Saint John's Tavern

We dropped in during the Cabbage Town Festival when I saw the ‘Murphy’s Beer’ sign. It’s my all-time favourite beer (with Kilkenny & Innis & Gunn’s Rum Flavoured beer close seconds and thirds). Besides, we were peckish so decided to share a plate of Taco’s with a side of guacamole ($5) and tiny pieces of hardly-noticeable-chicken ($8!!). The food was a little soggy and on the cold side, but a reasonable companion for a beer (tho would have had at least one more pint if the taco’s were anything like the ones we make at home - strategically stacked larger crispy taco chips, each with a portion of grated cheese, jalapeño and sliced black olives with non-chargeable side dips of guacamole, sour cream and salsa - hint hint!). Anyhow, the band at the booth next to the Pub at the festival were top-notch plus the street was busy and the atmosphere was rocking (+ we met a couple of nice people for a good chat).

Staff is so kind, accomodating and friendly. I've been here a few time and continue to got back if I'm in the area. Food is also fresh, well flavored and I never go home hungry. They also hold events for different groups that are very friendly and community friendly. Lastly they have many board games if that's your vibe. What a beautiful cozy atmosphere, people and food. Highly suggest.

Very nice pie 'n a pint(or 5) on the way to The Phoenix Club to see the Paul James! Staff and owner were all very nice...great service.
