I'm not sure why it looks like someone took a bite out of my pizza. But this was the Korean BBQ Pizza and it's a straight 9/10.

A great bar with fast service and incredible pizza. Thrown in some old-school arcades too. Any place with old school arcade cabinets and amazing food with no cover price, I'm sold.

We've walked by here about a thousand times and never gone in. But last night - in search of pizza (that wasn't Libretto) we dropped in for a pint and a pie. It was early enough on a Saturday night that there was plenty of seating options and no line at the back at the North of Brooklyn pizza place. So perfect for a drop by. Super impressed by what was on tap. A real range and any bar who carries anything from Halo gets extra marks. We had the Halo Wave IPA and it is tasty. The pie came out and we ate at the bar. We had the Killer Bee (sausage and peppers and a smidge of honey) the crust was superior. The pie was pretty soggy in the middle but we were so into the toppings that this detail mattered not to us. We folded it up and stuffed our faces. Get Well has a nice vibe. What they, here in Toronto, call a 'dive bar' but elsewhere might be just called a 'bar'. This might be going on the list of local favorites.

After reading about quirky/cool Get Well I was excited to make the pilgrimage on a recent trip to Toronto. We went quite early in the evening so there was no line which was great. We easily got to explore the space and check out the free old school arcade games. It was a fun throwback to check out Pac-Man and the other machines. I think the problem for me here was incorrect expectations. From reading about Get Well it sounded like they were supposed to have a bunch of local craft beers on tap. They did, but what we ordered was lackluster. I would never order the Rage & Love Margarita sour beer again. My coworker didn't particularly care for the wheat beer he got from Side Launch Brewing either. The bartenders were all more occupied in their own conversations to pay us much attention. We didn't really feel that welcome. If you're just going for a normal beer and a fun arcade game or then Get Well is fine. Don't expect any earth-shattering craft beers.

The Get Well bar is a hipster dive bar with cool drinks and retro arcade games in the back. Perfect when you need a drink after a long week and need to decompress by playing a bit of tetris, frogger, or pinball 'old school style (not played on your smartphone). By 8, the place was pretty busy. Almost all the tables were taken and so you'd be standing or hanging around at the back where the games are. There's a huge table there for your coats or drinks so feel free to drink and play. The bar is decorated with a golden phoenix and dragon (the ones you see at Chinese dim sum restaurants). FYI: the bird and dragon symbolizes marriage. Hmm, maybe you'll find the love of your life here! This place would be perfect for very large groups, say up to 30-40 group of friends, maybe even more. There's no table service so you'll have to order your drinks at the bar. Pro tip: North of Brooklyn Pizzeria inside. Pizza can be hit or miss. It's awesome when fresh!

Great variety on the Draught List. Best in the neighbourhood.

We came here in the early evening primarily to try the North of Brooklyn pizza. You order this from the pizza maestros in the back. They had slices ready to warm up, but we ordered a fresh, full pizza to share. It took about 15-20 minutes and the guy was nice enough to deliver it to us at the bar when it was ready. We chose the Killer Bee, with calabrese sausage, serrano peppers, pickled red onions and a drizzle of honey. Of course we had a beer while we waited - what a seriously impressive craft list here! I would have made a killer bee-line here earlier if I knew there was Halo on tap! And the raspberry saison from Great Lakes - so excellent to see this yummy stuff on draught in the city. This is a fun place to people-watch. It's a spacious bar with Christmas lights, old photos and posters, kitschy furniture. Plus a great big high-top bar to sit at. There's also Ms. Pac-Man which, understandably, is nearly always occupied. The pizza came on the 14" silver tray it was cooked on and a handful of brown paper towels. It was so hot (YES!) it was impossible to pick up at first (a bit soggy in the centre), but I could not wait to get in there and taste it at its mouth-burning best. We maneuvered a way of flopping the wet center back up onto the slice - without tools - and this worked. Killer Bee was KILLER YUMMEH! The only drawback was the challenge of eating something so hot without plates or utensils (but HOT will forever trump TOOLS). The bartender offered us paper plates when we were halfway through our last slice, so kind of useless at that point. But plates or no plates, I will definitely be back here for pizza and beer!

They constantly change up what's available. Anything is good!

Just go. It's fun and they sell thin crust pizza in the back. Drink, play arcade games and eat yummy pizza in this hole in the wall bar.

Funky little "semi-dive bar" atmosphere serving a pretty varied draft selection & home to a little hot spot pizza kitchen. Great music & along with a pretty nice "local" vibe. Would certainly consider this a new little "go-to" spot when visiting the city.

Get Well was the perfect happy hour dive bar which provided an excellent selection of craft beer, mixed drinks, and free arcade games. The bar is dimly lit which was a welcome escape from all of the summer walking we had been doing. Large bar area with nice staff and cozy couches around the video games. We were here earlier in the day so there weren't a ton of people, which is was great. Worth stopping by for a beer and a game. I hear their pizza is excellent as well!

This is what pizza does to even the most respectable of men. Just.Look.At.Him.
Tracey M.

This is a fun, cozy, friendly atmosphere. I blame this entirely on their arcade game selection. It's pretty hard not to find yourself reverting to child-like openness and playfulness towards strangers when you're playing vintage games. I mean for some of us it brings out a whole new level of psycho *cough* me *cough* but otherwise great way to slide up next to someone and strike up a conversation. "Oh, pardon me miss, but, you're really handling those pin balls well." "Why, thank you kind sir. My brother taught me how to bang them around just right." Also, the pizza is pretty awesome. Why don't all bars serve pizza? BECAUSE THEY DON'T GET ME. Maybe I should send around a memo? "Dear bars: Tracey likes pizza. Get.On.It." For $5 you can get a variety of ready-to-order delicious, Italian-style pizza. The kale & bacon is my fave. Their pepperoni is also quite good. Let's be real though: does it really matter what flavour you get? No, it doesn't. It's pizza when you're drunk and you don't even have to walk outside. It's great. Weirdly enough they don't keep Campari on hand.

Beer list. I'm having County Durham Blak Katt Stout.  They have a couple sours. They are MUST TRYs!

The best part about The Commie, aside from being one of the city's best dive bars, is Michael Louis…read moreJohnson, the musical barkeep. 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. Not a safe environment. Thought this place was meant to be open-minded and welcoming but apparently not.

Alexandra Park, Queen Street West

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.
