This was such a good find on a Friday night!…read more The pizza is sooo good; it's almost as delicious as Badiali's. The tomato sauce, the crisp crust-- yum! I just wish they had a Hawaiian option, a marinara dipping sauce, and a mushroom pizza that didn't have truffle oil; then it would be even better. The beer menu was a bit hard to read, and it was too loud to talk to the bartenders, but I'd try again next time. Meanwhile, there are arcade games, and many of them are free--! How cool is that? Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, and even-- perhaps my new favourite-- Toobin', which is two dudes going down a river in floaties and getting eaten by crocodiles. Such wholesome fun for cheap!

"Half & Half" pie review only: 'North Of Brooklyn Pizza'…read moreused to helm the rear of this great venue (maybe about a year or so ago). NOB left and the pizzeria at the back is now part of Get Well Bar's food menu. Although their website doesnt detail this, they offer 18" pies after 5pm everyday, and seemingly use a sourdough dough. A "Cheese" pie is $27 (tomato sauce + shredded mozz; same price as NOB's NY Cheese & Margherita pies). There is "Pepperoni" (Ezzo branded; $30), "Mushroom" (garlic oil base, shredded mozz, Portobello and Cremini mushrooms, goat cheese, balsamic glaze, and arugula; $32), "Vegan Deluxe" (tomato sauce, vegan mozz, artichoke, mushroom blend, black olives, red onions; $32), and "Al Pastor" (tomato sauce, shredded mozz, marinated pork shoulder, pickled jalapenos, brined red onions, pineapple salsa ; $32). In comparison, NOB's most expensive pies are $30). They have a "Half & Half" pie ($34) which is a pie divided in half with 2 different flavours each side, which is what was ordered. Asked "well done." The "Cheese" was underwhelming except for the dough, which was phenomenally pillowy and soft (not in an under-done sense, just almost like a croissant), but the pie overall could definitely have been more "well-done." We might have gotten lucky in using the least stale dough they had, but certainly the dough was impressive, but lacked any char, smokiness, or notable crispness (except along outer inch). The "Mushroom" side was superb, and it was a pity it was called just "Mushroom" as it was much more than a Funghi pie. A diversity of flavours accompanied each bite (slight tartness and creaminess from goat cheese, strong herbal notes from arugula, earthiness of mushrooms, sweetness from balsamic glaze...). It might not appeal to everyone, but it was a great balance to enjoy it alongside the more basic "Cheese" pizza side. Overall, not as good as its former tenant, but the "Half & Half" pie is a great pie worth trying and an impressive pizza for a fantastic bar.

A classic Punk / Rock n Roll Bar in Toronto CA. Basically the CBGB's of that scene…read more It's been around since the early 1990's and is exactly what a spot like this should be. Very nondescript outside facade - no sign telling you what it is other than a small "BSC" (for Bovine Sex Club) painted near the door. Hard to miss though as the exterior is made up a punk rock style sculpture of rusted bikes & other assorted ephemera. The interior is similar, visually. Great sound system & chill vibes pervade throughout. Weirdly the stage is right in the entrance of the club, on your left, with a long bar along the right side, heading back. Great, crowd, great location in cool area with lots of restaurants & plenty of parking - both on the street up to 2 hours & extended parking for a flat-rate of CA$20 (~$14 USD) from 6:00pm until the next morning, just 2 blacks away.

Are the beer cans running out? It's possible. But, it's a dive in the way of the old dives. And the acoustics for bands are... not great. But they are a sign of what once was. Without attempting to try to present a front of a time long gone, The Bovine simply exists today as it once did in that time long ago, before Smokes stickers, before iPhones, back when people would just go to a bar to talk with those they didn't know the morning prior. Bring cash though, unless you're looking to make some big orders, because credit card is a minimum fifty-dollar spend.
