14 Duncan St, Toronto, ON M5H 3G8

This Entertainment District hotspot attracts a young crowd throughout the year with its party-like atmosphere and cheap drink specials. This place is known for its east coast charm, which means cheap pitchers of beer and Maritime musical acts that have revelers foot-stomping on the dance floor and atop the bar. If you need to soak up that cheap booze, the menu features plenty of Irish (by-way-of-Halifax) specialties like the Halifax Donair, deep fried Nova Scotia Pepperoni and Boddingtons steak and mushroom pie
