Through a quirk of history, the Junction was a dry district for most of the 20th century. In 1997, its citizens voted to bring back the booze—Axis was a pioneer in introducing nightlife to the neighbourhood. On the sidewalk patio, you can stare triumphantly over your pitcher at the sober parishioners attending the Baptist church opposite. In addition to conventional events (Tuesday is wing and open-jam night), Juno winner Julian Fauth plays blues on a battered upright piano during brunch (noon to 3 p.m. on weekends). The usual Canadian, Irish and Belgian suspects are on tap.
