An institution in the East end . Quiet pub. May get some of the university crowd but mostly a watering role for the neighborhood locals.

We really wanted to like this pub. Tried it twice times. First time there was an aggressive barking dog that wasn't silenced; didn't know it was a dog-friendly space. The second time there was a fussy baby at the bar; again, just an odd situation for a pub that other reviewers say has a cozy atmosphere. The draft prices are super high (and the glasses seem small), the music is too low so any conversation at the bar is heard in the whole space. Nothing engaging, nothing to draw anyone back.

Quiet spot, good beer, a few people on the VLTs and a few TVs on with baseball and hockey games
A classic.
