The tables were clean, and there were lively pool matches happening all around. We started off with lunch. I had a salad and got some extra chicken and wow... some of the most tender, flavourful chicken breast I've ever had dining outside. I went in with no expectations and was pleasantly surprised. My teammates also seemed happy with their food. There were also vegetarian options available. Then we played pool. Everything was set up neatly, and easy to access. The poolhall is dimly lit and has a cozy vibe. It's easy to get into your game, even though there are matches happening all around you.

This place had a solid old fashioned and a terrific collection. I started with Canadian Club 18 yr. And it was good. A few others I won't bore you with. I had the beef sliders and they were tasty.

If you go during happy hour there's a dealers choice cocktail special where they make something for you based off your flavour preferences, which I also love.

We ordered two of their cocktails - and we found both great; good combination of flavours and excellent presentation. They had some constraints in the kitchen, so the food orders were taken late and some items were not available. I can say that the braai platters had an authentic taste; but with items missing, opportunity was lost for the truly authentic platter. Given the constraints, the service was excellent - friendly, and we were kept well up to date. Would love to come again.

Rooms are what you pay for, but for such a great location in Toronto I can't complain. Everything was clean despite being a little shabby and service was friendly and helpful. We caught a show on the one night we stayed here, split a liter of cheap boxed wine and some fries and had such a great time. What a classic Toronto space.

I wish they had a sliding door instead of a curtain for the bathroom, but this is one of the most affordable places to stay in Toronto without leaving the city much, so you take what you can get. Check in process was easy, but I wish they gave some recommendations for parking nearby. At the jazz club, very cool vibe there. Good selection of drinks for affordable prices, and we split some wine. Service was great during the jazz show, and the show itself was one of the highlights of our time in Canada. Everyone should go to one of these shows at least once, because at the very least you will walk away with an appreciation, but more probably a fan.

We sat outside on the patio because there was a live band and the ambiance was very chic. For drinks - we had the Delux Martini and Raspberry Ginger Spritz and had the dusted calamari for an appetizer. For the main course my friend had the Turkey Club Sandwich and I had the Teriyaki Salmon. They were both pretty good. We ended the night with one more round of drinks. I had the Rusty Sidecar and she had the Grapefruit Margarita. Overall, we really enjoyed our evening! I will say that the meal was a bit pricey. Our bill came up to $200.

I've…read morealso been here during the Toronto Jazz Fest, when they hosted late night performances, which were awesome. But on a regular night, this place lacks atmosphere and charm. Sure, it has some comfy places to sit and take a load off -- couches and armchairs and what nots. And the servers are usually very nice. But that's about all this place has going for it. It feels deadsville inside. The martinis are served in stemless glasses (BOO) and aren't anything special. On our last visit, my husband ordered his favourite custom drink, a Manhattan made with mezcal instead of whiskey, and the server brought it over no questions asked. But on the bill, the drink was $90 !! That's outrageous -- we should have been warned by the bartender before it was made. Anyway, that aside, it's just not an impressive or fun bar experience. But randomly, they do have a courtyard area with transparent, heated igloo pods where you and friends can dine in winter (ends in March). Haven't tried them but apparently it's a pris fixe menu or minimum spend.

Cool concept if you're into that, but it's definitely a different vibe than choosing a track from a catalog and singing along. From what I gathered, the band was friendly and offered an alternative when they didn't know the song my mom wanted to sing, but she opted out and left shortly after. No big deal. The place looked decent from the outside, kind of like the kind of pub you'd slip into for a pint and some low-key tunes. Later, I mentioned the experience during a karaoke chat somewhere else, and people who had been to Queen Victoria Pub spoke well of the jammy-oke setup. So, while it wasn't the right fit for my mom that night, others seem to enjoy it. Probably worth checking out if you're open to a more live-jam kind of karaoke scene.

So on a Friday night I suddenly fancied some Fish & Chips. But I am rather fussy about my fish. I…read moredo prefer halibut over haddock or cod. But as many know halibut is a premium fish. But I found this pub had halibut on the menu so I ordered two dinners plus a side (1 lbs) of wings. The food arrived hot and the fish was very good. The portion size was decent and the fries were still edible. I often find when ordered for home delivery fries seldom make the trip. I kind of wished more restaurants/ pubs vented their boxes so the fries did not get too soggy. I did find my order came with a generous portion of tartar sauce but they served white vinegar not malt. A bit of a faux pas here. I did find the wings a bit under done. I guess I prefer a bit of a crisp so I popped those in my air fryer for 5 minutes at 400 ° F. After that they made a tasty side.
