This place is an institution. Maybe it's the nostalgia, but I've been coming here since I was…read moreyoung enough to be staying way later than I should. If you're a snooker player there's only so many options available in the city. There used to be a few more in the area. There's more "stuff" to do now here than back in the day when it was cigarette filled and you'd come out like smelling like you'd smoked ten packs. It used to feel like a high end place you'd go to chill, but time has kept it mostly the same over the decades. It's not the 3rd home it used to be for us, but still good memories.

The place did manage to fit over 75 people; however, the place isn't big and I did feel that it is a bit crammed. It does have three floors. The basement is where the washrooms are located. At the back of the bar are two bocce lanes. Upstairs there is a photo booth and a small sitting area. The building itself like many downtown buildings in Toronto is very narrow. Note that no food is being served here. Only drinks/ alcohol. I guess it is a great place to grab a drink or just to listen to music or hang out with friends. Yes they do play music here and have a dj area setup for it. In front of the entrance there is a bouncer watching to make sure everything is ok.

Ten dollars a person to get in was an incredible deal for the amount of value that it offered. At…read morefirst I thought I might be there for an hour, but after thinking "one more game" I ended up there for another three and a half hours. I love skee-ball, so that was one thing, but the video-arcade version of beer pong was not something I was expecting. The pinball games ranging from the old school cog version, to the 80s version where computers started to get involved, to the modern ones made just this year showcased a real range. What was incredibly exciting was being able to play a number of Mario Kart arcade game races, that I see for three or four dollars a race at other arcades. Couple that with the incredible food options (Deep fried mac and cheese wedges, deep fried mars bars, deep fried... everything!) and at prices that have you snacking and grazing through the whole thing. It's a great place for kids, too. The only thing is kids need to be out by 8pm. But, there's a lot to do before then.

There is a photo booth, a bar on each level and clean restrooms on the 2nd floor (not accessible tho). Pinball games, all the gaming consoles you could want, and guitar hero play-off's. What's there not to love?! We had a few drinks which were decently priced with sufficient strength. There are thin console tables between games to set your drinks on. Service was chill as well. The place is clean, hand sanitizers spread throughout and not a sticky surface in sight. Beats playing in your mom's basement...lol!

Due to our time availability we ended not doing the unlimited hours, instead we just played for two hours. The regular price is $18+taxes per hour. They also charge a $3 fee if you don't have their membership which is a bit of a downside. This place is very spacious with many tables. If you're hungry they also have food and drinks. I'll definitely be back for their promo pricing if they continue with it as I find it a great deal! It's a great place to relax and spend time with friends.

Love Ted's! Been coming here for years. Love a bar with a pinball table and chill bartenders who…read moreare all really easy to chat with. However, watch out for the dude who lives in one of the apartments near there. White, 5'4ish, bald, insecure a-hole. Locked my bike to the outside of a stairwell in the back alley to go have a drink on the patio and he showed up to the patio about a half later and demanded that "whoever locked their bike" there move it. The bike was in no way impeding access to the stairs, as it was locked to the outside, but being the non confrontational person I am, moved it and asked if he was happy about it (because the threatened damage to my bike if I didn't). He then replied with a threat to kill me, so fun times..... Just a heads up to any women who decide to go to Ted's, this person is clearly unhinged and makes me a bit nervous to return.

