Best Pub in Toronto?
 
Im heading West to the Toronto for a few days this month and wondered what the cognoscenti thought were the best pubs in Toronto.

Of course this is subjective but for the record Im a real ale lover who is more of a brown pub kind of guy.

Any thoughts or suggestions welcome.

Oh and I'll be staying downtown.

Thanks

Hi, I'm not sure what you mean by a brown pub, but C'est What? has a large number of brown-nosing real ale / microbrewery afficienados.

dbd33 will be along soon with the definitive answer though.

Downtown.

Most beers and ciders: C'est What? Wear a beret, carry a volume of poetry in another language.

Snap! or Jinx! or whatever it is here.

Bar Volo also offers a range of beer but you'll feel you've bought the building, not just the beer.

If I may offer a stronge negative suggestion, the Beer Bistro, if not yet bankrupt, deserves to be.

Sorry. Been out with the dog.

Define "we". I don't know it at all.

On edit, I don't think I'd wander sight unseen into a place called Bar Volo, ignorant as I am about what Volo might mean in the current language of the street.

Queen and Beaver.

The Queen and Beaver on Elm Street - Good food, reasonable range of beer (according to OH) and if you are into watching football they show live matches - at Stupid o`Clock !

I haven't lived in Toronto for over 15 years but this place always had good real ale

http://casktoronto.wordpress.com/events/

and it looks like they are combining a real ale/curry night that has ties to St Georges Day

Here is the Volo blog

If ever in the Outaouais here is a good pub

Not downtown, but Allen's on Danforth has an excellent range of beers, and a lovely patio to boot.

How have I missed that pub. I've been down that road umpteen times and have never noticed it.
