Mick E Fynn’s

came here tonight with a large group. We had a skilled server. She even let us know there was gratuity already added on our bills! I thought that was a gracious touch, rather than omit that info. The fries are good. There’s a vast beer selection. And cider too.

— Solid pub-​style restaurant. A pound of wings for $ 12.99 was intimidating, but I had the waitress pick a style (breaded or naked) and a sauce for me because it was my first time here. I also ordered a side of onion rings. She chose a breaded wing with their Fire & Ice sauce (a honey-​garlic sauce mixed with hot). The food was really good. The waitress was attentive and I couldn’t have asked for a better service.

Let’s be honest, this place sucks… but that’s what makes it so awesome!
It’s a large bar, that has a dance floor sometimes, and pool tables. People get trashed here at night and that is how it should be. The servers and bartenders aren’t what you would call ‘refined’ but then they shouldn’t be. This place is super dingy. It looks run down inside and if you’re on the patio you’re going to get harassed by panhandlers and weirdos.
Luckily they have this super nice bouncer who keeps things chill in there. I had a buddy that lost his jacket one time, and the bouncer let the guy skip the line to go look for it. It was a stand up move.
I’m sure that during the Maples Leafs tenure at the gardens, this place was amazing. It’s not now, but it is still fun. Just stick to nachos, chicken fingers and club sandwiches. Don’t expect the world from the back kitchen. If you want a slightly cooked apple floating in a top hat, go back to your douche-​hipster bar in Roncesvalle.
Also, it’s amazing in September when all the non-​rich Ryerson students go out to party.

This review is for the waitress. The food is pretty good. Im a person who is also working for tips and I say thank you to people who even tip nickels! I hate ungrateful people and I hate the fact that tipping is becoming a mandatory thing. This was my third time in this pub. The 2 first times I was served by this kind waiter. Attentive and polite. Today I went there in a really not busy kind of day. 6 customers in there including me with my bf. This old looking waitress who looked like a witch came over to greet us 10 minutes after we sat. She wasn’t busy at all. Food took forever to come (asked us 2 times to confirm our order-​get a pad if your memory is bad) and when it did, she just placed the plates on the table and left. She wouldn’t give us more than 2 minutes of her precious time. Rude. We were done and waited for her to come so we can ask for the bill but she took forever and we were clearly done cause the plates were empty. obviously I didn’t want to tip her cause she didn’t deserve it. But I did. And when she came to pick up the cash on the table, she counted it, DIDN’T SAY A WORD, and walked away shaking her head. I really liked this place and I have tipped pretty good the other two times I have been there but if you want a decent tip you have to work for it. Nobody hands you money for being a bitch. If you want to work in the Food service industry you need to step up your game. And it’s sad to see an older person than me who has probably been in the industry longer than me not know how to earn tips. EARN.

I came here to have a few glasses of red wine after work, and had a female bartender who greeted me, who technically did not greet me but tapped on the bar and asked what I wanted. When I asked what types of red wine they had she turned away and said she’d bring a menu. That’s when a nice gentleman chipped in and told me off his memory what wine they had. I made a choice and the rest of my evening went well until I had to pay with by debit card. Apparently, in 2016 there are bars downtown who do not accept debit cards. When I said I did not want to pay for their ATM machine fees and rather walk to over to TD ATM next door he raised his eyeibrows and said «a dollar and fourty five cents?». First of all, it is an inconvenience to me not to use my debit card at a bar. Second, it is upsetting that I had to endure that attitude towards me for simply not wanting to pay their ATM machine fees. Raise your trashy white standards guys.

Generic Irish Bar which had meh beer (the special for domestic pitchers only started at 10), meh food and the hockey game on way too loud.

Drinks are cheap, food is surprisingly delicious. I say surprisingly because I honestly never expect anything above average when ordering food at a dive-​y college bar. Recently 3 of us ordered a plate of nachos and were impressed that they did not seem to skimp on any nacho ingredients as most pubs we’ve been to do. Serving size was pretty generous as well. We may have had a couple drinks in us but those nachos were pretty damn good.
Staff is extremely friendly. Everybody I’ve ever encountered at Fynn’s was a total sweetheart and actually really enthusiastic. That attitude does not go unnoticed!
All things considered, this place is definitely a neighborhood college bar. Great place if that’s what you’re into.

