Update: patios are now open!
Neighbourhood bar with welcoming patrons. (Lots of regularsā¦. Arrive a stranger, leave friends). Your hosts Alice (owner) and Claudia and Cubby (although I have only been going here for a few weeks) are fantastic⦠non judgemental, genuine and friendly (names used with their permission).

Be sure to meet John, a local legend and an excellent ambassador for...

She also was very kind in letting us bring our own pizza and birthday cake, which worked great for us.
And shout out to Yue who was super kind and helpful in the planning and takedown process as well.
Thanks so much for such a great...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreWent to Alice on a quiet and gloomy Tuesday evening for happy hour, after hearing good things from a friend and was pleasantly surprised! Very cozy and romantic atmosphere! The food was delicious! By far, one of the most properly cooked salmons I've had in the city, buttery in the inside and crispy on the outside. The drinks were all so well balanced, especially the Chilli Espresso Martini! And to top it all off, the service from Shar was so attentive and polite, felt very welcomed but not overbearing. Will...
