I’d really recommend this to anyone who has ever thought about homebrewing. I made a new year’s resolution this year to get in to it, and I have enjoyed every minute of it (well, maybe not so much the bottle washing!). You would be surprised at the quality beer you can produce with a little bit of e...

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I have revisited a couple Bloor West pubs and thought I would throw in my two cents. First, the good – A Dark Horse did indeed have Fullers ESB and Mill St., and I quite liked the pub – much better than what I remembered. A bit of an older crowd, but for some re...

I have not been to the Dark Horse in about a year, but it is good to know that there are a couple of decent taps in there. I too found it smoky in the very open environment, but it did have some character. The last time I was in the Griffin, the tap list was standard British selection, but again, th...

I was just using the terminology from the lcbo website under store description - I see now they actually have two stores listed for the same address there - store 1 and 741 I think. It was my first trip there and while I didn't notice any price differences in the products I purchased, it certainly h...

I finally tried the O'hara's on the weekend (I found 20 (!) at the LCBO clearance centre at 401 and weston rd. - lots of Young's too, although I only picked up a few of each) and really enjoyed it, so if that is the case (I missed the Wild Irish the last time it was though) I look forward to it. And...

In reference to Stephen's Guinness comments, I agree, it isn't what it used to be and that is too bad. Despite what some may think on this forum, having a good pint of Guinness in a quality atmosphere is one of the true drinking pleasures in life (in my opinion of course). I can't help but think the...

Thanks Jon - I had wondered where the Man U club went and now I know - I will check it out. Yeah, I remember when they did the filming at McVeigh's a few years ago - being a member of the Celtic supporters club, I am in there quite often - that's what I love about downtown right now - if I want a gu...

Good luck on the possible move Publican - the upstairs of the bow would be a great place to host the reds. Yeah, Scallywags is the other great english footie bar in the city - I watched some world cup matches there a couple of years ago and it was a great atmosphere. If you're footie tastes run a li...
