza Depot's in Brampton have an edge over other locations, but it's obvious I will never know that for sure.

I'm sure I'm not alone in Toronto Yelp when I say that I came in here waiting for our Snakes and Lattes table to open up. It's the closest pub to the boardgames cafe and for that itself I'm grateful for it's existence.
