Pour Boy - Manning

This place has been a go to spot for excellent bar food and vibes for a looong time - it shouldn't need reviews at this point ha. Grab your friends or a date, hurry down, and order the Calamari already! You're welcome.

Pour Boy is great. An amazing hang out spot with friends, pretty cheap, with great daily specials and the food is really good too. I had a number of their food items and they all were super goood, such as the grilled chicken wrap, chicken sandwich, burger and tofu pad thai. I think I’ll definitely keep coming back for the tofu pad Thai - highly recommend! Also their drinks are super affordable. Staff really nice too!

They have possibly one of the lowest prices for beer in this area especially compared to the quality and options. The staff is super friendly the place facilities a bunch of people both upstairs and downstairs. When the weather is good there is a patio outside with very authentic street view. Probably your best bet for a night out with your friends if you prefer smaller pubs with great options for food. THEIR POUTINE AND FISH TACO IS TOP TIER.

It's good but sometimes very noisy as expected on Friday evening. Service was a bit slow. But still you might get everything you are looking for in a bar.

Probably one of the last places in the city you can get a TRUE cheap meal that is delicious and made of good ingredients. Servers are the best and the beers are good. Lovely vibes all year round but make sure you dont miss this out when the patio is open!!! It also has a 2nd indoor floor.

The staff were kind and patient when taking our orders. The Menu arrived promptly without any delays. We were a group of 5. Unfortunately we couldn’t enjoy the patio as much, due to the inclement weather. Hence we requested to be seated at the second floor. I had fish tacos. It was fresh, crispy and hard to follow through with a bite lol 😂🙈 I needed some tanginess to it. Maybe next time i ll ask them to either season it with lemon juice. It satisfied my appetite and I washed it down with a reminiscent tiger beer (reminded me of my previous south asian trip) I ll be back for a pad thai 🙈😋

Nice spot for a drink and food with a variety of cuisines

I walked by this place for several years, always thought about going but hadn't since it was always pretty busy. I started going last year and haven't stopped as one of my go to places. Excellent food at fair prices.

My favorite place in Toronto!!! You have to try the crispy garlic tofu bites. They are have crispy flavorful crust with the most delicious dipping sauces. Everytime I'm in town I get them twice (my guilty pleasure). The menu seems outrageously large but I've everything I've tried I liked!

It was pretty busy for a Monday night, and service was very slow (though the servers nice). I think they only had two servers for two floors plus a patio. The food and drinks are quite reasonably priced. They have a somewhat eclectic menu with food from different cultures. I tried the Korean bulgogi beef with glass noodles and veggies. The "glass noodles" were not actually glass noodles at all. They were Banh Hoi, or Vietnamese rice noodles woven into sheets. Despite the discrepancy from what was listed on the menu, the dish still tasted good. We also shared a pitcher of white sangria and nachos, both of which were great. I felt they could have given us a *few* more tortilla chips since it was only a single layer on the plate, but regardless it was still tasty and they were not shy with the cheese. They played covers of popular music all night which we found kind of amusing. Who were these mystery singers??? Why would somebody make a techno cover of Replay by Iyaz? Anyway, the vibe was pretty good and the prices were very affordable. Would come back.

We experienced a customer yelling hate crimes and the server didn't ask them to leave but agreed with the customer. It was very concerning.

Had a lovely group dinner here , so many drink options and the service was great. small patio but did the job! Positive vibes all around

not trying to be impressive, perfect neighbourhood hangout and customer service is the best :)) also the lychee martini omg

Local no frills patio with cheap food and drinks. Have tried different dishes here, really like their cheese quesadilla that comes with a side of chips, salsa and sour cream, as well as the fried tofu and spring rolls. Would skip the veg wrap. Always a good time!

We had dinner here tonight. They have a very interesting menu with a wide variety of foods from different cultures. It has a wide variety of beers and alcohol. Probably a better place to drop in for drinks than for a meal. My daughter tried the hamburger, it was decent sized but too well done (and a little dry) for my taste. She's only 6, so maybe they cooked it like that for her benefit? I can't recommend it though, even for a kid, she wasn't that big of a fan. The fries that came with it were good. My son had the Chicken fried rice and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was fairly basic as fried rice goes, but eh chicken was moist. They went a bit overboard on the black pepper. Several of the dishes came out of the kitchen with a heavy grind of pepper across the entire dish. We also had the udon noodles with stir fried veggies and I found it to be good. Veggies were crisp and the noodles well cooked. The Phad Thai has a kick, not bad if you like a little your food a little spicy, but not the best option for most kids. It was really hard to taste anything over the spice, so hard to give real feedback on this dish. I had the fish and chips, opting for the sweet potato fries. This one was very good, fish was nice and moist with a good crunch to the batter. The sweet potato fries also had a very nice crunch to them. Overall a decent meal, but nothing I would have on my must visit list.

