Scotland Yard, Toronto

Scotland Yard is the name of a homely pub located in downtown Toronto close to the harbour front area. We visited the pub for supper one evening towards the end of November. The pub’s style and design resembles a typical Scottish [but of course!] or British pub. I found the music a little too loud and the pub itself just a shade too dark but relaxed and atmospheric nevertheless. It’s quite a ‘sportsy’ place. Some darts enthusiasts were seriously involved in a match close to our table. In front of me was a large TV screen showing a game of basket ball between, I assume, two Canadian teams.
I ordered a Guinness stew from their menu as did one of our friends. My partner opted for a macaroni dish. The stew, typical pub grub, was fine. I washed it down with a pint of Guinness. The food was moderately priced and the prices of the drinks were on a par with those of central Glasgow and Edinburgh in Scotland.
The service was civil and cordial in the Canadian style to which we had become accustomed.
