Wheat Sheaf Tavern
- 667 King St. W. (at Bathurst) • View on map »
- 416-504-9912
One of Toronto’s oldest bars, this brick building dates from 1849 and still has the pleasing feel of an old-time watering hole. The bar was a men‑only enclave until 1969, and the testosterone level remains high: guys congregate around the heavy wooden tables to quaff brew, watch sports and talk chicks. Sports blare from the 13 TVs, and photos of Canadian athletes grace the walls. Outside, a patio full of beer drinkers keeps watch over the Bathurst streetcar line.
