This place rocks.  It used to be a library on the 2nd floor, hence all the books.

- the bartenders are friendly

- the area in the back with the leather couches and fireplace is especially cozy

- the upstairs patio is nice and has a good view (and you…More »

If you're on the outside peering in and it looks too busy, don't fear!

This place extends back pretty far, and you'll find 2-3 different rooms with comfy couches and seating awaiting your arrival (if it's not reserved....this space is perfect for…More »

Kiss me, I'm wasted. (And part Irish...)

A laid-back Irish pub in the heart of Yorkville, without all the hoity-toity clientele. This is a great place to go after work with your buddies.  

Wings are just $3.50 a pound all day Monday and everyday 4-8.…More »

Came here last night for the Hockey Game and it actually wasn't bad (talking about the restaurant... the hockey game is another story...)  The Waitress we had was nice and attentive,  even though it was packed.

I do appreciate their specials.  Drink…More »

Toby's used to be just at Yonge and Bloor until I think that big fire wiped it out.  Any-who, they're right at College and Bathurst now, competing with solid places like Sneaky Dee's, Nirvana, hell, even Mars Foods (don't know if they're licensed…More »

I try not to write reviews about places that have been reviewed a lot, but I must yelp this place based on my most recent visit there.

Love their licensed patio in the College Park Courtyard!  Worth eating their over-priced, mediocre food for a seat on the patio.

Gabby's has decent food and an awesome patio.  Those are probably the only 2 reasons this place is still in existence!  

I don't know what Chris P is talking about, but the "customer service" here is TERRIBLE.  Every time I go there, I feel like the…More »

I've only been here for lunch but I don't mind this place.  Pretty good menu offerings at decent prices.  I get take-out occasionally too.  I really like their fries, well done and so crispy.  Their honey mustard balsamic dressing is also really good…More »

I don't know why I came back here for a THIRD time...

The hostesses/waitresses are stuck up bitches, the food is overpriced and mediocre, wait times are ridiculous on Friday/Saturday nights, and I'm just over it.

I might come back if I had to just for…More »

I'm surprised to see the amount of 2 and 3 stars.  Not to say that it wasn't a justified score, but I've been eating at the Standard for almost 15 years and am happy with the food and service there.  Granted, some of the waitresses there are not the…More »

**** 4 stars for Service and Chicken wings****

Back when I ate meat, I used to love the cheap chicken wing nights (monday, tuesday, and thursdays after 7 I think?).  You can get them breaded or non-breaded and they have lots of sauces to choose from.…More »

Always under-staffed.  You go for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon: under-staffed.  After-work drinks on a Friday evening: under-staffed.

Pretty standard pub fare.  They don't offer a food or drink special for each day of the week*, but they do have $4…More »