I almost ALWAYS knock something over at Ted's (a candle, a lit candle, a beer, your beer, my beer,…read morea chair etc...) and no one seems to care... 4 stars; I love this place (but it's filthy so I can't bring myself to give it 5 even though I want to). ________________________________ On the Spiderman Pinball Machine... One time, Mike S and I made elaborate plans for an amazing trip to Little Italy. We planned to eat Wings at Duff's, then go to Soundscapes then go to Ted's and play pinball. We were so excited about pinball, we (and by "we" I probably mean "I") told the waitress about all of our plans and invited her. She seemed interested. We walked across the street to Ted's while discussing the beer options and deciding to get Tankhouse; we were the only people in the building other than the guy who works there and he looked up and greeted us (angrily) with: "we're out of Tankhouse and pinball is broken." It was still a great night. ________________________________ On the beer prices... Once they had Duggan's no.9 on tap. It's a much higher alcohol % than most draught beers and when you buy it in bottles it's really expensive (by volume) because they're small bottles. We got a pitcher and the bartender charged us $19 for it, then told us that it should be $21 and she wouldn't charge us the difference this time. I was like, uhh, thanks, our transaction is already closed, but... Then we got pints of Duggans after we drank the pitcher. We drank too many Duggan's. I think we ate wings at Duff's that night too, and I might have lost my headphones. They were shure se210s - if you find them at Ted's, PM me, I want them back. Anyways, beer isn't really that cheap here - it's $17 for a regular pitcher and $6 or $7 for a pint. It's actually much too expensive for how shitty the place is. (I don't really care though.) ________________________________ Would you ever eat food here? Did you know they have/serve food? It's kind of random. Once, Adeel O. and I were here after work while he was trying to get away from his Mom who was visiting from Pakistan and I was having a beer before a date at Negroni. He wanted to eat so he asked Ted's if they have food. The girl said yes but she wasn't sure what they had because her co-worker hadn't gotten back from the grocery store with the evening's offerings yet. She returned and made him an assorted sub on a hoagie. You can bring in pizza and burritos from next door. ________________________________ On table service... They sometimes/usually have table service! Someone comes by and actually takes your order and brings you a beer! I love this aspect of Teds. I think they probably do this because a. they don't have enough glasses and b. it moves WAY more beer. ________________________________ On the restrooms... The restrooms here are disgusting, but they are not as bad as Toronado(http://www.yelp.com/biz/toronado-san-francisco). The women's room always has one stall out of order (occasionally the broken one rotates) and the men's room reeks out into the hallway (oh and there is no door). I'm just kind of used to it and I don't think the ladies room is as bad as the other reviews here lead you to believe. Or I have been desensitized because of recent trips to even divier beer bars. There is almost always soap and paper towels. ________________________________ There is a pool table here... There is a pool table here that I love. You can only play it between 7 and 10 for the most part because the bar fills up between 10 and 11 pretty much every night. Playing pool is VERY frustrating because 2 of the 4 walls are too close to the table for you use the cue parallel to the table and the other two of four sides are too close to tables that have lit candles delicately balanced in empty wine bottles on them. I frequently knock over at least one lit candle during a game. Pool is $2 and there is no loonie machine, you have to get change from the bar but they're always happy to hook you up. The pool table itself is in good condition and they have recently gotten new cues and replaced some of the balls. ________________________________ Overall, I love Ted's... - The bartender gave me 2 free beers on my birthday last week - I once got into a conversation about First Nation's resource rights (which made me late for the movie Gasland) - I think pinball is fixed (but some of the lights still don't light up on the front)

Upon arrival, I found the facility very modern, clean and organized. They had several tables in the middle for dine-in. The axe throwing cages were large, each with 2 lanes and firm fence all around. It was easy go in and out of the lane and interact with friends. There also had several drinks and alcohol available at the bar/register counter. At the beginning a staff member briefed us the axe throwing process and assisted us with first few throws. Then we played about 6 rounds of games. The boards were in pretty bad condition, as they were being for a long time. Bullseye and other markings almost faded away. After that, we tried the daggers for few rounds. None of us could really stick the daggers in the board. The cost came about $36 CAD per person for about 45 minutes. Overall we had a good fun time. They staff were friendly and helpful.

Although they have food options available, I was amazed to find out that I was able to order in the food of my choice (see review for Bosphorus). BATL set up our area for our spread and provided us with plates and utensils. Upon arrival, we were provided with comprehensive instructions on how to throw by our amazing instructor, Angel. Her enthusiasm was next level and right from the start, she had the team engaged and excited. The couple of hours we had booked flew bye and everyone had a great time. I would definitely recommend booking them for any type of event.
