There's the floor tables, which, if I'm being honest, could be set up in a little more organized fashion but I suspect they may do music here or something and the seating needs to be a little more fluid. The bar seating though is really cool. Slightly elevated and then sitting around the cylindrical bottle shelves and display. The bartender was a nice, young guy who wasn't super knowledgeable about the drinks and ingredients necessarily but was cool to talk to. Drinks were definitely fun and interesting and not terribly priced. Probably not my favorite bar in the city but I'd go back if I was in the area.

I wanted to have supper on a patio yesterday and was thinking about the upper patio of the Brazen…read moreHead (I'd been there before) and that's where I headed. I got settled in with a beer and Gord joined me. When I looked at the menu, I realized that this was no longer the Brazen Head but was now the Black Sheep.  The menu is a lot smaller and there's none of the pub grub I was expecting and looking forward to.  But we were comfy and stayed put. Gord ordered a Vietnamese Shrimp Cocktail and I ordered a Margherita pizza and asked to have pepperoni added.  Both were really good and we'd get them again. The beer wasn't very cold so we ordered a cocktail.  Gord ordered an Optimist and I ordered The Tattel Tell.  They were tasty and fun. Amber was our server ... she was friendly and helpful.

I've been to Zui Beer multiple times now, and it's one of my favourite places to go with a group of…read morefriends when we're planning a night out. The atmosphere is always fun, and it's really set up for people who want to hang out for a few hours. One thing I love is that they sell decks of cards for only $2, and they'll even give you dice shakers for free if you're playing drinking games. It's such a small detail, but it makes the whole experience even better. We usually order the 3-litre beer towers for $55, which are perfect for sharing and always end up being the centre of the table.

I booked my birthday party here for 30+ people and Eddy and his team were so accommodating!

They gave me the entire back end of the bar + a booth, let us decorate the area, and gave us all the materials we needed for our cake. Our server was amazing. She was so nice and tended to all 30+ of us. She was constantly around and was always refilling the waters and cleaning the tables. The tacos, nachos, and the cocktail drinks are great. Would highly recommend this bar for a special day. My entire party had a great time here.

4.5/5 overall The…read moregood: great bar to hang out with friends, fits a group of 6 well! Atmosphere was great, vibe was good! Lots of good beers on tap! The bad: ordered four cocktails, one of which I do not recommend - peardise lost. Tasted more like cough medicine gone bad The meh: the rest of the drinks were pretty average. We ordered Sunken Island (tasted like piña colada, Nijikai (good infusion of Japanese drinks together), and proper pimms cup (easy to drink, exactly as the menu describes it). Also ordered the LC nachos, large amount that was easy to share amongst our group of 6. What to know: they have food from la carnita (whom are attached upstairs). If you have a big group, best to book ahead because table is limited. Overall not a bad experience. Great bar to go to if you are around the area :)

We made a point of checking out the buck-a-shuck special from 6-7PM so rushed down on Boxing Day 2025 to see how it compared to our recent trip to Ngogo in west Queen west. We were in for a treat! The oysters were fantastic! And the Yuzu slushie sauce that was house made went fantastic with its tangy lemony flavour. Very good! They also have some interesting takes on classic cocktails for $15 on Happy House special as well, but that will be another time. I like how roomy the place was with room for a DJ and dancing although I'm not sure that happens there, it's worth finding out. This definitely seems like a real gem in the hood as I can't think of anything quite like it. Go take a look and see what you think, trust me you will smile : )

We ordered two of their cocktails - and we found both great; good combination of flavours and excellent presentation. They had some constraints in the kitchen, so the food orders were taken late and some items were not available. I can say that the braai platters had an authentic taste; but with items missing, opportunity was lost for the truly authentic platter. Given the constraints, the service was excellent - friendly, and we were kept well up to date. Would love to come again.

Unfortunately, while the vibe was nice with cool live music... the drinks and staff need improvement. Our server seemed a bit off/rude and kept getting our bills wrong. The drinks we ordered (some suggested by server) were not very good. They need to find a better mixologist. We tried a few cocktails and I even ordered an expresso martini thinking that might be fairly standard? Everyone in my group tried drinks from each other and all agreed our drinks were bad. My expresso martini was so bad I couldn't even finish and just returned it. We only ordered fries, since we had dinner earlier so can't comment on food. Ended up leaving for another bar even though we could have ordered a few more cocktails. If you really want to try this place, I would suggest it for just beers. Good with friends for something casual but because of service I wouldn't bring a date, coworker or celebrate any special occasions. Really too bad, could have been a hot spot if they fix these things.

If you compared the menu picture and actual drinks you can tell It doesn't look that great. The drink was very heavy on syrup or soda because there was no alcohol in it. I should've just gone to a chain bar to be quite honest. The vibe wasn't bad in terms of music and set up. Im quite surprised the non-alcoholic drink my girlfriend got was over $10. It's just sugar syrup! The service is pretty poor as well. Once the drinks were dropped, we never heard from our server again. The bill came and we got charged 13-15% service charge. It was a bit unfair to be paying that when the menu didn't have any disclaimers about this charge whatsoever. Sketchy bar! We were also told once we seated that we would get charge a cover fee because they were having an event later that evening. Like what?! Clubs downtown would never charge cover if its before a certain time for people who were already in and they were going to charge us after they sat us down? Highly don't recommend unless you just want vibes. LOL you can get vibes anywhere else you go to be honest.

I came to Dou Yin Bar aka DY Bar during their Soft Opening the past Saturday. My friends and I had a great time! The live music was very entertaining. This night, the duo were singing mainly popular mandarin songs that we know. Occasionally, you will have some brave souls that will take over the mic for a song for two lol. The food is alright - Popcorn chicken and Cuttlefish balls are typical items we see during Asian karaoke lol. I say skip the Ham Egg Noodles, unless you are SUPER hungry, the noods were way too soft for my liking. The cocktail drinks are super pretty and some were quite delicious. Since it was BOGO free during Soft Opening (until Nov 10), we ordered all 10 cocktails lol. I would recommend Kimochii, Berry Lady and Snowball :) The staff hardly speaks English, so make sure you speak slowly and use simpler words. Bring a friend who can speak mandarin would be helpful. If you want one of those nice booths with white couches, the staff mentioned it is minimum spending of $300, but I'm not sure how it works if you have a larger group. Perhaps, the next UYE here?
