The Rose & Crown: Friendly neighborhood pub at Yonge & Eg!
Yonge and Eglinton: Most people see this uptown Toronto area as posh with expensive little Italian restaurants and chic boutiques. In the midst of the swankiness is The Rose & Crown - a cozy, comforable pub sans attitude. Great staff, affordable and the grub is delicious (try their nachos with chili)! The kitchen is open till 1am on weekends and I have eaten just about everything on the menu and I can tell you this is one of the best bar food I've ever eaten. They do open at 9am on Saturday and Sundays with a brunch menu till 3pm.
I find their busiest nights are from Thursday to Sunday nights, frequented by young and old alike - its a bustling little bar and the vibe is friendly and laid back. For your listening pleasure, there is a live band that plays on Sunday nights called The Spivs. For your 'whacking' pleasure, they have 2 Golden Tee arcade machines in a side room towards the back. And for those you can't leave your laptops at home, The Rose is WiFi friendly!
The Rose & Crown is located at 2335 Yonge Street. Check out their site: www.roseandcrown.com
