    Boooooooooooze!
    Demitri H.

    I've been to Texas and this place is the real deal. Quality dry rub ribs, brisket and pulled pork for a fair price. Beers are plenty with some interesting options to boot. Whiskey fans will rejoice, there's a big selection to be had. It may not look like much, but trust me when I say come on down 'y'all and have a slice of Texas... Even if it is in the middle of a depressingly frigid Canadian winter!

    Came here as Part 2 of our bar-hop night. I've passed this place so many time, only to wish I could try it out. Finally! my objective paid off. AAA Bar has a dark, yet cozy, funky, dive bar-feeling.....which I actually liked. It has a local-feel. It's so chilled out, non-pretentious and this place has character. Their menus are slips of note pad paper and their service is decent! The food from what I've seen is hands-down good! especially their BBQ. With a glass of house beer, we ordered their plate of nachos, which you can't go wrong with. Their prices are reasonable and portions are huge which makes this place a hidden gem that's away from the hustle and bustle of the entertainment district. I'll be back soon!

    Nice view out the front window looking out at St.James park. Casual and low key bar. Lots of character and just easy going. Don't know if there's a good menu but definitely lots to drink!

    Chicken on Waffles
    Jennifer C.

    This place is a hipster gem! Don't get me wrong I'm not a hipster and I like it, we had a couple of whiskey's and ribs and I had the southern chicken on waffle and even though I never heard of this combination before it was very tasty and the food arrived pretty fast! We stayed and the counter because it was Friday or Thursday night I believe and every other spot was packed! It is absolutely a must try because everybody I know love this place, we went after work so we were extremely tired and wanted to hang out a bit and just relax. The atmosphere is energetic and the owners are friendly and nice. It is also a few steps away from our favourite salon, Tony Shamas, so from now on every time we will get out our (me and my boyfriend) our hair appointment we will definitely come here to have a drink and try some new food. They have a big selection of beers so there is plenty of choice even if you are a bit picky.

    Chicken & waffles takeout (gravy & syrup not pictured)

    Got chicken & waffles for takeout, and it was decent! Atop the waffle was were pieces of a crispy-skinned, moist and tender, drum and thigh. There were large containers of syrup and gravy on the side which had a generous portions of the condiments, which I totally appreciated. Not sure what the experience is like actually dining inside the restaurant, but I wouldn't mind picking up a meal or two when I happen to be in the neighbourhood.

    We decided to try this place after months of joking about going there for $3 tequila shots. Once entering the bar I had to check Yelp to make sure it was okay to order food. On other user recommendations we ordered the dry beef ribs and nachos. Both were excellent and we were not disappointed. Service was attentive and drinks came quickly. It was a little noisy but to be expected for a Friday night. Great experience !

    Fish tacos
    Monique G.

    Okay food with great service. They don't take reservations but Raquel was amazing at helping me try and some space for my boyfriends surprise party of 8. On a Friday night. After a huge hockey crowd. I couldn't have thanked the staff enough. You can't go wrong with $3.00 tequila shots. They don't offer salt or lemon so buck up! Tequila was smooth, no burning after taste. Despite the packed house, we received our food promptly with the brisket and dry ribs taking a little longer. The fish tacos were the best dish of the night. I didn't mind the chicken and waffles but I feel that there may be better in the city. A characteristic spot in the heart of St. Lawrence market filled with a wide range of people- from young financiers to retired folk, this is a hidden gem that makes you feel like you're in another city.

    Beef nachos

    I visited this Southern style bbq joint on a Friday night with a few friends. The atmosphere is loud and boisterous - I'm told it was quieter than normal due to the long weekend. It's a causal dining venue with good southern style food. We tried a few items - the ribs, fried chicken & waffles, wings, beef nachos, Mac & cheese, and coleslaw. My fav would be the chicken wings, the ribs and the nachos (perfect cheese to chip ratio, need I say more?). They also had $5 pints of beer so how can you go wrong. The place is very loud so if you're looking for a quiet night or going on a date it may not be the best place for you.

    Goose island
    Irene T.

    Came by Thursday evenings with a few friends to grab a beer and a bite. There were 5 of us and we sat at the bar. Waitress came to greet us right away and we ordered our drinks. I got the Goose Island which was perfect because it wasn't hoppy at all and went down smoothly. Their selection of beer was very small and they didn't have any beer on nitro. I got the chicken and waffle which I really enjoyed and they gave us 4 different hot sauce to go with our meal (thank you) and he got the beef brisket - it was good but it was literally a few slices of cold beef brisket and two slices of white bread on the side. It looked like cafeteria lunch - not so appealing. I would come back to try their nachos because I saw someone else eat them and they looked delicious.

    A classic Punk / Rock n Roll Bar in Toronto CA. Basically the CBGB's of that scene…read more It's been around since the early 1990's and is exactly what a spot like this should be. Very nondescript outside facade - no sign telling you what it is other than a small "BSC" (for Bovine Sex Club) painted near the door. Hard to miss though as the exterior is made up a punk rock style sculpture of rusted bikes & other assorted ephemera. The interior is similar, visually. Great sound system & chill vibes pervade throughout. Weirdly the stage is right in the entrance of the club, on your left, with a long bar along the right side, heading back. Great, crowd, great location in cool area with lots of restaurants & plenty of parking - both on the street up to 2 hours & extended parking for a flat-rate of CA$20 (~$14 USD) from 6:00pm until the next morning, just 2 blacks away.

Are the beer cans running out? It's possible. But, it's a dive in the way of the old dives. And the acoustics for bands are... not great. But they are a sign of what once was. Without attempting to try to present a front of a time long gone, The Bovine simply exists today as it once did in that time long ago, before Smokes stickers, before iPhones, back when people would just go to a bar to talk with those they didn't know the morning prior. Bring cash though, unless you're looking to make some big orders, because credit card is a minimum fifty-dollar spend.

This man is a treasure--a multitalented musician who plays in many bands including The Lemon Bucket Orkestra. In season, you can catch Michael playing trumpet and singing with a jazz band on the back patio on Saturday evenings (5-8pm). The patio, accessible via an alleyway off Rolyat Street, feels like one of this neighbourhood's best kept secrets. Such a fun, chill vibe back there. Perhaps these Saturday shows will eventually move back inside, where they were held in the beforetimes, when the band sat cheek by jowl with customers in one of the city's most "intimate" performance venues. But whether Michael is performing behind the bar or on the back patio, the man is a marvel of multitasking. He'll perform part of a tune, set the trumpet down as the band plays on, take people's orders, prepare and serve drinks, and then pick up the trumpet and continue the song. So freaking cool. He also hosts a unique music listening event on Monday nights called Decide on the B-Side...don't forget to bring your favourite vinyl. As for the drinks, nothing fancy here, just a decent beer list and hard booze, mostly. But as described above, this bar is so much more. It's chock full of fun and character.

    The owner was horribly mean to my friend. Do not go here if you aren't in the mood to be yelled at…read moreand physically intimidated by the crotchety old owner who polices everything that is said in the bar. Especially if you are a woman.
