Came here for the first time and was welcomed by a very friendly and bubbly worker! The service was great and really enjoyed his energy (I wish I got his name). We were let know that the usual chef was not in so certain items were not able to be made. Our appetizers were divine! We absolutely adored the calamari but I especially loved the Cesar salad handhelds. My partners spaghetti entre came with only 3 shrimp which was disappointing given the price. I got the ravioli, which was cold and mushrooms were very overcooked:( we definitely want to give this place a second chance given the circumstances with the chef! We had a great experience otherwise and absolutely loved the decor! Would definitely check out the upstairs bar next time too!

Sort of stumbled across this place last night and it was a great surprise! Nice ambiance, great service (served by very friendly bartender downstairs), and the food was great. We had the pork chop, 1/2 chicken dish and pepperoni pizza. Highly recommend!

This place has got one of the best pizzas 🍕in the city. It’s an absolute hidden gem. We loved the shrooms and saag paneer pizza. The atmosphere is funky and there music upstairs 😍. Definitely a good place to dine out.

The hostess was awful We had a reservation for the patio and she said is wasn’t available and made no effort to get us on the patio We sat inside and the atmosphere was less than stellar Needless to say I do not recommend and the hostess was dismissive and rude

Popped in for a very late snack. The pizza was amazing (spicy , sweet and cheese) as was my drink (a fizzy passionfruit lemonade). Don't let the upstairs music deter you, it's worth a visit.
Food was great, went with a group. Had the piri piri chicken which was amazing and the pizzas were as well. Service was nice. Would definitely go back

The Bell is downstairs and sells pizza. I didn't go downstairs so I can't credibly review the food, although it did smell good.
The Beacon is upstairs with a black ceiling, dim lights, and a small chalkboard with their draft and cocktail specials. It's cozy, has two bathrooms, a classic metal-tip dartboard, seats at the bar for about ten, and chairs & tables for another 10-20 or so. The drinks are reasonably priced for Toronto in 2025.
DJ DC hosts karaoke on Tuesdays. If you arrive at start time (9pm) it'll be you, DJ DC, the bartender, and whoever else is there in rotation until the sister restaurant down the street lets out around 11, when the place quickly fills up with enthusiastic singers and a cheerful crowd.
Is it pretty and flashy? Absolutely not. Did it feel like my grandpa's basement bar in his old house when I was growing up? Absolutely yes. It's basically the Cheers of Parkdale. Get a drink, sing a song, make friends with the locals, and if you end up having a bad time it's your own damn fault.

I love this place so much. Have been here about 6 times since the fall, and every time I go I am more and more impressed. Just celebrated an early bday dinner, here, tonight, with my boyfriend. We are both in love with the winter green salad and saag paneer pizza. Please never go away! 😂❤️

Great little pub in Parkdale! Pizza was surprisingly delicious and the live band made it a great St Patrick Day.
Vegetarian options: A couple of veggie pizzas options available.
