Army.ca Meeting & Greeting in Toronto

[proudnurse]

I was doing a little search here this morning, of some different Pubs in the area  ;D I've posted the links so here are a few ideas to start with! Dan, you had mentioned the one Pub is the "Duke and something..." could it possibly be the last link that I had posted? I looked for places with the word "Duke" in it.

All good choices for RV spots. i'll start a detailed recce on all of them to check for.... ahem suitability this weekend. I realise it's a crappy job involving long hours at each place to judge the ammenities  but nothing is to good for this group. 8)

 

[tree hugger]

Thaks for the sacrifice! 

 

[medicineman]

And all of these bars do allegedly exist at their alleged addresses right?

That would be why I'm doing a detailed recce prior. Don't they teach Battle Proceedure to you yung un anymore?  ;D

 

[marshall sl]

Any excuse to hit the Bar!!! :cheers: You haven't changed at all :nana:

Get really good directions while you are at it!! And maps too!! And phone #s. Remember I'm the girl who had to make 30 calls to you guys on my cellphone to have you guide me into Guelph properly...and I still managed to miss Bruce waving me down on the freaking sidewalk!!

Perhaps, you're better off just to give me the east coast directions that I'm used to deciphering & using...over left, head on up here, turn right, past upteenth white house, here!!

I know Toronto not at all.  :-[

 

[medicineman]

I was of course refering to the place of changed existence from the last Toronto meet - this time I'll have the address in hand as well as any potential new names to said establishment  ;D.

Despite the name change it actually turned out to be a good night.  Luckily I got the phone call to let me know about the new name before I actually got there though.  ;D

 

[Scratch_043]

Too bad ToRN,

14th April will also be the first weekend I'll be off while on my course in St Jean; I could even have been the Taxi service!! I like 14 April!!

;D

wait... what??

 

[armyvern]

wait... what??

Trust me dude, much different course from yours!! 
But hey, if you decide to forgo your first weekend off with your buddies (and they will be buddies by that point in time), whip me a PM; I'll drive.

Thanks Dan! Oh and "Tree Hugger" That place you posted the "Link" for, I nominate that one also Looks like a great place! Torn, if you are reading this... I hope you do follow Vern's advice and come out to TO, we all don't get these chances to get together too often!

[Scratch_043]

ouch, my arm.... we'll see

 

[x-grunt]

Really, imagine being able to say "we'll see..." to a Warrant Officer while on your BMQ? Brave lad...  ;D
Think of the cool factor when your platoon finds out you're being whisked away for leave by a Snr. NCO!

 

[Scratch_043]

I haven't sworn in yet (tomorrow at 1230) so I can still be a pain in the ass to everyone for the next 12 hours or so.

 

[Blindspot]

Some more pubs you might want to consider:

The Rose and Crown - Yonge and Eglinton; lots of space, good fare, central location
Scruffy Murphy's - Yonge and Eglinton; lots of space, Irish fare, central location
Allen's - Danforth and Broadview; probably need reservations, excellent fare, central location (arguably one of the best pubs in the city)

 

[Journeyman]

St Louis Bar & Grill
2050 Yonge Street
Toronto, ON M4S 1Z9
(just a couple blocks south of Eglinton)

My favourite place for wings on this, or the next three, planets - - I don't share this info with just anyone, mind you 

 

[Danjanou]

St Louis also does a fine prime rib as I recall. Good patio place too.

Allens is nice and the backyard patio is great for summers. Food is tolerable and it gets quite crowded and between that the band and the jukebox not the best place for conversation. BTW I would seriouly doubt it's one of the best pubs in the city.

Scruffys and the Rose are also crowded and way too "Young and Eligible" for a serious get together. Now if this ain't a smoker but a cougar hunt then either would make a great ORV considering their proximity to the Chicken Deli, Cougar Central for Downtown TO.

I'm leaning towards the one on John Street now, but max flex.

 

[the 48th regulator]

Well up the road, right off of Eglington, near the Chickn' Deli is a great brew pub.
