This selection rightfully belongs in the Toronto "classics" category. For those of you that know me well, this is by far my favourite bar in Toronto. What's not to like? Its location, right in the heart of Yorkville, is excellent. There are four patios, which is priceless when the weather finally gets better (whenever that might be!). Best of all, its relaxed, the crowd is fun, and most importantly, the drinks are wonderfully strong. The most delicious by far is the Caesar - my American friends are probably not familiar with this exclusively Canadian delicacy. The Caesar was invented at the Owl's Nest Bar at the Calgary Inn (now the Calgary Westin Hotel) in 1969 (go Calgary!) and has been served mainly in Canada ever since. The cocktail consists of vodka, clamato juice, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco, and is served on the rocks in a large celery salt rimmed glass garnished with a stalk of celery and a wedge of lime. What?! Yes, deelish. One other place the Caesar is served - Las Vegas (told you its perfect).
