The Cottage

Looks pretty authentic, especially on the inside. Worth a trek to the east I suppose.

Red Light on Dundas

Found the Red Light on Dundas (1185 Dundas West), just west of Ossington on the south side. It's so new they don't even have a sign yet, and the draught wasn't up and running when I showed up. However, they had seven taps, six of which were micros and one of the seven is a monthly rotation (I recall...

Was in Halifax last Thursday and specifically went to the Granite only to find the doors had closed the Sunday prior. I just missed them.

Magpie

I was by the Magpie on the weekend and it looks like they were out of about 50% of their draught beer. Don't know how long that's been going on though. What was left wasn't bad but it certainly was only worth a drop in on my way home from the Cloak.

I too was surprised to see no mention of Ciro's and the Cloak. However, he seems to have stuck to the "higher end" places in the article.

There's a pub in Oshawa, The Tartan or something, and they sell Belhaven on tap (other than that though the menu is very uninspiring).

New Pub Kingsawy

Tried the Emerald Inn on the Kingsway (just west of Royal York subway stop on the south side of Bloor) for a political function last week.
