The atmosphere is relaxed and a bit cozy without trying too hard, which I really appreciated. The food was surprisingly good -- everything felt fresh and well thought out, not overly complicated but definitely satisfying. You can tell they care about quality and consistency. Service was friendly and easygoing, not rushed at all, which made the whole experience even better. Overall, it's the kind of spot I'd come back to without overthinking it -- whether for a casual meal or just to unwind a bit.

Its a real local pub, as it always was, not part of a chain, One of the few authentic pubs still around. The place was redone and kept its older 1950-60's local feel which is great. The food has improved wonderfully, it was always good, so its now up a few notches. Their burgers are even better than they were and way better than most pubs. I will be back probably next week. I highly recommend to all. Maxim

On Friday August 14, 2020, my girls & I went to Leng Keng to have a girls night!…read more Prior to our reservation: I stubbled upon this place while being on Instagram 'Toronto' stories and I saw a video story of this place, it was breath taking! Watching it, it reminded me of Shanghai and their clubs with all the lights, and electric music. Immediately I was excited! So I called them and made a reservation on Monday for Friday for 5 people. I got in contact with Alex, the manager, he set us up for Friday and answered any question I had. As this place is very new, there weren't many images or a website set up when I found them, and I was still unsure if they were open due to COVID. But they are open! I informed my girls of this place, they were thrilled and our group quickly turned from 5 to 7. Luckily, I called Leng Keng back asking if I could increase the size of my party & they were able to accommodate me! During our reservation: Coming to the place, the exterior isn't the most attractive setting. But as we looked past it, inside was just like the video that I had seen. It took me back to the time I was out with my expat friends in Shanghai club hopping. Covid protocols: Since we're still in a pandemic, Leng Keng had great protocols emplaced. As we showed our IDs to security, we signed in with our name and phone numbers. Once inside, there were masks & hand sanitizer available at the door. The tables were well distanced and people would stay within their allocated booths. The atmosphere of Leng Keng is extremely beautiful, nothing like I've ever seen in other Toronto bars/lounges/clubs. The lights are constantly moving & changing colours very beautifully as electric music plays in the background. We were greeted by very nice servers that showed us to our table. Once seated, we were able to take in the place more, & my friends were truly impressed by the place. For food we ordered Calamari and French Fries to share. For drinks we ordered Cosmos, Rum & Coke, Margaritas & a couple shots of Vodka. Everything tasted well, besides the Calamari that was slightly too fishy, the Margaritas didn't come with limes or salt on the rim of the cup. Other than that, this place was magnificent & we do believe Leng Keng has great potential in being the next trending spot in Toronto. We will be back soon! Thank you!

The average: steaks were cooked nicely, but I wish the portions were a bit larger - I'd expect 8 oz sirloins, not 6 oz. The "crispy mashed potatoes" are essentially two spring rolls filled with mashed potatoes and cheese. The first several bites were yummy, but they soon became overly cheesy for my taste. Miso mushrooms were a nice option as an add-on. The subpar: drinks were abysmal. Given the type of restaurant this is, and with a decent looking cocktail list,I expected much better. The margaritas come with egg white - but not enough to make a nice thick layer. Rather, they looked like white stuff floating in the drink and adding nothing in terms of flavor or texture. My husband said the old fashioned was terrible. I ordered a whiskey sour; it came with the same sad amount of egg white as the margarita, and tasted like sour mix only.

We were there from about 6 until after 9 to watch the fantastic Leaf - Bruins game without any rush to turnover our table. We split a cauliflower appy and a soulvlakirice bowl, both servicable. We got a cup tzaziki at no extra cost on the side. Overall, the food was servicable but would probably not order the cauli app as a bit pricey for the value. A throwback to community oriented pubs, a fun vibe with friendly service and a fantastic spot ti watch the Leafs and football. Definately will be back! -Zuk

Attention: Shoeless Joe's Manager/Owner, I am writing to…read moreexpress my deep frustration and disappointment regarding the unacceptable treatment we received during our recent interaction with one of your staff. On Sunday April 6, 2025 Lunch time. This was, without a doubt, the worst customer service experience we have ever had!!!! We came to your establishment to celebrate two Birthdays, but the day was ruined with this whole experience. Your staff was not only rude and unprofessional, but also raised their voice at us in an aggressive and completely unnecessary manner. What is even more disturbing is how they treated our friend with special needs -- with complete disregard, disrespect, and a total lack of compassion and human decency. Shame on you!! Not only were we yelled at loudly for no valid reason, but we also overheard your employee talking badly about us to other customers at the bar. This was not only unprofessional--it was humiliating and entirely inappropriate. She stated that the customers at the bar were her regulars and were all on her side. When we confronted her about this, she got very combative. This kind of behavior is disgraceful and inexcusable. No customer should ever be made to feel humiliated or mistreated, and especially not someone with special needs. I expected much better from your company and am shocked that such conduct is tolerated. Shame on you. She also kept repeating she was the only staff working and that we only cared about ourselves, that we were selfish. She also stated that it was not her problem that our friend had Special Needs. I hope this issue is taken seriously and addressed immediately. I would appreciate a prompt response explaining how this will be dealt with and what steps are being taken to ensure this doesn't happen to anyone else. Hope to hear from management /Owner ASAP Sunday April 6, 2025 - Lunch Time - 12:00 pm Shoeless Joe's Sports Grill - 3200 Dufferin Street North York

It is located in a nicer but quiet looking area in Toronto. We had the greatest experience, from the moment we were greeted by Theresa to our seats at the bar.

Excellent Toronto punk bar that just couldn't exist downtown due to gentrification and I'm glad…read morethat it's here for them in the Junction, (ok well, Lola could be an exception), especially since some of my friends are punk rock musicians. If you hear of any event at See-Scape do not hesitate to go! There's free parking on-site around the back (don't quote me on that) so TTC take the car, or whatever but get yourself down there and put in those ear plugs (available at the bar) and enjoy the show. The main floor has some funky video games in one part and a cool bar to drink at where you just can't be bored looking at the swag all around you and chatting with some cool characters that you won't find in the Financial District, that's for sure. Friendly bar staff will help you whet your whistle so no problem there and the beer isn't overpriced either. Upstairs is where the action is with a neat industrial looking stage that has the overhead grid system made of metal that give it a legit rock venue look, even though it's very small. The bar upstairs has canned beers only so no problem getting one of those and hanging out, with mostly standing room only with a couple tables for the boomers, this is one of the parts of Toronto that makes you feel like you're somewhere else, like Hamilton for example : )

Fascinating place and very close. Nice people, and a cool beer selection. Highly recommended.read more

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.

The Bovine is a fantastic place that is the same today as it was decades ago. not only that, but it…read moreis also one of the cheapest pints that you can find. Now, are the taps dry? Maybe. 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.
