The best Irish pubs in Toronto offer more than a pint of a Guinness and a handful of vaguely traditional menu options. Sure, some of them are about as Oirish as Tom Cruise's accent in the movie Far and Away and have as much to do with a traditional Emerald Isle experience as the Lucky Charms Leprechaun, but what they do all have going for them is a healthy does of that famous Irish hospitality.
They're places with a neighbourly vibe and welcoming atmosphere where you might feel just as at home drowning your sorrows as you would kicking up a jig; and, of course, fresh kegs of the black stuff don't hurt either.
