Good place to go on a nice summers day. Popular to a lot of business workers in the bay/bloor area and home "the regulars". You may even see MTV personalities there :O at any time, (go on a tuesday ;)

TIFF 2012 TIP: When it comes to celeb spotting, it's a lot like Real Estate: location, location, location. The Pilot is just the ticket, with a great patio, and lots of views of the beautiful people Read more

The rooftop patio was super cute & they had a great drink menu - fairly reasonably priced. I got the mac & cheese which was very good as well

Great place with lots of different beers. Look for Hernán, best bartender! I'll definitely recommend it. 👍👍👍

The fish & chips are great since they actually use halibut. The seafood linguine is awesome too! Grilled bread could use a garlic butter wash, it is a little dry.

Ginger beef is a delightful app. I also recommend drinking Side Launch, a tasty beer from Collingwood.

If you love dry burnt turkey burgers you will love the burger here. Mmm. No. Patio upstairs rocks.

Surprisingly good tacos from a beer joint... Maybe that's the beer talking though

Steak not bad but the garlic mashed potatoes are awesome. Skin on fries are.great too.

Spinach salad is bland and short on toppings. Quesadilla was yummy and big (full moon not half moon) but they used button mushrooms rather than the promised portobellos.

Great burgers. Sit on the heated patio on cool days.

Poutine arrived without gravy just cheese. Gravy makes this dish. Yum!

The patio upstairs!
Andrea ChiuJune 19, 2014
Great for groups if your group likes to wait 45+ min for mediocre food and service that relies on the auto-gratuity. Go elsewhere!

Trying the Bulmers Original Cider (full pint they tell me). Looking forward to a little Saturday afternoon jazz.

If you want to go upstairs, make a reservation.

The Patty Melt is incredible.
A. Simon MielniczukMarch 24, 2010
No attitude pub in Yorkville. Like burger? Try the patty melt - on the menu since '49. Survives renos and cooks.
AmyAugust 7, 2010
Greek salad is yummy. Poutine is insane!! LOTS of cheese!
Guneet SinghAugust 21, 2010
Poutine is super weak! It's made with cheddar cheese and not cheese curds

The Chicken Phad Thai is pretty good, with large portions.
