Allen’s
Since 1987, this East Toronto bar and restaurant, steps from Broadview station, has served up whiskey, beer, wine and food to both locals and those in the neighbourhood for a show at the adjacent Danforth Music Hall. The menu focuses on naturally-raised organic meats and Ontario produce, and is more ambitious than your regular pub fare, with calf liver, lamb shank and a selection of curries alongside the pub standards like burgers and fish and chips. The bar features a wide selection of whiskies, and over 100 wines and 140 kinds of beer. In better weather, the tree-filled backyard patio features a dedicated chef cooking your meal over charcoal, and a local-specialty based menu that changes daily.
