Go for the TVs and beer. Things like the pizza, wings, burgers and nachos might be good but I did…read morenot order any of that stuff and as a result I was a little underwhelmed with the flavor. I had the Montreal smoked meat which looked promising but the meat was not as tasty as I was hoping. I guess don't order Montreal smoked meat outside of Montreal. I sat up at the bar and the bartender was lovely about and poured me a practically perfect Guinness. I had a great view of the hockey game on all the different screens available, great sport bar. Would come back to watch a game and change up my food expectations though.

Solid pub next to Vaughan Mills with good view of TV's at any angle. I can see it being super…read morepopular during big game nights. I came here on Saint Patrick's day to score a green beer and they have a ton of beer options to choose from. Server was friendly and attentive and even offered a free green hat and glasses to add on the festivities. It's not too busy here and you'll easily get seats for Saint Patrick's Day. I think if you're huge into the holiday, you'll probably hit up Downtown. But if you want something low key and still get your green beer, this is a solid choice. We ordered the cheese burger and also the fish tacos along with some extra coleslaw. I heard the burgers are made in house and they are good and the fish taco size was quite generous and filling.

Coleslaw on the side was a bit not worth the price though

Came here for lunch with some friends…read more The place was quite. Service was good. But they had 1 person managing the whole place which made it a bit slow. Love the new look of the place. Food was average with typical bar stuff. Nothing was off the carts. Place is made for sports and beers.

Last week, I saw my friend's photo of a surf and turf cheeseburger, and what was left of my small…read moremind was blown. I decided to look at the menu, saw the lobster roll, and knew that I needed to order it. I love lobster rolls. I see it on a menu and I must order it. No thought required. Done! There are three COAST locations, all ghost kitchens, in the GTA. One is in downtown Toronto. Another is at the Firkin that I used to frequent at Yonge and Eglinton. The one is Vaughan is the latest addition, which is where I went last night. I placed my order through Uber Eats for pickup: - PEI lobster roll with COAST salad - Crispy COAST shrimp - Crème brûlée cheesecake - Superbowl Sunday special (free COAST fries when your order is $40 or more) The downside is that I got a general location as to where to go to pick up my food. I got to the plaza with Nations grocery store anchoring it. Where do I go next? Well, my prayers were answered when a nice person from COAST called me and said that my order was ready. He let me know that COAST is in The Moose, which is a Firkin pub. Yes, direction! I thanked him and parked closer to the pub. The Moose looks new and modern. It has patio heaters and is open for dining in, as is many eateries in York region now. I was greeted by a nice man. He asked for my order number. I showed it on my phone and he went to fetch my order. I saw this white paper bag with handles on the bar counter. He thanked me and handed it to me. I reciprocated. I could smell the fries through my mask. I was so excited and I headed over to my car. I got home and had dinner. I bought more than I could down, so I have leftovers today that I look forward to having I had a container full of salad. The PEI lobster roll was camouflaged by it. You can choose fries or salad as your side. Considering that I was going for free COAST fries, I settled for salad. I loved how much salad I got. The veggies were crisp and fresh. All I heard was my crunching on them. The salad dressing had balsamic vinegar, but it was subtle and didn't have a ton of sugar. I liked it a lot. My lobster roll was good. The lobster had generous chunks of real lobster in aioli, with chives and seasoning. Yum! The downside was the bun. The brioche bun needed to be softer and perhaps grilled more with butter. It would have made the experience nicer. It was a smaller roll than I had hoped for $20, but I had so much food that it was minor. What surprised me the most were the crispy COAST shrimp. They were super crispy. They had a bit of spice. The baby arugula balanced out the spiciness. I thoroughly enjoyed how crispy the whisper-thin batter coating each shrimp was. Perfection! I got the COAST fries on the house. The fries tasted so homemade, as if I had cut the fries myself, and someone did a better job at deep-frying them. It had Grana Padano cheese that I had never had. It tasted like parmesan, but milder. I loved it with the spicy aioli and chives. I love chives so much. I normally don't enjoy eating fries as a side, but I could do these any day. I have been good lately by not going overboard with desserts. However, I couldn't resist getting the crème brûlée cheesecake. Sadly, my slice got tossed around a tad in the container, so the pointy part of the slice was smashed. However, I ate it all, even with the whipped cream puddle next to it. I enjoyed this cheesecake slice a lot. It wasn't terribly sweet. The berry coulis on top provided a nice tartness and contrast. The crust was thin. The cheesecake was creamy and you could taste the beautiful crème brûlée flavour in each bite. It's a winner! I am eyeing the PEI lobster poutine, and COAST surf and turf burger next. I had a great experience. Prices do run steep, but it's worth treating yourself to fresh seafood and ingredients. (114)

