Josie's Sports Bar & Cafe — Restaurant in Toronto

This rundown depressing bar is the worst experience I've ever had. The old lady bartender/owner was sitting in front of the bar with her legs up on a chair watching TV with the only 2 customers in there and one of them had to tell her that I'm waiting to be served. I asked for double vodka with sprite, she opens a flat bottle of sprite and pours it in first then supposedly two shots. I did not taste a bit of alcohol and finished the flat sprite in a minute, it was completely watered down. I told her to pour me another drink from another vodka bottle that was unopened and wow could I taste the alcohol, I had to sip it like how you do with any double drink. When I told her that I figured the opened vodka bottle which had a quarter left was watered down, she became extremely defensive and snapped at me. Then she cut me off after 2 shots as I'm not counting the watered down shots. I'm not sure how this business is still open with such poor service and nothing to make it a pleasant experience, no music, no set up just a tv with CP24. It's as lively as a clinic waiting room.

Me and 5 of my boys got together for the first time in a long time. Did some sick stuff earlier but needed to find a place to hang our hats and grab a shot and a brew. Well, beer led to more beer, as they say.

We stayed until closing that night. Normally we would have departed sooner, but Josie was taking such good care of us, we were enjoying ourselves too much to leave. We mingled with the regulars a bit, had a blast playing shuffle board and chilling on the patio.

This bar has been going strong for 38 years, as per Josie herself. To me, it was no surprise. Even through my blurred vision, I could see how passionate, strong and genuine this petite Italian woman was. You should come here if only introduce yourself to the lovely owner. You won't miss her: she's 4 feet of concrete, and she'll get ya'...
