Great little places in Beaches near my house. Combine commie propoganda on the walls, reggae music and great beer - a good recipe for success. About 10 taps or so that rotate fairly regularly and tons of bottles, two full shelves of Belgians. Their menu never keeps up with their selection - you always have to check the fridge.

This was a pleasant surprise. Ambiance and atmosphere to spare. Small, crowded, great music, good beer, good food. The place was packed with what looked liked locals. Everone was friendly, bank was good. I’ll be back.

Smallish bar in the up and coming Beaches area. WIth a Belgian fest, it became very crowded. Service is trying, but they are not particularly knowledgeable. Go by the smokers in the front. A decent number of taps of local stuff. If you are in the very Southeast, this is a place to go for a tap. Almost all Belgians were LCBO.

Visited on a busy Saturday evening at the end of September 2007. A close-feel garage-windowed bar on busy Queen Street, bouncing cute Cuban-esque beach music off pictures of famous people on the walls. Service was ok. Good beer selection. Overall, would be an interesting local pub.

Cute little bar, it’s like a hole in the wall really. I used to live at Woodbine and Gerrard so it wasn’t too far for me to walk. Nice selection of belgian, but they don’t seem to educated on how to keep them, i often got bottles of Rochefort almost frozen served to me at the same temperature as a Coors Light. All the sediment has solidified, and i had HUGE floaters, and iw as chastized when i brought the bottle back,amd they argued with me that it was supposed to be like that. The food is minimal, all stuff made on a cooking board in the back, they dont have an oven. Meh, it you live nearby its a good place to find some beer you wont get at the LCBo but don t go looking for this place.

Breezy, slightly tacky little echoey cavern with a good selection of bottled beers and some fair draught options. Social vibe is mix of desperately bored Beach area youth and a few aging beerophiles. Food is nothing to stay for. Keep an eye on the bottle list, quite good for this slightly dull quiet part of town although prices used to be a little kinder to the restless Beaches dweller seeking respite from the seagulls and surf.

first impression: a lot of photos on the wall and quite a lot of people enjoying a nice saturday afternoon here. a very nice waitress serving, the selection is decent. overall a good place to have an afternoon brew.

I finally checked this off my list of places to visit in the city today. Great little (and I mean little) neighborhood place (and non-smoking like everything in Toronto is, in reference to my fellow ratebeerian’s ratings from 2 years ago). Prompt service, great cheap wings, and a decent tap and bottle selection. Again, like some other places I have recently rated, will not blow you away in terms of selection but it certainly has more than most and is all micro/quality import. After a day at the beach, head to Castro’s for sure - really similar to its northerly neighbor The Only.
