Cheap Pints around Yonge & Wellesley

[funky_bunny]

Hey all -- I'm looking for suggestions of where to get cheap after work drinks around Yonge and Wellesley? Any suggestions?

I haven't been in a while, so perhaps things have changed, but Local 4 has $4 pints on Monday nights. Small but decent selection of local microbrews.

The Artful Dodger (10 Isabella St, about 3 streets N of Wellsley, behind the Panasonic Theatre)

Great patios, good taps, and above-average pub grub.

I'm a fan of the Duke of Gloucester, on Yonge

Substitute "cheap" for "good" and you've got Bar Volo near there which has an awesome selection, including cask-conditioned real ale.

Or you can hit Volo on Monday for $5 Pint Night, and get both "cheap" AND "good".

$5 a pint isn't cheap. Not all beers on tap are available for the $5 price and the regular beer prices in Volo are nowhere near cheap. In fact, they're one of the more expensive places in town if you do the calculation.

However, I do go to Volo because they bring in stuff we can't get anywhere else. For that, I really like them.

Well, "cheap" is relative.

If people are happy drinking Blue or Bud, then sure, they'll be able to find it for less than $5 a pint a lot of places. But for good quality beer, $5 is a good deal for downtown Toronto.

And yes, I'm aware that not all of the beers are included in the $5 deal. But enough of them are to make it worth a visit.
