With exposed brick, and a carved and mounted rhino head on the wall, this Parkdale resto-lounge (in business since 1991) exudes the cozy ambience of a neighbourhood hangout. Such eclectic mains as salmon fillet topped with lemon pickle and harissa butter sauce, and spinach fettuccine with goat cheese cream sauce round out the menu’s other traditional pub offerings, which encompass curries, burgers and sandwiches. The long list of beers, at 335 offerings, covers the globe. Mains $9–$15.
