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.

I absolutely love this bar! Most times I've been there has been to see live music upstairs in the beacon room and they've always got great talent! I love the vibes and the aesthetic. Recently I went for dinner and the food was incredible! This is the type of place that's it's not an issue of whether I'll be back again it's an issue of making sure I'm not there everyday hahaha

We ordered the winter salad, spicy pepp pizza and french onion pizza. The winter salad is an 11/10 dish, I immediately committed to returning after having that as an appetizer! The spicy pepp was the hands-down winner. One of the best pizzas I’ve had in Toronto. Service was lovely as well. We will definitely be returning!

A cute spot with delicious food. We stopped by on a Friday night and the vibes were so fun and cool inside. We got a Caesar salad and pizza and it was absolutely delicious. We also got a negroni which was so well priced! Service was quick and kind. Definitely recommend and will be back to check out the bar upstairs!
Such great service and very comfortable atmosphere. Happy hour deals too! Live music is a real treat!

Had a lovely dinner with family here! My partner had the special lamb shank & I had the sliders. Both were lovely. They made my sliders with a vegan sauce as I can't have dairy, which was greatly appreciated and delicious. The oysters were great, too! Service was wonderful, very sweet, and prompt.
