Oh Sneak's, my trusty and reliable old pal!

Every mischief-making night out should conclude with a default visit to Sneaky Dee's, and it usually does. There really isn't anything not to love about this place.

The server turnover is low - you'll always…More »

Canada

Categories: Dive Bars, Thai

4.0 star rating
  3/23/2009

As other reviewers have said, this is a student hotspot (it's right in The Annex) and it's clearly very popular because it's always teeming with people!! Yes, the cleanliness of the place sometimes leaves a bit to be desired and the service can be…More »

4 stars go to my favourite plaided out ginger chef Bryan in the kitchen for busting out an off-menu french toast with homefries at midnight on a Friday night at my special request. That seriously made my night, and made up for the near death…More »

    I finally got a chance to check out Ciro's heated back patio and it is indeed quite badass. Some… Read more »

The fact that Sweaty Betty's has three separate areas is actually news to me, because every time I've gone it's been SO PACKED I could nary elbow my way towards the bar without getting a dose of k-os' tequila breath or Stefan Brogren's shiny scalp.…More »

Categories: Dive Bars, Pubs, Restaurants

Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Palmerston, Bickford Park

3.0 star rating
  Update - 1/29/2010

I've discovered the secret to Ted's: come before 11 if you're meeting friends for conversation! 11pm and onwards are the witching hours, when the volume gets cranked and unpopular music starts playing. Tonight (pre-11pm) we got to listen to The…More »

    Like everyone else who's reviewed Ted's, I agree that the music is unspeakably loud. This is NOT the… Read more »

2.0 star rating

"Kind of a weird bar" is about right. They charge Barchef prices for their alcohol yet have the decor and ambiance of a brothel.

$10 for a glass of Pinot Grigio. $6 for a bottle of beer. $7 for draft.

Think highway side tavern or motel bar - don't…More »

Category: Dive Bars

Neighbourhood: The Danforth

4.0 star rating

OK, so now that I know better than to ever order the food here, I'd recommend it for all beer lovers. On the first Sunday of every month they host a Beer 101 course next door at The One In The Only. Come for a drink on the bar side and you just might…More »
