A "small and sweet" cubby of a bar, Ossington's "hidden watering hole" dates to before the 'hood got hip but retains its "tacky-chic" vintage decor; it draws "hipsters" and "young locals" who pick tunes on the eclectic jukebox and chat up the "welcoming" staff over an affordable "beer and shot."

Whether you... more
If a dirty living room full of hipsters is your scene, this is the bar for you. We're talking badly cracked walls, lamps that should be in an old house, bathrooms that smell, no reak, of urine, a really chilled out atmosphere, really friendly service, and great tunes. The bar, stools, tables and chairs look like those you'd find in a small vintage diner. The lighting is dim.A word of... more
