| I visited this pub last night and was thoroughly impressed. Located close to Davisville subway station, this is architecturally an English style pub along the lines of a Chef and Brewer house as they were during the 1980s and early 1990s. Woodpanelling throughout, with decorated mirrors on some walls. Tungsten lighting. The pub is divided into several drinking areas by wood partitioning, and has an enclosed street-level balcony for smokers. The beer range is the connoisseur's delight, comprising a range of draught beers into double figures, including at least one cask ale at all times with up to three available in the winter months. I enjoyed every drop of the beers I tried last night, as follows: Mill Street TANK HOUSE ALE Slightly gassier than at Rex the previous evening, full flavoured red ale. Ajax HOP ADDICT Exquisite, and well-deserving of the word. Hoppy, bitter and deeply aromatic. Devils Pale Ale 666 Malt in the forefront, quite sweet and slightly nutty. Black Oak NUT BROWN Sweetcorn on the nose at the beginning; strong hazelnut notes, with increasing nuttiness (peanut) to a bitter finish. Black Oak PALE ALE Very Dry, hoppy and bitter. A good reference beer would be Milton Sparta. Black Oak CASK ALE Cask conditioned and dispensed through handpump. A "wherry good" approximation for a certain Woodforde's Norfolk brew! Slight tinges of Adnams when on its best form. Sophisticated and delicate. Whilst I arrived too late to eat here, the food menu reads excellently. Random examples are 9" pizzas @ $12, bison chili and wild salmon burgers available for around 10 bucks and an excitingly varied range of mains, snacks and starters many prepared to a Canadian recipe. Karaoke sessions are held on Thursdays, whilst live music is staged on a Sunday. At other times, recorded music is played at a level which allows comfortable conversation. While the pub is away from the main tourist areas of the city, it is well worth the effort of finding and you will not be disappointed. lad_newton - 8 Jun 2008 19:16 |
| Lots of local ontario and canadian suds with wicked food and a brilliant atmosphere-especially on sunday afternoons when they have live music. Kasmunro - 11 Feb 2005 19:22 |
