Smokeless Joe NOW OPEN!!!!!!

Post by Colin @ Canada »

It's an exciting time for Smokeless Joe as we have moved up to College Street into a bigger yet still cozy space with an upper level and a quite back patio. I am returning after a year off and am very excited. We are not open yet but I will keep all of you informed as to the progress. Colin.

Great to hear you're back at Smokeless Colin!

I wandered by the new location last week and peeked inside - some folks were busy with the renos. Keep us in the loop as to the status!

Having this and Burger Bar within 5 minutes walking of my house is making me pretty excited for Smokless to open.

I biked by tonight and it appeared to be a soft open? Paper off the windows, and there were customers sitting inside enjoying the libations.

Congrats.

What's the address of this place? I'm at UofT on Sundays so I may have to stop by.
I don’t care what the U.N. says, I don’t recognize countries that don’t produce beer.

Stopped by on Wednesday night. This place is great! A really cool atmosphere and a great tap list. Talked to 3 or 4 people who worked there and they were all extremely friendly and talkative.

The icing on the cake was the Temptest on tap. Delicious! This will definitey become a regular spot for me.

We are opening at 5:00pm everyday for now. Our Amsterdam rotating tap will now feature Cascadian Black IPA from them as the Tempest stout is no more.

Added Wellington Russian Imperial Stout to our tap list. I hadn't had this in a while and forgot how good it is.
