The interior and aesthetics insides were great; wonderful decor, perfect lighting and the music was great too. The drinks here are amazing - we got two hot n bothered bowls which were extremely tasty (and high in ABV so it got the job done haha). The paradise fries were also extremely tasty and well cooked. Overall, this place definitely met my expectations and is a super cute spot! Definitely will be coming back and trying the upstairs outdoor seating!

Last night we reserved for two specifically in the Tiki Room on their Yelp options. We confirmed the reservation multiple times over text and even messaged we were running a tad behind, when we arrived the hostess working took us to their new Triple Seven Lounge room which is also an option to book on Yelp. I explained we had booked the Tiki Bar, the Triple Seven Lounge was empty and not themed the same, the hostess pretty rudely told us that was all she could give us despite their being an empty table available in the Tiki Room. When we asked about sitting there we were told that they held that table because someone else has a reservation. I explained again that we had a reservation, in the Tiki Room, not the Triple Seven Lounge. The hostess refused to seat us, my partner spoke to a manager and made some progress, but then we were handed back off to the same hostess, who told me I was threatening her when I said that I would post a review detailing they didn't give us our allotted reservation. Very disappointing and impersonal service. We left immediately after being called threatening because we did not want to cause that hostess any harm or unnecessary distress, but will not be back. Careful booking here, they don't value advance reservations. Remove the option to select which room you're in if you're not going to keep to it.

Lovely first experience at the Shameful Tiki Room! We came…read morearound 5:30PM on a Wednesday and were the first customers of the night. The island vibes hit you immediately - this would be a great place for an intimate party. We ordered: - The Big Kahuna Burger: the pineapple was a welcome addition to this otherwise pretty standard burger. The crinkle fries were also a good texture. 8/10 - Popcorn Shrimp: saucy yet crispy, great choice for an app. 8/10 - Jackfruit & Spinach Dip: I think the jackfruit was in dried form sprinkled on top of the dip, and we honestly didn't taste the jackfruit at all. 6.5/10 And for drinks, I asked them to surprise me with a mocktail. I got a delicious slightly creamy fizzy banana coconut drink. The bartender mentioned it was something he was working on. I hope it is officially on the menu soon! My partner got the Tokyo Drift - could barely taste the alcohol. If you get one of the larger drinks in bowls, they are served with some surprise flair. Cocktails are definitely the specialty here! We were able to nab some free parking on Euclid Ave., but it is also pretty accessible by streetcar. I would definitely come back with a group!

We were out for a stroll down Queen St. West one Saturday night after me pointing it out that 11 pm…read morewasn't that late, especially in the Dog Days of Summer 2022 when the city was alive and nobody wanted to shut their eyes in case last years debacle of a summer might get a shell-game swap instead. This is my hood, and I should know where to go right? So as we did the slow walk up Queen, we first stopped at Bar Karma. An absolute great spot for a night out with friends with an alluring curb view and attractive staff in sexy attire with their clipboards ready to book you a booth and bottle service, and happy to chat us up. This wasn't what we were after, more specifically a night cap after an epic soccer match at BMO Field, along with catching the end of a rousing block party dance off at my local parking lot, so we kept walking. Next spot that looked good on the block was The Dime, and I pointed out this is where I'd bring my 905 friends who were visiting as they would feel right at home with the Colonial style and predictable drink and food menu. We went to the back and saw the nice, well-behaved back patio with bar, check! Then we plopped down at the very front window which was open to the warm humid air and sidewalk. It was ok, but it looked like I'd have to get up to get service, and was it worth it... hmmmm, then I asked her if she'd been to the Tiki bar next door, No?? Ok, follow me. Now we're talking!... past the punk rock bouncers (for the Bovine Sex Club live music space on the main floor) left past the Queen West girl at a desk giving us the nod to go up the stairs past the gaudy-good Tiki art going up the walls of the big staircase. I've been here a few times before and always enjoyed the time in Queen West taking a break from the street. In contrast with the dime next door, the place has energy and warmth. Not just because of the sultry night air (it actually felt like we were indoors) but because of the crowd there. It's always lit with a nice din to make you realize you're in one of the most vibrant cities in the world. I like being in bars where there could be a fight breaking out at any time, it just makes sense on a Saturday night when emotions can be brought to the surface. They offer typical kitchy Tiki drinks, have the kitchy Tiki art on the wall, and the two-tops with tall chairs and a nice big umbrella overhead cuz you're on the rooftop, it just feels like the right ending for an epic day of enjoying so much the city offers.

Came here for dinner when my friends and I were in town this past summer. There was a bit of a wait…read moreto get seated, so we sat outdoors with some cocktails. I decided to get a Blue Hawaii cocktail, which was beautifully presented to me. My friends also enjoyed their cocktails, and the time to wait for a table went by fairly quickly. We decided to share an order of their vegetarian baos, which were pretty good and surprisingly hearty. We asp shared an order of their tempura corn fritters, which were also hearty and tasty. I decided to get their jackfruit fried rice, which was unfortunately pretty lackluster. I felt like it needed something, perhaps more salt or soy sauce. Other than that, we had a lovely meal here and the restaurant itself was beautiful. A fun place to go out to if you happen to be in Toronto.

Honestly wasn't the biggest fan of the fried chicken as I found it lackluster. I really enjoyed the aloha burger though. Chorizo burgers are definitely more unique and I really liked the flavor and the grilled pineapple (I will always argue in favour of pineapple on burgers and pizzas). We also ordered drinks and they were not watered down which I appreciate. Overall presentation was A+, great place for a casual date with the girls or your partner.

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.

Yesterday my Mom and I made a return visit to Steelers for our 1st time in 2 years (see my previous…read morereview just below). As always we arrived around noon; this time we both chose from their breakfast menu which is available until 2 pm every day. I picked their Omelette w/3 eggs, toast and home fries. You can choose up to 6 fillings for the omelette for $1.00 each; I chose mushrooms and spinach and I was very pleased with my choices as it looked great and was delicious. My home fries and toast (on brown bread) were just as good. A couple of larger groups of people came and went while we were there; they were seated in the upper section on the opposite side of the venue to the entrance. The news was showing on the 2 big screen TVs that I saw. We had good service and once again, my overall impression of the quality of our visit was great.

I would have preferred a bench placement just cause I'm an old man, but the barstools and table we sat at were quite good. Highly recommend.

Thanks also to the other wait staff that pitched in to assist! Food - decent guacamole and deep fried tortilla chips. I ordered chicken enchiladas. While not my 1st choice after eating it, due to the exterior layer being more thick & 'bready' than expected, the sauce was still nice and light with the filling having a substantial amount of chicken. They has some other untraditional Mexican dishes, such as beef short ribs with potatoes and also scallops & adobo aioli (I wanna try this one next time!!!) Dessert, we shared a tres leches with 'fried' ice cream. Loved the thin crispy layer on the ice cream. The cake was more of lovely vanilla cake with cream vs a traditionally soaked-thru cake in milk tres leches. We would come again to try the scallops, as it looked amazing (someone else had it on our table) and because the staff was so great! (find me on IG via @aida.loves )
