There wasn't any food here, too bad. ::::bathroom alert:: Pleased that the bathroom was clean. See myself coming here in the summer months and it isnt far from the trainstation. Too bad they didnt have a pool table at this location! They also let you play your own music too! I love that too.

I did not really like this bar. I came here for Monday Night Darts, and even though I had fun with…read moremy friends, I was not impressed with the bar itself at all. When I walked in, the bartender was conversing with a woman at the end of the bar, and it wasn't until about five (5) minutes after I sat down that she asked me what I wanted to drink. Sadly, this would remain a theme throughout the night. Every time one of my friends or I wanted a drink, we had to interrupt the bartender from her conversation with one of the patrons, and getting any kind of drink took a few minutes and was always a chore. This bar is called "The Local Bar," and it definitely lived up to that name... just not in a good way. I really don't like saying things like this about people, but another patron walked in, and it was clear that he was a regular, as he knew the bartender by name, as well as some of the other patrons. Well, this patron was so loud and obnoxious that I had to put my headphones on. Who wants to go to a bar and wear headphones? Not me. But he was so unbelievably annoying that I had to do it. In addition, somebody brought their dog into the bar, and while I love dogs, this one kept barking, and every time it did so it would startle somebody in the bar. I understand bringing your dog if they're well-behaved, but if they're not, you shouldn't expect everybody else to put up with that. With that being said, the bar did have a great darts set-up, and a really cool outdoor patio. I'll probably be back for another darts night, but other than that, I won't be coming back, and wouldn't really recommend it.

Was looking for a good burger this night and with a little search a place called Wolf's Lair popped…read moreup. It's a pretty nice sports bar with large TV screens throughout the place so will definitely be on my list of places to hit up to watch a few games! Overall food and service was on point, but also it was a random weeknight where there wasn't a crowd. Either way, recommend this bar if you're looking to grab a bite or watch a game! Classic Waygu Burger - 4/5 Great tasting and juicy burger, but one thing I wish was included was a side of fries at bare minimum. Cook of the meat was on point Disco Fries - 5/5 - Think of it as poutine but with mozzarella instead. Great side dish to a burger

What to make of this place?…read more When we visited in September (at that time), a wanna-be sports bar had just taken over the Greek taverna Blue Sea Taverna (before that, two iterations of Akrotiri). Both Greek tavernas had failed or gone out of business. So we were curious to see what changes had been made. When we entered, we were initially confused because the seating, especially the lounge seating, did not create a sports bar vibe. Even adding a bunch of TVs did not give us that feel either. Instead, our initial impression was that they were trying to convert an old Greek taverna into a gastropub, similar to other well-known ones in the area. And I should also add we had not been following the local news about the controversy regarding their name association with a World War II fortified bunker that was blown up at the end of the Second World War, and only read about the controversy over their name after we left, and on social media. Apparently, the owner(s) were most likely unaware of its historical context when naming their establishment. So we did not factor that into this review. Upon entering the Wolf's Lair, the seating was that of a modified Mediterranean restaurant. We chose the comfy seating looking out towards 29th Street and 30th Avenue. It had been raining heavily, and so we were just glad to be inside. Because our initial impression was that we were in a Mediterranean gastropub, we ordered lamb chops with lemon potatoes. The waiter, who may have been one of the owners, informed us that this vegetable was not on the menu; however, when our chops arrived, as you can see from the photos, we were indeed served lemon potatoes. We got what we ordered, which made us happy, and the chops were cooked to perfection. As we usually do not drink alcohol, beverages were not factored into our review. However, there was one thing we found a little strange and creepy. When we left, one of the employees, presumably an owner, insisted on coming out to help take photos. This was a little off-putting. Nevertheless, we got some good shots. In writing this review, we spent a lot of time deliberating our experience at the Wolf's Lair. We focused on the restaurant, service, food quality, and atmosphere. While the overall experience was excellent, we did not find Wolf's Lair to have a sports-bar atmosphere, but rather a family-dining atmosphere. On the day we visited, there was hardly any action at the bar, and most of us seated were into the food, if nothing else, with one family having a birthday party for one of their children. Overall, we had a good experience. Whether we come back to see if the Wolf's Lair becomes an actual sports bar, well, that's another matter.

There were multiple tables with cakes, but somehow our table was the only one charged. I went and asked the other tables. Definitely not coming back to celebrate anything here. Also, I rarely give 1 stars, but this experience was ridiculous. Our friend brought her own knife, plates and napkins. She even cut the cake on her own, but we're expected to pay per slice?!

Someone mentioned absinthe, or maybe it was just the gloom making things warp at the edges, the kind of green-tinted haze that brings the hallucinations on if you stay too long. But we aren't leaving yet. We throw back the shots, take a pull of the beer, and let the room buzz around us. It's a good night. A rare one.