This place needs a make over. It stinks like old grease. The menus are not clean and the drinks are over priced. A $ 7.00 shot? In this neighborhood? I don’t even pay that in NYC.
We ordered the nachos for the table and they were not good, kind of burnt. I will not be going back to this establishment. I guess the Ryerson crowd keeps it going and they must not be such a discerning crowd, because for regular people this place is pretty crappy. And on a Tuesday evening in Christmas week, the place was dead dead dead. You would think that it would be crazy busy with the hockey game on and all.
The server was really good and friendly though. At least they had that going for them. With the beautiful Pogue Mahone’s right down the street (stupid of us not to go there), we will NEVER come back here.

I had a big, thirsty group (Toronto Outdoor Club) to take care of after we finished ice skating across the street. Called up Mick E Fynn’s to give them a heads up on our needs in advance. We arrived and everything was ready for us. The server was wonderfully attentive and funny to boot. She handled all our requests expeditiously.
In addition to excellent staff, this place has a great selection of food and drinks for all to enjoy. No wonder it has been serving the neighbourhood for so many years. Looking forward to many more return visits.

We needed a beer and some grub after a long flight. We were pointed here. We needed food, but did not have much in the way of expectations. They exceeded everything.
The service was good and friendly. The beer came quickly and our server had made a good rcommendation.
We ordered potato skins and fish and chips. Both exceeded our expectations. The tartar sauce was home made.
Although the music was a bit loud, it came from our era. We had a great time and got some food and drink after a long day. First good choice of the trip.

Stopped in after watching a movie at the Carlton theatre, fast service with reasonably priced beer. Very friendly waitress who was very attentive to not only us but all the other patrons around us. Had the Banquet Burger with fries and it was really good, little pricey but location and service definitely made it worth the price. Only downside was no debit payment. Only cash or credit, there is an ATM on site for withdrawals but the service charge makes you a little wary. Debit is a not for profit organization so it is puzzling why they wouldn’t have one. I would definitely like to come back on a nice day and try sitting on the patio for lunch. All in all a great place to grab dinner after a movie.

I come here once in awhile after grocery detail at the huge Loblaws across the street. The nice bartender has always remembered my drink order (Keith’s pint). A sweet guy told me after a nerve wracking interview that I got the job. I didn’t. I still have a post-​grocery pint once in awhile. Quick service and clean bathrooms. Can’t speak to the food though.

This place is a what you see is what you get kind of joint. It’s a great atmosphere. I went for my birthday with a bunch of pals, watched the hockey game then drank and boogied to the juke box. I will warn you that during the school year, it is somewhat of a Ryerson pub, but I would definitely go back. Service was great too! Can’t comment too much on the food cause we just went to drink.

Fynn’s is your typical «college pub», it’s right up the street from Ryerson and across from Maple Leafs Garden. The pub has had a resurgence since the rink has opened above Loblaws, so if you’re looking to grab a quiet pint, this is not the place.
I’ve never eaten the food, and I’m not even sure I would want to given the state of the floor and run down interior. The bathrooms need a little help, so if you can hold it, hold it.
The best thing about this place… the beer is cheap and cold.

If you’re looking to get hit on by a scrubby lookin dude and probably contract hepatitis from every surface… this is the place for you.
This is how I imagine a bar would be if it were run by Rob Ford

