a menu for a restaurant on a wooden table
Will T.

A cozy, hip bar and fried chicken place on Dundas and Ossington, just a block west of Ossington. The fried chicken was only OK, the skin was crispy but lacked flavour or spices. (Honestly, I think Bar Fancy's fried chicken is far superior!) As a snack, I recommend getting 2 pieces of chicken, $4 for white meat and $3 for dark. The venue is nice, and it's good for groups of up to maybe 6-8 max, but it's more for groups of 2. The bar is long and the place is darker than a cave. The drinks were icy cold and service was slow with maybe a hint of pretentiousness. I agree with the other reviews about it being quiet at times. We were here on a Friday night at around 8 pm and it was not crazy busy, but not graveyard dead. This could be a nice place for a pre-drink before pub crawling along Dundas West. Pro tip: Don't come hungry as the fried chicken takes at least 20 minutes to make. Pro tip 2: No debit. Cash or credit.

A little update is in order: The food is no longer provided by Luther's Fried Chicken, it's now a cute little bao counter. I did not taste it, as I was only there for a cheeky caesar with my fam. I was delicious, and I continue to really enjoy their patio.

A beautiful little bar which I believe is an extension of The Beaconsfield -- a few of the bartenders from the Beacs seem to have located to this popular Dundas location. And so far the overall vibe is similar between the two establishments. The two things I like about Churchill is the location (Dundas is very accessible to me with a few great bars in the area) and the layout/atmosphere. The bar is large but away from the door with plenty of space around it to prevent the ever-annoying bottlenecking. The chalkboards surrounding the place are carefully scripted and look fantastic. The lighting makes the place seem golden and exposed brick never looks bad. I've not ate here but might in the spring/summer months. The venue does have a patio so I think Churchill might explode in popularity once they crack it open. Stay tuned...

Mighty dumplings and my lady's drink which was featured that night called "Texts from your ex" which had "Drake's tears" as an ingredient

This is also a review for the new popup restaurant currently residing in Churchill - "The Almighty Bao" Came across the almighty bao and it's review on another site one day (don't remember where exactly) and instantly I was curious. I love bao's and haven't had a great one in quite a while, and the fact that this was a popup located within a bar was great. The fact that they were also playing the Raptors playoff game (Game 6 - smh at that game), was even better! Got to the bar around 7pm and slightly hungry after walking around the Ossington strip for a bit and it was fairly empty at the time. I assume people were making their way to more spacious/bigger name bars with larger TV's at the time due to the game though. Churchill has a single TV which is at the bar but I wouldn't say Churchill is a sports event type of bar, if that makes sense? Servers were very attentive however and attended to my table fairly quickly. The almighty bao, once you walk inside Churchill, is literally a hole in the wall of the bar. Manned by at the time what seemed like two men, I was slightly worried that once the bar got more packed that service would slow down for the food, but I was happily surprised that food was still served quickly. We ordered a 5piece of the Mighty Dumplings, a California Club Bao, a Pork Belly bao and finally a Fried "Fried Rice" ball. Each dish was tasty and delicious, with the California club and the dumplings being the standouts! The baos are almost the size of a burger at a fast food joint, which is a great size imo, and paired with the dumplings, I definitely left satisfied with my choices that night. Will definitely be back to check the place out again, regardless if Almighty Bao becomes a permanent establishment or if a new business takes its place.

the patio is nice, drinks are decently priced but the bartender was SO horribly rude and disrespectful. It's a total shame.

I came here for dinner with a few friends, and we ordered a few appetizers, pastas, and pizzas to…read moreshare. It's a really cute spot and the service was decent. I would not hesitate to come back, but there are some things I would definitely not order again. Not order again: - mozzarella sticks - these were not cheesy, fresh, or flavourful,huge disappointment - prosciutto and zeppole - prosciutto were not very fresh or thinly sliced, weirdly presented with the zeppole on the side Will definitely order again: - heroic dose pasta - the pasta was so fresh, great sauce and plenty of mushrooms (my favourite dish) - NYC spicy rigatoni - really good flavours and the pasta texture was perfect (also homemade) - Caesar salad - so creamy and I think they make the sauce in house bc I tasted a hint of the anchovy umami flavour The pesto pasta was pretty good too. And so were all the pizzas. I can't comment much on the pizzas because I was heavily focused on their homemade pasta. Everyone enjoyed the pizzas though. The only things that was bad were the two appetizers we got. They also offer an extensive list of drinks - beer, wine, cocktails, mocktails. I really like this spot and will definitely be back!

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.

The Bovine is a fantastic place that is the same today as it was decades ago. not only that, but it…read moreis also one of the cheapest pints that you can find. Now, are the taps dry? Maybe. 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.
