I was in here last weekend and wasn't too impressed by any of the beers, except the dark (though I probably shouldn't have gone to Volo first). Everyone at my table seemed to enjoy their food and the service was excellent, but it feels too much like a Yonge and Dundas tourist eatery for my tastes. H...

Guys the mix 6'er just launched and we're already complaining that we cannot get the pils in 6'ers of its own? Did it occur that maybe this is a good way to get some feedback on the pils before they determine if it is received well enough to launch it on its own? One step at a time folks. The fact ...
