The food in this place is terrible, ... the wings have not flavour, and the ribs are premade and cold, dont recomend this place to eat .. good for a couple of cold beers, ... nothing else, there is not good music and the ambiance pretty sad, ... beatiful location but not taking advantage of it ...

Good pub food and a great assortment of beers! Very popular with after-work drinkers (and thus, very noisy!)

Had dinner there while in Toronto. Good location on Yonge St. Lots of locals having a pint of beer. Good service, but our food was average. We had the fish and chips and the breading was a bit too thick and heavy. But overall the food was good and a fun experience. Service was excellent & they had a ruby... More

Stopped in for a bite to eat and a beer after a lot of walking in downtown. The atmosphere was nice, and the Guinness was good, but I found the prices too high for the food (beer wasn't cheap either) so I skipped dinner and tried another spot. Guess I've just grown accustomed to smaller town prices.

I went her because it was across the street from my hotel and was not expecting such a good meal. In fact I went back again before I left Toronto. Both meals, pork loin and steak, were excellent and I would recommend it as not just a beer pub, but as a very good place for a meal.

This pub is conveniently located, offering a reasonably priced menu. I had the chicken club and my husband ordered the burger. Both were good. With a beer & a glass of wine $55. It's been a while since I ate here & I think they used to have a more extensive menu. We found the menu a bitt limited.

This is a wonderful Irish pub in a beautiful old building. We did not order food so I cannot comment on that, but the wait staff was excellent, and the drinks reasonably priced with a good selection. A fantastic place to hang out with friends.

Sat outside on upper balcony. Bar Tender was great! Made up a special surprise for us...and it was outstanding! Did not eat there, just had a drink and watched the world go by!

I have come here often when I come into town.The food is always excellent.The service is usually very good ,but it can be either a comfortable noise level or very noisy depending on what time you are there and if it is busy.I do love the atmosphere....the high ceilings and decor. So if you don't mind it gettting a little... More

If you really love people,and bars,and the feeling of happy people in bars singing along to whatever,or not. It seems like there are always the right amount of people there, not too crowded,never empty. Not too loud or too quiet. For a big place, it feels small.
