Here's a list of public houses in the city where I am known to imbibe.

Canada
(647) 347-2712

Categories: Pubs, Sports Bars

Neighbourhood: Downtown Core

Update - 1/19/2010

I returned and for brunch no less. Their full english breakfast is stellar and complete with beans, sausage, bacon, eggs your way, and something called fried bread. Avoid this bread lest you prefer your toast predipped in vegetable oil. Everything…More »

Impressive gastropub on Elm St. For starters, the patio is top-drawer. They happily accomodated… Read more »

Canada
(416) 531-1311

Categories: Irish, Pubs

Neighbourhood: High Park

9/10/2010

Bit of an underwhelming experience at Whelan's Gate. We grabbed a table in the small room upstairs, where we sat ignored for 15 minutes. I eventually just ordered some food from the waitress at the bar. (I had to stand up, the indignity!) The BBQ…More »

Canada
(416) 964-2708

Category: Pubs

Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core

12/15/2009

Magical spot in the Village. The food (brunch, lunch, dinner) is great, the service is even better, and the drink selection is top drawer. They have an eclectic assortment of martinis and mixed drinks with names like "My Little Pony" and "Hot Tranny…More »

Canada
(416) 598-4455

Categories: British, Pubs

Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core

1/22/2010

Our hosted seated us that night, failing to let anyone else know of our existence. Perhaps it was a secret. For half an hour my date and I played the "do you think he knows we're here?" game, as the server whizzed by us at light speed. Eventually we…More »

5. Sin & Redemption

126 McCaul St
Toronto, ON M5T 1W2
Canada
(416) 640-9197

Category: Pubs

Neighbourhood: Downtown Core

4/20/2009 First to Review

Sin and Redemption is the upscale sister of the Village Idiot Pub. Located right next door, S and R offers a just as impressive beer selection with a focus on imports. Food attempts to be upscale but sadly disappoints. Lots of seating and a very…More »

6. Imperial Pub

58 Dundas St E

Canada
(416) 977-4667

Categories: Pubs, Dive Bars

Neighbourhoods: Ryerson, Downtown Core

11/25/2009 ROTD 5/11/2010

Let me describe this tri-partite debacle of a pub. First, is the horseshoe-shaped main floor: seemingly a hangout for regulars and roustabouts. Avoid this place. Yours truly chills on the second floor where one can find couches, books and hipsters in…More »

7. Dominion On Queen Restaurant Bar & Lounge

500 Queen St E
Toronto, ON M5A 1T7
Canada
(416) 368-6893

Categories: Lounges, Restaurants

Neighbourhood: Corktown

4/19/2009

Respectable east end spot with daily specials and quick service. They also offer live music and comedy nights, but I think the place is better suited for drinks and food. The east-facing patio is small, but a good place to booze after work in the…More »

Category: Pubs

Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core

12/12/2010

Walked into the F&F one cold evening with Bryan G and his partner Geoff F. Upon entering, I was immediately taken by a) their incredible warmth (the pub's not Bryan and Geoff) and b) the aroma of something we could not define. Was it like the inside…More »

Categories: Pubs, Restaurants

Neighbourhoods: Yonge and St. Clair, Deer Park

4/9/2011

Scallywags is AAAAIGHT. I've been here a few times now for the infamous Yelp Board Game Events and they've always accomodated us graciously as we while away the evening surrounded by Scrabble, or Scattergories or Zombie Fluxx. (You must play the…More »

Brought to you by the same team that owns Sin and Redemption and the Village Idiot is the Town Crier Pub at John and Adelaide. Having assumed and renovated the spot that once housed the Fat Belgian, the TCP is much like her sisters on McCaul: a cozy…More »

I stopped at the Bishop and the Belcher for a patio pint on one of the first warm days of the summer[*]. Armed with a Strongbow, it was the perfect antidote to the mid-week blahs. The south-facing patio gets a lot of sun and there is plenty of…More »
