Now, I ask you, how can you not love a bar that actually accepts Canadian Tire money?

How can you not love a bar whose staff actually got pissed off when the place received a great review in trendy Toronto Life magazine because they were afraid the…More »

For a dude who loves to see his partner clad in a sassy, comfortable,
deliciously alternative allure, I can't imagine a better place to have
been shoppin' with my new grrlfriend on our first date.

Not only did I get to check out her taste in clothes,…More »

One of the most charming, elegant, and incredibly edibly Queen West bastions of yumminess, I would lay prostate on the pavement for one of their freshly baked butter croissants and a cup of their amazing Lavazza coffee.  I would gladly be up in the…More »

If you treasure your animals as much as I do, the last heartache you ever want to face is to see them treated by uncaring savages.  I've been there, and for me, these guys were anything but.

Truly compassionate, truly professional, truly…More »

No, we didn't have a meal there.  Nor did we stay in the hotel itself.  Yes, it's very lovely and very popular and very trendy and the band we saw there was very good.

But, um.  I have to tell you:   ... Worst. Martinis. Ever.  I mean, so weak that at…More »

If you don't mind your food to be uninspired and greasy, your beer of the flattest consistency, and prepared by a crotchety, shouting slavedriver and served by hired-for-eye-candy, usually only-moderately-skilled servers, this is the dive for you.

Seduction is so much more fun (and successful) when chocolate is involved. If Godiva made cakes, they would be Dufflet's.  'Nuff said.

This isn't a review.  It's a eulogy.

I'm heartbroken to have seen that Black Dog is closing, or has closed.  It's one of my two favourite independent businesses (the other being Red Rocket Coffee on Queen) in all of Toronto that seem to have shut its…More »
