Love coming here before any concert at History because it’s so close. I usually only order drinks but they had a food pop up called Sweet Billy Ray’s, it was the best salsa i’ve ever had. The brisket mac slider was also so good shoutout to our server for recommending us to try it. Great service and food will be coming back!

One of my favourite bars in Leslieville. Cozy, little bar with good vibes.

Fantastic little bar, always great service. Have been coming here since it opened and still my favourite place to go. Bartenders actually pay attention to you and are happy to serve. Action movies or sitcoms are usually playing with a range of music. It's always a good time.

Great bar with an ode to The Shining through the year round Xmas lights and the floor to ceiling gallery walls filled with photos of scenes from the movie and the actors. Great staff, daily drink deals - loyal locals for a reason! No food except on football Sundays (this is a Bills bar! )

Discovered this place by accident one night and omg it was the best! Super cozy bar feel that I've been looking for. The Christmas lights aren't up year round as far as I know, (we were there in November) but I wish they were! Such a great atmosphere to grab a few drinks and hangout.

Great local! Gem of Leslieville. Owner is super cool and they have a wide range of beers and cocktails to choose from. Plus!... They deliver local drinks kits during covid with everything you need to make classic cocktails. Love this place.

Walked in for a few Monday night caps. Greeted by Jeff the bartender. He served up some solid recommendations and clean glasses. Great Beach's area comfort spot.

Love this bar. This is a Shining themed bar which serves as our neighborhood dive bar. I am giving this a 5 star rating (similar to say my favorite high end bar/restaurant) because the judging criteria for a dive bar is different from a fine dining place. The atmosphere is chill, they have nice beers on tap and I like their Old Fashioned. Friendly bartender, chill crowd and a cosy atmosphere ensures that I come here from time to time.