1 Star - The Twisted Toad: A Drag, Not a Show…read more Walked into The Twisted Toad on a Friday night expecting live music and maybe a little magic. Instead, I got the kind of silence that makes you question your life choices. No music. No ambiance. Just me, my date, and the sound of our expectations dying slowly. We ordered jerk wings. They were lightly breaded, which was cute, but the flavor? Saltier than a Grindr breakup and spicier than a Scorpio with a vendetta. I couldn't tell if I was eating chicken or being hexed by a Caribbean warlock. The chips came in bulk--some crisp, some soggy, all emotionally unavailable. It was like dating in Toronto: promising at first, but ends with you staring at a pile of disappointment wondering what went wrong. Then came the wine. Served with fruit flies. Not metaphorical ones. Real, buzzing, winged creatures doing laps in my glass like it was a gay pool party. The server offered to scoop them out with a spoon. A spoon. I've had more respectful offers at bathhouses. My date paid for it just to end the horror. I wanted to love this place. I wanted it to be quirky and bold and full of flavor. Instead, it was like a bad hookup--awkward, unsatisfying, and you leave feeling sticky and confused. The Twisted Toad? More like the Crooked Frog. Ribbit ribbit, run.

The service was efficient and friendly but the food quality was mediocre at best. Portions are very…read morelarge, American sized, but the quality is below par even for a suburban place. You won't expect restaurant quality in a pub but then limit the menu to what you can do well.

Taking over the location of the now (sadly) closed Smoke BBQ joint, Hoops Is now open in Vaughan…read more This area could definitely use a sports bar, as Buffalo Wild Wing across the street is the only place to really watch the game and have a pint, so it makes sense. I've been to the Hoops downtown Toronto many times, but only because its closest place to get a beer during Fan Expo. The food was average at best so I didnt have high hopes for this location. We wandered in on a Friday night, and boy has it changed since The Smoke was there. There are tv's EVERYWHERE, which is pretty awesome. The place is pretty ugly though. Yeesh. Talk about drab. The staff are all very young and inexperienced, but very nice and accommodating, and got our orders perfectly. This place just opened so I'm sure it wont take long for them to feel more natural and at ease. The bar was impressive and has a great selection of liquors. This place will be perfect for anyone coming just to watch and game and have a drink. Cuz the food is not great. I ordered the special of the day, steak fajitas. They were awful. Steak was overcooked and bitter. Hard to bite through. The veggies were slimy. Yuck. My wife's chilli nachos were pretty good! Fyi there is no kid's menu, so we got our kid chicken fingers and fries. The fries were decent. The chicken fingers were bland but were cooked well and had an awesome crisp to them. But yeah bland chicken fingers. It was also drafty in there. Chilly. Not cozy. They did have a DJ there playing who was good, music gave a good vibe to the place for a Friday night. In the end this place feels like a pub from 15 years ago, when this kind of food was expected from a pub, before all the chain pubs stepped up their food game. Stick to the booze and enjoy the game, and you'll like this place. And hey the fries are good.

This is a new location that opened about six weeks ago. The decor is real nice with a cool bar and…read moretons of tv's everywhere. The food is what you would typically expect from a sports bar. The chicken wings were real good. Friendly staff and good service. This place has the potential to become a great place to watch a game.