So, after enjoying 2 bottles of wine on another patio nearby, my friend and I decided to stop in here for ‘one more drink’, before heading home.
Looks like your average pub, and when we arrived, it was close to 11pm. We were seated at a high top for 2, next to another group of about 3 or 4 people. The music wasn’t terribly loud and the atmosphere was «pubby», kinda what you’d expect in a pub.
So, as we sat at our hightop waiting for our server, my friend decided to walk up to the bar and order our drinks, at which point, she was told that she couldn’t order drinks at the bar and that she had to go back to our table and wait for our server… ummm, what?! Anyway, she came back to the table and we waited for about 5 minutes longer before our server stopped by our table. We each ordered a pint and a pound of wings to share — medium. The beer was good, but the wings were a little too hot (for my friend) not for me. To be fair, we ordered medium and they were quite hot… I suspect there may have been a mix up with our order… not a biggie for me, but if you’re not expecting your wings to be hot…
The washrooms was pretty disgusting, just old and very dated… needs a paint job, new flooring — something!
To be honest, we were expecting this place to be a lot better than it turned out. However, after being told we couldn’t order drinks from the bartender AT THE BAR, and receiving the wrong wings, my friend was hit on by some old drunk dude as we were leaving… this was the highlight of our visit and worth a well deserved laugh (and thus an extra star for this review).

I went here a few years back for some ‘grub’ and I remember it being average pub food at average pub prices.
I went here again last weekend on Saturday night, didn’t stay that late, till about midnight, and wasn’t particularly impressed.
It wasn’t very crowded, but that was actually a good thing as we weren’t there to get drunk (3 of us weren’t even drinking at all that night, myself included).
We played pool and foozball. The Foozball was one of the absolute worst tables I have ever seen, rickety, in dim light, with the ball getting stuck on its way in and there’s a little cage around it so you won’t steal the balls. It costs 50 cents a game which I guess is fine but it lasts about 2 minutes. It’s also right next to the washrooms.
The pool was better however there are only 3 tables and $ 2 a game.
The whole experience is all very average.
Good because it’s downtown and not filled to the brim with people but also not a particularly fun or exciting place. I wouldn’t mind checking it out on a night where there is a party or event to see if it gets any better.
It’s a solid choice if you’re in the hood and looking for an average place to have a beer.
One thing they had which I’ve never seen before is a boxing game which is ridiculous at $ 1 per 2 punches. Being an average height girl there with all strong men, I thought it was a long boxing match so I hit it once, softly and got a «baby» score at 5 whereas my fella hit it and got a 738 score. Then the other people playing pool saw it and wanted to play so that was cue to get out, there wasn’t enough left to do there any more.

This is an OK bar, their wings are good, go for the hot ones, rather than ‘suicide’. Their suicide wings are made with military grade chili which is served on the side. I saw a guy carelessly dip a crudite into this particularly vicious sauce. His throat caught fire and they had to put it out with half a pint of milk which they keep under the bar in front of anyone foolish enough to order them.
Additionally, at all costs say ‘no’ if they ask you if you’d like their breaded wings. Under the fried flour these are the fattiest lumps of unpleasantness that you will ever put in your mouth.
The staff are pleasant enough and they have all the usual Canadian beers. This is really a place for locals or somewhere to get away from the bar at the Holiday Inn if you need to rather than a venue as such.

I really can’t believe this place still exists. It’s a straight-​laced grungy pub across from old Maple Leaf Gardens just off the beaten path from the Gay Village.
The food is typical pub fare with no flair.
You can select your own music from the jukebox, which you can view as a positive (if you’re willing to shell out the cash) or a negative (if you’re friend wants to play AC DC’s «You Shook Me All Night Long» over and over again).
The wait staff try their best to pretend they’re not working in a crap pub next to the weird 60s fryer smell of Golden Griddle next door.
Did I mention it’s grungy?
The prices are decent, so drop by if you’re looking for a certain type of atmosphere and to try it out for yourself. Maybe it’s just that I’m becoming a snob…

I have been there in the past but most recently during Gay Pride weekend. I had a large group of people with me. Service was slow but considering it was Pride weekend we were in no rush and we were happy to chill and rest our poor aching backs from standing and walking up and down Church St. ha!
I had the wings and fries. The wings were hot and tasty but the fries could have been cooked longer. My friends liked the beer selection and prices. They enjoyed playing pool. The rest of us took over part of the patio! ha!
Considering how busy the place was, the bathrooms were still reasonably clean! Our lovely server was still helpful and pleasant considering how stressed out she was! We defended her against another table of drunks! We did have one random guy sit at the end of our table who was getting really mouthy in an ugly kind of way. so I went to the door guys and they got him to move from our area.
