    While wondering the area for coffee I stumbled upon their cute little flower arch and decided on brunch instead. Since it was pretty early in the day there was no wait and i was seated promptly on their cute little back patio. I like that area because its still outdoors but away from all the sidewalk traffic that stopped to take photos at the same arch that lured me in. Service wasnt too bad and breakfast was a delicious pork belly BLT and a fun gin drink! I kinda wish I discovered this place earlier in my trip because there would have been multiple stop ins.

    A night for girls who are hunting for well-reputed cocktails in the city, and today we were here at The Oxley! We ordered: (food) # Ploughman's Platter (Shareable). # Calamari & Chorizo Toast # Chips & House Ketchup We had the Ploughman's platter slowly with two draft beers (Pilsner from Junction and IPA from Nickel Brook). The variety of items on the plate can, we thought, fill two of us easily - it came with picked egg, Cured Meats slices, Terrine slices, Aged Cheddar slices, Pickles, Mustard, two pieces of green apples and two kinds of Chutney & Fresh Bread. But we realized that we can go for more food, along with more drinks. Then we ordered Calamari & Chorizo Toast and French fries & House Ketchup. We enjoyed both, especially the French fries. One of the best in the past decade! Light and fluffy inside, with crispy exterior. Calamari & Chorizo's calamari was super tender. The Chorizo brought its own saltiness to the whole topping, and the bread kept its crispiness even with this rich topping. AND our cocktails of the day: #The Oxley G&T # Kentucky Harvest # Spiced Sour # My Drunk Uncle All their cocktails were perfectly balanced, and packed with complex flavor profiles. I especially liked Spiced Sour. Egg white was super fine with gentle touch and mellow the sourness to the perfect level. I sniffed the spice scent for every sip. So good! This place is upgraded version of Pub that is not easily found in elsewhere in Toronto, with quality food and carefully selected/prepared drinks. They change the menu every season. I will come back to try winter menu - very soon!

    this place is pretty good. The drinks are really nice, service is quick. They had a great charcuterie board that had lots of different things that we've never tried before but everything worked perfectly! We definitely come back here again.

    The ambiance is fantastic and the food were decent. Highly recommend the Scotch Ale on the menu. Service were amazing, especially memorable with that one bearded bartender

    Cozy, quintessential British pub serving up great drinks and the best fries in the city. Prompt and friendly staff kept our water glasses filled all night. Great patios in the summer. Homey and gorgeous inside just please don't take too many Instagram photos.

    RECOMMEND: Three decades since I'd lunched in Yorkville and I wandered in to The Oxley and was rewarded! Good service & ambiance sitting inside at the bar during the heatwave but the seating outside would be fantastic on the right weather day or hour. Grilled Atlantic Salmon with Yukon dumplings & peas served in an accent broth. If this pub was in Los Angeles I would go there often. If you are local take advantage of their delicious fare!

    Visiting from the US/ SF area. Food was cooked well and presentable but overall, type of food was not to our liking. Choice of indoor, outdoor front or back and upstairs dining in Yorkville fine shopping area. Came here for brunch on Saturday. Hostess was accommodating; our main server was a bit pessimistic. Would recommend another choice.

    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.

This was first on our list, located in the Scotiabank Tower on Adelaide. We got a nice corner table, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting, not too loud but not library-like either. The music, mostly UK fare like their cuisine, played an acceptable volume that my friends and I didn't have to raise our voices. We were seated very promptly, and our server took care to attend to my friend's allergy. She even asked to change my friend's cutlery when another server brought the wrong salad. My appetizer was a hot-smoked salmon pâté, which was ok by itself, but eaten with the pickles gave it that taste I wouldn't forget. I chose for my main the Petit Roast Dinner; the cut was excellent, full of flavour and juicy to boot. The gravy for said cut just brought the roast to another level. The sides were delicious as well, especially the crispiness of the potatoes. A clean plate was the end result! Finally to finish the meal, I chose the chocolate banoffee cheesecake - I never pass on any cheesecake when it's offered. And it didn't disappoint! The banana brûlée was an interesting touch, while having toffee sauce drizzled on the cheesecake was a first (and not definitely last) for me! All in all, it was a nice introduction to The Rabbit Hole, and I can't wait to go down there again!
