Penny’s

Love this little hole-​in-​the-​wall at Landsdowne and Bloor. It’s never too busy and for the most part the crowds aren’t that bad either. They have a great selection of local brews on tap and in cans with some pretty good prices too.
It might not be the most happening corner but this little bar brings some life to the area.
Oh PLUS I heard they are doing karaōke on Wednesday nights now! Gotta go see what that’s like!

A new low-​key local.
As Ciro’s is totally disgusting these days I was super-​duper happy to have a new local where I can sit at the bar and have a pint by myself or meet friends for after work drinks.
Music, when I’ve been there, has always been the staff’s ipod. Random good choices, and not too loud. Several tap choices and nice bottle/​can selection. (Kensington Watermelon, Granville Winter Ale, Boneshaker, Lugtread etc) Though I’m not a cocktail kinda person they have a lot of choice in that area as well.
Bathooms are clean and stocked and functional!
Apparently there is food though I’ve never seen a menu (maybe they could start printing/​posting one?) and there is a jam some night of the week, Tuesdays I think, but I’ve not been.
Overall a great place to go for a drink or 2 or more. No pretension, just a lovely local and welcome addition to Blansdowne.
Wish there was a patio but there is not.
