The Bar Towel

Look at me yelling at clouds. We can't have nice things.

New Bar Volo website now and the cask & draft list is no longer available. When queried about, received this response: unfortunately we have decided to stop updating our websites with tap and cask lists. As our businesses expand and with our new website host, it has become challenging to keep up...

Seems Redline in Barrie is closed. Don't know when, but at least more than a year ago. https://www.reddit.com/r/barrie/comments/19fh0rb/does_anyone_know_the_story_behind_redline_closing/ Of the three, Flying Monkey, Barnstormer and Redline, I vastly preferred Redline both for beer and the food. All...

Previously I have never been a fan of The Rhino. I've had some terrible pours there due to likely dirty lines. This past summer I went twice because I happened to be in the area. That issue seems no more. Good clean pours. Good selection. Service was pretty quick inside and on the patio. (Never eate...

I've never been to their restaurant(s) but have not enjoyed their beers over the years. I presume they've improved?

Crap!

I never thought in my lifetime Ontario would finally be where it is now. (Boo on Ford for handing over taxpayers money to his corporate overlords to speed this up!) I'd visit all sorts of places in the USA and around the world where alcohol sales and consumption were nothing burgers: buy from privat...

But what about the dank? Can you describe the dank? I'm getting so excited about this. Mismatched furniture? Do the bathrooms have pesky doors? Come on, throw me a bone. Something, anything. Good nearby shawarma to bring in? If you're going to do reconnaissance... :roll: Well, I thought I'd leave s...

I went this past Saturday. Bar at the front with stools and seating at the back. The usual music on and not that loud too, which is always nice. Two unisex washrooms on the main floor. Six taps with I presume four more on the way at some point (based on the unused tap fridge further down the bar.) F...

I bought a bottle the last time it was available here and took it into my previous work's booze club weekly "meetings" for sampling. Everyone who tried it shrugged at it and said it was a cool bottle. Didn't finish the bottle that night and it's still sitting untouched since then on my liq...

Yeah, looking forward to T&M returning. Too bad it's no longer a short go-on-a-whim walk for me. Hopefully there's some decent take out eats around there.

Or even just Brewer's Backyard. Those are the events I miss the most. February 2018 Brewer's Backyard at Brickworks was the first official date with the better half. We also did the 2019 one too as a first anniversary. Then the world stopped for a while. Anyways, we're getting married in a couple o...

As with all such events, please Event Owners/Organizers, I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS BEING SERVED BEFORE I COMMIT MONEY! I do not want to find out that all of what is being served is the breweries regular staples which are available at the LCBO, ordered directly from them or at bars around town. And idea...

Thanks for posting that! I remember Toronto Bourbon Week. :D I discovered at Carbon, for half price!, what would become my favourite bourbon. Completely random selection, I just picked the highest price shot on the menu. I recall the LCBO had some stock of it then and none since despite my pestering...
