Mick E Fynn's — Restaurant in Toronto

I’ve been coming to this establishment for about a year now. I always tip generously and show respect, especially as someone who also works in the service industry and understands how demanding it can be. Unfortunately, my experience with Niko has been deeply disappointing and, frankly, upsetting.

Over multiple visits, Niko has made derogatory remarks toward me and has even spread false narratives about my behavior. This includes inappropriate comments to other patrons, implying things that simply weren’t true. I usually come in quietly, with one other person, to enjoy a pitcher or two—nothing disruptive. Despite that, I’ve been the target of his bullying and mean-spirited behavior.

It’s especially disheartening considering I’ve always shown him kindness and tipped him well. Meanwhile, I’ve witnessed him soliciting drinks for himself from customers, which feels incredibly unprofessional given how he treats some patrons.

No one should feel uncomfortable or targeted at a place they’re choosing to spend their time and money. I hope management takes these concerns seriously because every customer deserves to feel safe and respected.

Continued Review of Niko (Staff Member):

Over time, I’ve experienced and witnessed a series of inappropriate and troubling behaviors from Niko that go far beyond unprofessionalism—they border on harassment and create an unsafe environment for patrons.

Here is a list of specific incidents that reflect his conduct: • Drinking on the job: Niko has openly taken shots in front of customers who are waiting to order. While waiting isn’t the issue, watching a staff member take shots while working is highly unprofessional and, to my understanding, violates Ontario’s Smart Serve guidelines and liquor licensing laws. I’ve never seen anything like this in any licensed establishment. • Derogatory name-calling: He referred to me as a “bird” to my partner—a deeply offensive slang term that implies a woman is only good for sex. This was not only inappropriate but deeply humiliating. • Passive-aggressive behavior toward guests: He once threw coasters onto my table and made a rude comment that implied I was somehow inconveniencing him, simply because I hadn’t handed back my empty glass immediately. As someone who has worked in restaurants and bars for years, I’m always mindful of helping staff—not hindering them. His behavior in that moment was intentionally condescending. • Sexualized, bizarre comments: He told my boyfriend that he was wearing a handkerchief from his “first threesome.” This kind of comment is not only wildly inappropriate in any workplace—it’s disturbing and creates a very uncomfortable, almost threatening atmosphere.

Across all of these encounters, there’s been a consistent feeling that something is off. Whether it’s erratic behavior, inflated ego, or something else, it feels like Niko is using his role at this establishment to gain power over guests, rather than to provide good service. It’s deeply concerning, and honestly, it feels unsafe.

As someone who also works in hospitality, I know how hard this job can be—but Niko is not just having a bad day. This is a pattern. I urge management to take this seriously, not just for me, but for the safety and comfort of...

I would like to introduce you to MickyFynns, a quaint bar that emanates a charming vintage atmosphere. Upon entering, you will notice two dirty restrooms that require some attention. The two pool tables have been well-loved and bear the marks of years of enjoyment, with stains from spilt beer adding to their character. However, cue sticks have been used so frequently that some patrons prefer to bring their own. The establishment does not have air conditioning, but two large fans circulate the warm air throughout the space while the front doors remain open.

It's also worth mentioning that there are a few friendly mice who call MickyFynns home, such as my pal Billy. While they may not be paying rent, they are a beloved part of the bar's character. I have attached a photo of Billy for your reference. Lastly, it's worth noting that the jukebox is not available for customer use. However, the bar does have a curated playlist featuring a diverse mix of hipster and skater music that you may find enjoyable.

In the preceding posts, a number of people expressed their concerns regarding a specific bartender by the name of Niko. Niko is recognized for his lengthy hair, unappealing homemade tattoos, and slender frame. He spends his off days going back to the same bar for drinks and has the IQ of a peanut. He has several special disabilities so try to be nice to him, even after he tells you off for not tipping good enough. The person who rents the space and presents himself as the “owner” is a moron. Despite the filthy condition of his bar, he boasts about it as if he is a thriving entrepreneur. However, his wife has to work a second full-time job, which indicates otherwise.

If you are currently seeking employment, I would like to bring to your attention an excellent job opportunity available at this establishment. They regularly have job openings for the positions of cooks and servers, which I highly recommend you consider applying for. In the event that you are selected for the position, you will be compensated with a very competitive salary of $16 per hour. Alongside this, you will have the opportunity to work with an exceptional team in a filthy environment. However, it is important to note that you will be expected to adhere to the instructions and guidelines provided by the management and owners at all times in a disciplined manner. When instructed to bark like a dog, it is expected that you comply with the command. Attached is an email about how the management and proprietors would exhibit the utmost professionalism and proficiency in their communication with you.

By the way, I have videos of the filthy bar kitchen, which uses expired dark black oil for frying the mouth-watering delicacies, as well as the filthy bathrooms. Additionally, I have captured video footage of my friend Billy the Mouse and his many companions playing hide-and-seek after the bar closes. Unfortunately, I couldn’t upload the videos due to their large file size, but I will definitely share them on forums and other...

Awful customer service. My boyfriend and I showed up on a Saturday night for a costume contest they were hosting, and the winner would receive a free pair of Leafs tickets. We arrived at 9pm, and confirmed that the contest was still on because no one else in the bar was wearing a costume, the waitress said it was still on. As the night went on, we ordered multiple drinks with our friends, ordered food, and played 8 games of pool. Around 11:30pm, I asked when they would announce the winner of the contest as we were still the only people in the bar wearing a costume. She said they had to wait until 1:30am in case more people showed up. We decided to wait it out hoping we still had a good chance of winning, and because we are Leafs fans and students who can't afford to go to a game. We ordered another drink and played more pool. Now it is 12:30am and still no one has come in wearing a costume. at 1:10am, another couple comes into the bar dressed in costumes. The women (who looked to be barely old enough to drink) was dressed as Auston Powers. When she found out from the bar tender that there was a costume contest going on and that we were their only competition, she said that she wanted to do a performance to tip the scale in their favour. She had the bar play her selected song, began to dance awkwardly with her partner weirdly videotaping her with a flash light. She then ripped off her pants, wearing nothing but a union-jack speedo underneath and danced seductively in front of everyone in the bar. What seemed to be the manager asked us if we would like to do a performance following her to which we obviously denied. The bar did a "staff vote" and gave the tickets to Auston Powers. My boyfriend and myself were extremely upset and heartbroken. We had been there for almost 6 hours, spent quite a bit of money with ordering drinks food and playing pool, brought our friends who also ordered drinks, and they chose someone who was there for barely 20 minutes and didn't even know there was a contest on for tickets! They took their tickets and left. I am never going back there again, and neither are my family or friends. I didn't know stripping was a part of the costume contest. What awful...
