Best food ever! Check out the Ding a Wing sandwich it’s amazing. Pool hall, arcade, bar upstairs. Dope venue.

The food was absolutely delicious. The customer service was really great. Very accommodating to my friend who was in a wheelchair. The music and lighting made the atmosphere of the place feel very welcoming. Highly recommend checking this place out. Definitely coming back.

Attended on election night to watch the polls with people. The place was loud and slammed, but staff were friendly, calm and considerate. Ordered a Swiss mushroom burger with fries. Fries were amazing. Crisp and spicy. Burger was juicy and delicious, with great caramelized onions, crispy bacon, melted cheese and soft buns. So good. I wasn’t expecting much, tbh, but was pleasantly surprised.

My cousin and I stumbled on this place while looking for something to eat close to the hospital. It's such a great vibe here! Who knew we would end up coming the night that they had trivia. The food was incredible, very reasonably priced as well. We tried the wings, roasted corn feta dip, and a bacon cheeseburger. All of it was very fresh and delicious. I'm so happy we ended up here! We will both be back very soon. Thank you for the gift card for winning trivia night!

I see they have a new menu. I must say if they can make burgers and chicken sandwiches they should be making the pizza they once had too. The food was very good. The sandwich tasted fresh, the fries were unique and well seasoned. The prices were also pretty good for downtown. Definitely a great place get some classmates together for a lunch if you’re in the U of T area

Dropped by on a weekday night to have a late dinner with friends. The server was so lovely and the food was fantastic! We ordered a burger each and everyone thought the dishes were well portioned and reasonably priced. Definitely plan to come back again in the future

Great new spot for grabbing lunch or dinner. Fun inside style and vibes with a focus on local sprints and for added fun wine and sangria on tap. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the neighborhood. Looking to return myself soon.
