Shoxxs 2827 Dundas St. w. (Dundas /Keele)
It was after a long day of volunteering with Team Depot on one of our wonderful projects that we decided that we needed a drink after work and some food. This place was close by so we went. Any reader's who work at the "Depot" know this place very, very well. It is the place where everyone goes for a drink after work, pool on thursdays,birthday's, and if anyone leaves(quits) the depot, this is the place that they go.
It is not your typical corner pub/bar, what I mean is that it is not a rundown hole in the wall, it is kept up very well. It has a new owner, and he seems to be keeping the regulars very happy. They have a huge bar to sit at, lots of TV screen's, and pool tables ( more than one).
We came this day, there was a bunch of us, and we sat in a both. I ordered a bottle of white wine that day, had a feeling for white wine. The staff seemed a little confused, because they were searched behind the bar for awhile, little did I know they were trying to find something to put my bottle in. It seems not alot of people order bottles of white wine there. What did they find you ask? They found an old container that you would put a champagne bottle in from the 1940's. It was almost too big for the booth. My friends just all shook their heads. I don't think I will ever hear the end of it.
The food here what can I say. Its pub food, but it is pretty good. Burgers, fries, nothing spectacular.
I think this is more of a meeting place for friends and that's ok.
I will come here again, not necessaryily for the food, but just because I like the atmosphere.
1 happy face
