Loons Restaurant & Pub
- 416 Roncesvalles Ave. (at Howard Park Ave.) • View on map »
- 416-535-8561
The beautiful etched-glass exterior makes a great first impression, and Loons lives up to its promise. The consummate neighbourhood watering hole, this Roncesvalles pub draws its fair share of regulars. And it’s no wonder: the bartender seems to know everyone by name (or at least by their drink order), and there’s always a friendly crowd on hand for an after-work pint. Framed newspaper clippings featuring local lore add to the community feel. Active types partake in rousing shuffleboard sessions, compete in video golf tournaments and play DJ on the jukebox; you can also catch the game on one of six TVs. Sports-themed events and regular live Friday music jams (where patrons can join in) add variety. The kitchen dishes up standard pub fare—burgers, chicken wings, onion rings—along with pierogies (this is Roncey, after all). Twelve beers and ales available on tap include Guinness and Caffrey’s, along with plenty of domestic brews. A heated backyard patio seats 90.
