Drinks & Nightlife

A tiny newly renovated Irish pub 3 blocks from our house. If you fancy a cheeky pint prior to heading downtown, this is the closest pub option. It is very small pub, so it's not good for large groups.

Sightseeing

This is one of the best spots in Toronto to get a great photo of the entire Toronto skyline. You can get right up to the water and see a full panorama shot of the downtown core. It's wise to go in the morning, so the sun is low on the horizon (less shadows on your face)........or at sunset when the sun backlights all the building.
