Don’t go here. The server with the curly hair was super rude to us (she wasn’t even our server), she told us we had to pay and leave because my friend was being too loud. They also continued to serve her alcohol so they clearly didn’t think she was too drunk and felt comfortable enough to keep making money from her buying drinks (which is the responsibility of the server SmartServe101 lol). When she asked us to pay and leave, my other friend made a joke about not tipping and this is when the curly haired waitress threatened to charge us 20% gratuity for a table of 4, which I’m pretty sure she’s not allowed to do since she wasn’t even our server and we’re not a group of 6+ people. She then proceeded to kick my friend out of the establishment for making a joke about not tipping. He later went back in to talk to her and ask why she was so rude to us and she said that my 4th friend sexually assaulted her, which is a very serious accusation and doesn’t make any sense why she had ask him to leave and not the person that she claims sexually assaulted her. My friend who payed the bill was the one she claims sexually assaulted her so why did she kick out the other friend? Will be calling management tomorrow to ask for her resignation or provide footage of this accusation. Update in response to their comment: Our server never mentioned the 20% gratuity when we entered. He only mentioned that the wait time for food was expected to be an hour, so I don’t understand why you would lie about mentioning this. My friend also didn’t sexually assault your server. He lost his balance on the wobbly table top and leaned back and accidentally touched his hand on the mid back of the curly haired server to catch his balance. When this happened she didn’t ask my friend to leave or kick him out. She kicked out my other friend when he joked about not tipping. The friend that accidentally touched the server actually went up to her and apologized to her about the incident and she accepted his apology, so I would be interested in seeing this on the footage you sent to the police as well. Lastly, you said you mentioned that the server doesn’t drink and was sober, not sure why you mentioned this, because I didn’t comment on her sobriety. I commented on the establishment still serving my girlfriend drinks when they seemed to have a problem with her when they came over and yelled at her for being too loud.

It's taken more then 30 minutes for waiter to get to us, and then they didn't except our order and told us to leave.

Nice beer specials. Wings were good but overly saucy for me. Nice location. Bingo night was going on and the place was bumping.

A great neighborhood local! Shakey's is exactly what you want for you local pub - very cozy, great food, consistently good beer selection on tap. Highly recommend making a reservation for their monthly oyster night (IYKYK). It's very sports-centric with the TVs, but that's Toronto for ya.

Shakey’s Bar & Grill in Bloor West Village is one of those rare places that feels like home the moment you walk in. It’s welcoming, completely non-judgmental, and has some of the friendliest, most personable staff you’ll ever meet. Between the incredible team, the tight-knit and kind community of regulars, and the consistently good food and drink options, you’re always guaranteed a great time.
Their specials make it an affordable spot without ever sacrificing quality, service, or flavour. The menu has something for everyone, and everything is made with care. On a bad day, I know that stopping by Shakey’s will instantly turn things around. Love this place, it is an staple in Bloor West Village.

Terrible service, came here for a lunch break and waited an hour for our food without any follow-ups from the waitress. We ended up taking our food to go. Just go somewhere else on Bloor.
Went with my friend to get some drinks on a Friday night
The vibe is nice with good music and the severs are lovely and helpful

Was there for a Sunday Leafs game and the place was dead. Max about 9 people including a friend and myself. Will have to walk by a Saturday Leafs game to see what it is like to see if I go again. Drink specials, food specials seemed more than reasonable and I like that they actually list deal prices on the website. A lot of tvs to watch the game but a few of the tvs showing the same game were a second or so ahead of the one I was watching...a bit annoying.
Always a fun place to watch a game.
