Shakey's has drink and food specials that are actually promoted and are good value. It also has a Canadian decor and vibe. No hyphens here. Food is fine, drinks are well priced. And they stay open late, often until legal closing time. So many bars in the west end are sweeping up and turning the house lights on early. Highly recommended.

I'd say I made mistakes in ordering the banh mi and the shwarma. I don't know what I was thinking as I was fooled but how nice it looked. I'd pass on both of these, not bad tasting, just not up to banh mi and shwarma standards. Guess stick to the tried and true burger and fries. The prices I'd say are very reasonable. For that I'd come again. The beer selection, a mix of macro and micro. For the micro, they don't veer too far from crowd pleasers so don't expect anything fancy I can definitely tell they got some regulars here. But it's cool.

Was in the area with a friend after The Stop's Night Market and we was looking for a place where we…read morecould watch the NBA Finals (yeah I'm a huge basketball fan, I talk about the Finals in every review, I know). Bar Lokys had a sign on the sidewalk that said "Watch the NBA Finals here!" and showed off a couple of their drink specials. Good enough, we thought. The bar is located down a short staircase and around a graffiti-covered wall. Looks kinda sketchy at first but once you get past the wall you see quite a well-decorated wooden interior. There was a good-looking pool table right in the center of the bar. It was totally empty except for the two employees working (not a big deal, it was a Tuesday after all). There was a lot of basketball memorabilia on the walls and behind the bar, so we knew we had made the right choice. The employees greeted us and let us sit at the table closest to one of the two big screen TVs. They kindly asked us if we wanted the volume higher, which we gratefully accepted. We were then given drink menus and were stunned at how cheap the beers here were. For indexing purposes, a domestic bottle was $3.50, and premium imports were $5, taxes in. It is a Lithuanian bar so they had quite a few European options as well. The staff were clearly knowledgeable about basketball, and were nice enough to offer conversation throughout the game. Though the bar was totally empty, I still had a good experience here. I'm not in this area often so I'm not sure I'll return, but I'll definitely recommend it if you're in the area.

It's also pretty reasonable so and right Downtown Toronto, so you gotta like that. If you're catching a afternoon matinee at the Scotiabank movie theater, it steps away, so pretty handy. The server was really fantastic. Very knowledgeable, and just really friendly and personable. Highly recommend for the service alone. There's a variety of booze and you can even sit at the bar if you want. So it seems to be quite spacious. You can also reserve an Open table. We had a big breakfast with French toast. I found the bacon could've been a little more well cooked for me. Especially since I asked for it being crispy, but it was OK. The rest was pretty good like I said a standard breakfast. And they did leave us alone to kind of have a nice chat . Getting there. I know there are parking garages nearby including one right next to the Scotiabank Theatre. Otherwise, there's TTC that will get you close by. It's located on the SE corner of Richmond and Peter.

Our first choice was completely full, so we walked a little and wound up at The Wicket. I'm so glad we did. We immediately managed to snag a pretty sweet table and the guy who served us was very friendly and efficient. Everyone wound up getting beer and I decided to order the Fried Chicken Sandwich ("lettuce, tomato and sriracha aioli") for food. It's a decent sandwich. The bread and toppings were quite good, and the fried chicken was fresh and tasty. I will say, though, that the chicken itself wasn't exactly plentiful. It seemed like a got a few bites that were either just bread or just fried breading. Still, I loved the ambiance and the service. I'll definitely return.

I had the Henderson's Food Truck. Henderson's is a local brewery and I've had it prior it's always good. I ordered the Fried Chicken dinner. The dinner came with fries and two boneless chicken thighs. The fries were delish my girlfriend ended up eating them on me. They had a very McDonald's vibe. The fried chicken was well seasoned and juicy! The Wicket is a cool spot. We are running out of cool small local bars and need to continue supporting them. I definitely recommend this place 5 outta 5!

Came here for a date day before the Raptors game. I have always been curious as there is such a…read morelong line. I was surprisingly able to get a reservation just a few days before the game. Ambiance - 4/5: similar to most sports bar, it's dim and loud with a lot of sports games on tv. They had a lot of reservations so the tables were split off for our small reservation. It felt a little tight. There seems to be 2 levels of seating. Service - 3.75/5: we got there early but they were nice enough to seat us early. The host sweetly pulled out my seat for me. It took us awhile to decide what to order but the server was patient with us. He checked in on us a few times. Maybe because the tables are tight, servers kept knocking into my chair seving other patrons and my seat is all the way into the table. Food - 3.5/5: I appreciate that the menu gives little historical moments that happened over the years. we ordered: Spinach dip - comes with chips and pita. Some of the chips were heavily seasoned. The pita is soft but doesnt really absorb much of the spinach dip. The dip itself is light in flavor. I prefer the chips over the pita Steak frites - we ordered medium rare and they got the cook right. The steak knife is very bendy. It should have been a AAA striploin but for some reason it felt tough and was hard to cut through. The charcoal grill marks made the exterior too burnt, giving it a bitterness to the steak. It came with an arugula salad and a very genorous portion of fries. Everything was seasoned well. The arugula salad and the chimmichuri on the steak had a tartness to it which added some brightness to the dish. I typically don't use ketchup but I needed it to help me with the fries. I could not finish the fries Sundae - there's probably only 1 scoop worth of vanilla ice cream. It comes in a cup with whipped cream and berries. Overall: 3.75/5 - If we come back, I might try other food items.

We absolutely love this place. It's the perfect sports bar: an insane number of gigantic TVs, all showing different games, high-energy vibes, and consistently great service. Food-wise, we ALWAYS get the Garlic Knots; they're our absolute favourite. We've never had a bad menu item here, and the drinks are always solid. One important tip: I highly recommend booking in advance, especially on any sort of game day. This place fills up fast, and for good reason. If you're visiting Toronto and want the ultimate game-day atmosphere with great food, you can't go wrong here. For more travel and food reviews, check out our YouTube channel -- A&M Roam!

It was me and my girlfriend's anniversary and we're huge Jays fans so this was a big deal for us. When we got there for our 7:30 reservation, we were informed that they didn't not have a table for us. They did not apologize to us or admit that they had done anything wrong, even though we showed them the call logs. All they did was walk up to us every 5 minutes (while serving many other people) and tell us that everything was under control. It wasn't. We ended up watching the game from home. I write this review in hopes that somebody sees it and decides not to give this place business, as this is the only form of payback I can hope to get against this place for ruining our anniversary plans.
