One of our favourite local bars, Bryden's, at Jane & Bloor, is now offering cask ale. In addition to their 10 + craft beer taps, this is a pretty sweet place to drink some great beer and watch the game in a cozy setting (i think the capacity is less than 60).
Bryden's will be featuring our pilot brews regularly on cask, so head on over to try our one-off creations. We've currently got a dry hopped pale ale on offer, with more to come.

Introducing Light Mode! If you would like a Bar Towel social experience that isn't the traditional blue, you can now select Light Mode. Go to the User Control Panel and then Board Preferences, and select "Day Drinking" (Light Mode) from the My Board Style drop-down menu. You can always switch back to "Night Drinking" (Dark Mode). Enjoy!

I don't get the problem with C'est What, they are extremely off-beat but I enjoy that in a place.Tapsucker wrote: I don't even put up with that crap at C'est What
Not anyone's fault if this puts them off! Maybe we're a reactive (not proactive) culture, ie. one that quickly gets angry at serving people rather than makes a small return effort to connect with servers as just people. "Not my job!" - and you're completely right of course. The Only Café can be just as flaky, but I would not change it one tiny bit - just because it IS so non-corporate, and the people are more real.
