Wheat Sheaf vs the Maddy

In an unusual turn of events, Ian and I went out both Friday and Sat night for some pub/bar fun-ness.

Friday night was at the Wheat Sheaf on Bathurst. Highlights included:
  • Cheap food (like $9 for a humongous plate of nachos, $8 or so for chicken finger and fries)
  • Steamwhistle on tap
  • OK patio
  • Fun painted moose near the patio
  • Lots of TV's for blue jays or hockey fans
  • Extremely close to our place
  • Somewhat cheap beer
  • TO's oldest bar (like pre 1900 I think)
  • Not exactly friendly service, but not unfriendly
Saturday night was at the Madison (aka Maddy). Highlights included:
  • We did not order food, but in previous outings, the food is also pretty decent and cheap
  • Also somewhat cheap beer (especially if you come pre 8 pm)
  • Gigantic place with lots of patios
  • A somewhat odd mix of people - t-shirts & jeans as well as the fully dressed up to go out crowd
  • Rather far from us, but lots of good exercise when we walk there and back
  • Surly service last night - other times not so bad
  • Ian liked the heaters on the patio
