About 95% of people sat outside & they sat almost everyone immediately that they could. The waitresses & front end staff worked hard to get everyone everything that they needed quickly. I was impressed. The inside is definitely pub style. The bathrooms were clean. The bartender spoke very good English. It looked like most people enjoyed a Molson Canadian draft beer or a cocktail. I had the fish tacos but it was more like traditional fish & chips without the chips in a street taco tortilla. I would recommend something else. The presentation was nice but not the right taste.

Great place to people watch if you can get a spot on the terrace.
Nice & relaxed atmosphere, really good staff that were quick to serve & friendly as well.
There was a street performer playing right across the terrace. I’m not sure he added to the atmosphere!
We had a few beers & the poutine which were ok.

Rob recommends: an excellent early evening drink on the terrace, the street performer might not be for you though
