Eclectic doesn’t begin to describe this Queen West bar. Sparkly gold vinyl is combined with red leopard print, willow branch–covered walls at the back, and a floating mermaid over the bar; a stoplight hangs from the garish purple storefront. But unlike other bars on the strip, this decorative mishmash doesn’t look as though it was manufactured by high-end designers. On the contrary: it’s a comfortable home for genuinely impoverished artsy types, who get drunk on the cheap with $5.50 pints of eight local microbrews. Pitchers run from $15.50 to $17; bottles of Labatt 50 are $3.85. Most of the entrées—nothing fancy, but good value—are less than $10.
