                <description><![CDATA[Don’t be put off by the name – this is a classy joint in downtown Toronto!  There are, however, brilliant discounts on offer with happy-hour drinks and a half-price dinner menu every day between 5 and 8 p.m.  <br><br><br>I enjoyed watching office workers hurrying home, sat on one of the bar’s terraces with a nice cold beer…<br><br>A great place to relax with your shopping and soak up the city’s vibe.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Yikes what a city! People are as cold as the weather. So many restrictions and laws that after a while you don't know which end is up. You can't even take your drink into the bathroom....against the law. So you have to leave it on a shelf somewhere and hope that no one spikes it. The police are brutal and bar security matches the anger of the citizens there. Now I know why tourism is almost non existant in Toronto. There is an area of downtown called 'the entertainment district'. It is a few square blocks devoted to nightlife.  On a Saturday night it is completely surrounded by police.  On foot on horse back and in cars.  They are rude pushy and should be avoided.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Homey, funky bar (29 people max!), formerly a Portuguese lunch counter. Drinks, talk, great music from the owners' sound system and the best juke box in TO, crokinole (more Canadian than hockey), scrabble. Get there before 9 when the hipsters take over. And catch the Saturday live music (5 to 7) - Django Reinhardt reincarnated wih a big surprise.]]></description>
