Annex bar, Sweet potato fries

Rated this place:

I’m here all the time. I love it. Enough said. Just go there.

The Vic serves up a massive basket of sweet potato fries and in about two seconds flat. They’re addictive.

Great Patio in the Annex

Rated this place:

Fantastic patio with a friendly, laidback atmosphere that always fills up fast. The food is always fantastic and they offer some great microbrews.

Warm Inside

Rated this place:

This Annex hotspot, built into an old house on a beautiful street, is awesome. They have a bunch of decent brews on tap, good food, average prices, two floors, live entertainment (poetry readings, theatre events, live music, other), a huge patio (which fills up fast most beautiful summer nights) and good service. A good place for intimate one-on-ones and group gatherings.

One of the best patios in Toronto

Rated this place:

The Victory was supporting the arts scene in Toronto long before the Drake came along, with regular jazz performances, poetry readings and a special attention to theatre. Plus: A huge patio, upscale pub grub, etc.

Pumpkin beer on draft

Rated this place:

It's autumn and I'm in a pumpkin frame of mind. They're friggin versatile: throw em, carve em, bake em, drink em. Have you tried pumpkin ale? You haven't? Make haste!

Bar food

Rated this place:

Specializing in burgers and fresh-cut fries the Victory Café offers 12 beers on tap. Take a seat on the patio (which seats 90) for Celtic music Thursdays and live jazz Fridays...

Food is very tasty and well priced, pubish fare but a bit out of the ordinary. Decent craft beer selection, great atmosphere and lovely staff.

Sunday brunch, once upon a time

Rated this place:

2 eggs, bacon (or the occasional fruit salad), homefries and beans don't get better. They just don't. Sunday, circa noon, is my time though....called it. Unfortunately, Victory does not serve brunch any longer (who knows why?!?!?!?!?!).

Annex bar

Rated this place:

Amazing patio outlooking gorgeous Markham St with relaxed atmosphere... Micro brewery beers, so just ask the server what you're in the mood for! (Great Orange Peel Beer.) Good place to chill with friends on a warm summer day or night...
