I don't drink alcohol so I can't comment on their drinks but my friend ordered a glass of beer. LIVE MUSIC -- I arrived at the start of a weekend (Friday evening) and the pub was already packed with people. I could tell immediately that Gormley's is a hometown and west side favourite bar. The two member band that played were greet and they kept the atmosphere of the bar lively. Gormley's has an upstairs and downstairs so there is lots of space to sit or stand. At one point, I went upstairs and stood on the small balcony which was nice due to the slightly warm weather on that evening. If you are looking for a pub to hangout with friends, drink responsibly, and even watch some sports on TV, then Gormley's is the spot for you. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 41/250 total reviews in 2026 - 882 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 23 April 2026

We ordered a whipped ricotta to start which was really delicious, I was eating with a fork once we ran out of bread haha Assorted dishes around the table included the veggie pasta, vodka pasta, lobster Mac, burger and Italian sandwich. Companions thought the Italian was a little dry and the burger was a little poorly constructed/falling apart. Otherwise, really no complaints! Both pastas were very good, I had the vodka with meatballs and really enjoyed it. Also huge portions, I took home basically half my plate. Meatballs weren't the best ever but did the job. The fries were also a highlight, like the best version of a McDonald's fry. Great experience if not for a few missed orders

We were at that moment told a table was available. We ultimately paid the bar tab and left to have dinner at Nuevo Acapulco. Guess we need to be sure to arrive earlier than 3h before closing next time.

The wine list is vast, offering variety for all budgets and pallets. Personally service is hit or miss, most of the wait staff are friendly and personable, but we have had a few rude encounters but they won't keep us from coming back, everyone needs wine, even on a bad day.

Super sad to write that Char is now called "Avo"......??? I came here last year when it was Char…read moreWhiskey Bar and LOVED it! Atmosphere was a wood, rustic, whiskey barrel feel and the food was great. Came back this year, and it was probably the most brutal restaurant experience I've had in a while. So Char is now called Avo Mexican, but they didn't change the atmosphere to replicate a Mexican place. It's still whiskey themed- with signs slapped on the old logo. They still have some of the old menu items from Char- which is so confusing too. When we walked in I asked the host if the bar was open seating. He said "oh I don't know" and walked away. We just sat at the bar since he didn't come back. We asked the Bartender what happened to Char and he said the owners wanted a rebrand. But it looked like a whiskey bar still....they didn't rebrand anything. I got a marg and my guy asked for a Mexican beer they used to have. Bartender said we haven't had that in a year. So they got rid of all their Mexican beers....? Even though they are now a Mexican place? So he ended up getting a Coors Light. My Marg lacked any sweetness or Agave. It was tequila and lime juice- poor bartender was struggling with 4 bar guests. It was kinda sad. I got a taco salad and my guy got a burger. He used to get the burger with fries, but now that it's Mexican, they only have chips. We had chips and guac for an app, so that was super annoying. Fries used to be really good. And who wants a burger without fries? Place wasn't busy, but our food took 35 minutes. Bartender kept apologizing and saying the kitchen was slammed. It clearly wasn't, I'm sure the cooks were adjusting to a new menu. Food was okay. Used to be really good, but I wouldn't recommend anymore. I guess they close at 8pm some days, because around 7:40 when we just had gotten our food, the bartender said it's last call. We were kinda laughing that they did a last call during normal dinner hours. My fiancé was considering getting another beer after dinner, but I guess they were closing...so weird. I've never seen a place close at peak dinner hours. No idea why they rebranded it. Confusing signage, food is not good anymore, drinks are bad, atmosphere doesn't make sense, menu is lackluster, service and kitchen are lacking, hours are bad. Sucks to write this, but I 100% will not be returning.

I love this bar, but it's got a certain vibe you have to surrender to: that musty smell of old…read morethrift-store 1970s furniture, sprawling down on couches set so low they're made for short 1960s people who were starved of nutrients because their mothers only fed them shimmering Jell-O meat molds, and the sense that you're not in a bar so much as a place assembled from fragments of some exploded Doctor Who TARDIS where it somehow assembled every 1960s sitcom into one patchwork locale. But! If you're willing to overlook all that - or, like me, crave it - then the drinks are pretty nice and pleasingly off-kilter, the service a little slow but friendly, and the people watching is top-notch. Just be warned that the bar is at the same address as the Mahall's bar, but it's down the stairs by the bowling alley. Don't get confused; we did.
