Celtic Irish Pub, located steps away from Davisville subway station, occupies the first floor of…read morethe same building as Nevizade (a Turkish restaurant that occupies the upper floor). They share the same kitchen (and perhaps owner too). When we got there around lunch time, Nevizade was still closed but the staff said that we could order from both menus. The interior is typical of that of an Irish pub, with Irish-themed decorations, big TV screens (playing football at that time), full bar section, a small stage (for live music / performances at night), and traditional Irish music playing in the background. The interior was quite spacious with plenty of tables and seatings available (both at the bar and dining area). We were there just a few days after Halloween, so they still had Halloween decorations up (spider webs, skeletons, etc.). I liked the festive Halloween feel. The menu was pretty good - salads, miso salmon bowl, and the typical bar fare (such as burgers and fish & chips). Food was decent (I had the Arugula Salad), and service was nice and friendly.

When you order a pint of Guinness you get closer to half a pint at $9. Probably the most expensive Guinness in town. There is a good reason the place is nearly empty when a big game is on. The good news is that you are guaranteed a seat in front of the TV!

Came here for steak fest in February and it did not disappoint…read more Ordered a variety of steaks from rib eye to porterhouse and each were delicious. We also had their onions rings which were some of the best I've ever had! Super crispy yet soft on the inside. The one dish that we had high expectations for but was disappointed were the duck fat potatoes, they were super hard and tasted very stale. Also had the chocolate guiness cake for dessert, it had a cream cheese type frosting and was a nice way to end the meal. It was very very very busy and even with a reservation on Saturday night we still had to wait. Service was great the entire service!

Thankfully, my girlfriend was able to take it back from her as the girl was about to leave the bar. However, a drunk guy that appeared to be with her, followed my girlfriend back into the bar, tried to get the coat back and then started an actually fist fight with her. They both fell to the ground before people jumped in and pulled him off of her. Neither security nor any staff of the bar asked to find out what happened or if she was ok. Then security grabbed her drink and told me we had to leave. I had simply been a bystander in all of this as I did not know what was happening until after it had happened. Security then grabbed my drink and wrestled it out of my hand and then manhandled me out of the bar. Despite asking if I could just get my coat, they refused and threw me out into the cold. My girlfriend luckily was still inside and grabbed my coat. I took photos of the security people and when we got home we called the police and filed a report of assault against the guy for hitting my girlfriend and the security for assaulting me. We had each paid $20 to get in about an hour prior to that and paid for our drinks that we were not allowed to finish. Neither of us was drunk nor did either of us start any altercation, yet we were told to leave, I was thrown out and to my knowledge, the person that started the fight was not. There was much fault to go around from the girl that tried to steal the coat, to the guy that assaulted my girlfriend, to the bar that over-served him, to the security thugs that victimized a neutral party and both the bar and security that failed to protect a woman who was the victim of assault and an attempted theft of her coat.

From the old school music, to the terrific 'Good Medicine' whiskey based cocktail, to the pleasant service from Briana. The menu and drink list which includes a nice wine list, great cocktails as well as a well curated list of beers, many of which are local. The prices were reasonable and certainly lower than at Gastro Pubs in the Toronto downtown core. A real pleasure however was the French Onion Soup, made in house by Chef James. It is based on bone broth, sweet onions, and finished with sherry. Topping this fab soup, He places a thick slice of dark rye bread (not industrial baked croutons) crowned with a swiss cheese, all baked to a gooey goodness. Without doubt this was the best onion soup I have ever experienced; balanced, deeply nourishing, perfect on a cold evening. The accompanying Desmoiselles Pinot Noir added to the dining pleasure. I will certainly be back again with friends. Thank you! Nancy G.

I remember when you had to go down some stairs to enter, but for quite a while they moved spaces. It's still a typical British inspired pub, but a gastropub. That is, bring lots of money. I managed to get a seat on the outdoor patio. Ordered a half pint and the chicken pot pie with mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables. I was really hungry, which the attached photo shows. The crust of the pie was a great texture, nice and chewy at the edge, nice and soft where it was covering the filling. The chicken and veggies inside were cooked perfectly, as were the grilled green beans and carrots. And the mashed potatoes were smooth, but also from real potatoes. And the light brown savory gravy on top of everything brought it all together. Service was efficient and pleasant. They really knew how to handle a busy night. I loved the patio, and the inside is typical gastropub, nice and cozy. Not a bad spot for a few drinks and a meal if you're in Cabbagetown!

In the heart of Leslieville, The Roy Public House earns its reputation as the quintessential…read moreneighbourhood Irish pub -- unpretentious in presentation yet quietly accomplished in all the ways that matter. The room carries the warmth of a well-worn local: intimate, convivial, and wholly without affectation. The kitchen turns out pub classics with commendable care. The wings arrive properly executed -- crisp of skin, generously portioned, and satisfying in the way that only a good pub wing can be. The poutine, a nod to its Canadian setting, holds its own alongside the more traditional offerings. Most notably, the house curry gravy -- offered as an accompaniment -- proves to be a genuine revelation: bright, tangy, and layered with spice in a manner that elevates what might otherwise be a familiar dish into something worth seeking out. While the traditionalist in me remains loyal to the classic cheese curd and plain gravy combination, the curry variant is an adventurous alternative I would wholeheartedly recommend to the curious diner. The draft selection is solid, the Guinness pulled with proper patience, and the service strikes that ideal pub balance of attentive without being overbearing. For those seeking an honest, soulful dining experience rooted in neighbourhood warmth rather than culinary theatre, The Roy delivers with quiet confidence.

He was very hesitant to serve me, looks me up and down... He made me pay before even receiving my drink. I asked for a Jameson neat.... He serves it to me in a shot glass. If you are a bartender that's something you should be knowledgeable about. This place is not welcoming at all.. and definitely wouldn't recommend l, consider or even try to come back. Especially when the bartender has hygiene issues. Also he tells everyone that comes in that he can make them whatever they like; which is not possible at all due to limited experience in bartending and limited supplies. In my past, I have experience in bartending/service industry. As I know what they go through with people I'm a really great tipper. But for something like this, just broke my heart. It's really not welcoming and such disappointment in today's society when it's your first time in Toronto.
