Dive bar with an entitled owner. I was parked in the lot shared with a neighbouring business and the owner decided to park right smack in the middle of the lot entrance, blocking the entire parking lot in. I waited 20 minutes for the owner to tell me it was his right to block everyone in because he owned the lot. Don't support this dive, there are plenty of bars in Hintonburg!

If you're looking for an old school feel, this is your place. Prices on food are amazing for today's rates! It's worth a checkout, especially on Friday and Saturday night w live bands!!!!

It’s an old building kind of bar but it’s when you get served a drink you can feel something which makes you think you are wanted there. I don’t remember the main dudes name but he is really nice and caring.

There is a pool table too which you pay per hour to use (I don’t remember the exact price but it’s really cheap! Like a dollar or $5 per hour).

This is one of those fun places that you go into with no expectations. We went to see a great band play there. We didn't eat but the food looked pretty good. Just had beers. The staff were friendly. I feel like this would be a great neighbourhood bar where regulars go.

Great atmosphere and service. Food and beer was very reasonably priced as well! Had the hot dog which was well dressed and came with a fresh salad.

What can I say, it's a great place to meet up with old and new friends. Simple, but delicious, food, great beer. 'Nuff said.

Definitely a unique experience. Old 1930s building meets modern pub menu.

Honest prices, great staff, confusing entrance way. No complaints here. Bring your friends here to either confuse them or convince them you're a scene kid.

Vegetarian options: Veggie burger! Although ours was a bit overcooked

A classic! So delighted to return here after many years and enjoy the same casual and easy-going atmosphere and friendly, personable staff.Decent selection of food, including a solid range of pizza selections. Regular local live bands to enjoy. And leave your pretention at the door to enjoy a fun evening laughing with friends.And those "quart" sized beers! Cheers!
