They have a great menu and I'm yet to find something that…More »

This pub reminds me of my favorite pub - an old Irish pub, in Brazil, run by an old Irishman. The guy in Brazil closed the pub back in 2004, sadly, and I was orphan. Then I moved to Canada and found Whelan's, which feels the same, with good prices…More »