Pour Boy is located on Manning near the north west corner of Bloor and Manning in Koreatown. This is a nice place with mostly indoor seating and a few tables outside as well. The menu is made up with a mix of standard pub favorites and a side of Asian things. For instance besides our drinks we also ordered poutine and shrimp chips. The shrimp chips didn't seem freshly fried (hot and oily) and the poutine while decent didn't really have much cheese it seemed. Originally we sat indoors as the patio was full in the corner where the bench was like a church pew but eventually we were able to move outside because a table opened up. The service seemed friendly and the drinks were brought out pretty fast but the food wasn't overly impressive for what we had ordered.

Wandering around the city on a food/drink crawl, we decided to stop here as they have an patio. It's a bit small, but a decent size for a group of people. The inside is a bit dated, but the service was friendly. We initially were seated indoors as no space on the patio, but one soon opened up and we asked to move outdoors - no problems at all! The server recommend some drinks for us which is always nice. The table ordered some small foods - shrimp chips, poutine - so I had a little of each and wasn't particularly impressed. It tasted like it had been sitting around for a few hours and just re-heated (the poutine). The shrimp chips din't have that nice crisp crunch to them. The drinks weren't bad - just come here for a drink or two, people watch on the patio and enjoy your time here (minus the food)

Went for some Saturday afternoon Sangria. Location is right off Bloor and pretty easy to find. The establishment is pretty small, but there were a few people there enjoying some food and drinks when we went. Service was pretty good too and they have a nice outdoor seating area. The sangria was mediocre. Tasted pretty watered down from the beginning and it just got worse as we approached the bottom of the pitcher/the ice started melting. On the cheaper side of what you'd typically expect to get in Toronto though.

NOT GOOD! Now, let me start by saying that I already had low expectations coming here. I'm a fan of bars with cheap drinks and good appetizers, so Pour Boy seemed like a good idea for some patio drinks. The service is non-existent. We had to seat ourself and get our own menu. We also had to flag the waiters to get a glass of water. The food was mediocre. The Pad Thai (that everyone seems to rave about) is really strong on the ketchup. The nachos were good, until we found a piece of Saran Wrap mixed in with the melted cheese--not good. The drinks were watered down. We ordered a pitcher of Sangria, which I didn't expect to be strong anyways (for the cheap price), but after finishing a pitcher I didn't even have a slight buzz. The verdict? Too much hype with practically nothing to back it up. Disappointed.

Went here to grab some evening drinks with a friend, and Pour Boy turned out to be such a hidden gem. Can't say anything about the food as we didn't try it, but it had lovely decor (dimly lit jazz bar kind of vibes), friendly staff, extensive selection of beer/drinks, and very reasonable prices (hard to find a place that offers martinis/cocktails for $8 these days!). The only downside is that the space is small (particularly in winter when the patio is closed), so I could see it being difficult to snag a table on prime nights.

I've been coming to Pour Boy the past couple years for the inexpensive food and drinks. The main floor is for smaller groups while the second floor can sit larger groups and can get a bit rowdy up there. The food here is pretty basic and the drinks here are a little bit watered down but honestly, can't complain because the prices are very reasonable. The servers here are friendly and pleasant to deal with. I would recommend going here for drinks and finger food but not for a full meal.

I cannot stress enough how much we love Pour Boy! Such a natural local chill, non pretentious, welcoming space and staff. There was 8 of us and all tables were full at all times! The food and drinks constantly showed up promptly great portions and yummy!!!), and the staff always made time for us, whether to take our orders or have a quick comical chat! Our server was Nee I believe. There was two of them, and they were just fab!!! Looking forward to another visit sometime soon!! Thank you Pour Boy team!!!

Absolutely awful experience at the Manning location last night. I ordered poutine and the cheese curds were rotten - they tasted like wine in the worst way. The server was nice and I ordered wings instead, I asked for BBQ sauce because I can't do spice. At one point she mentioned that someone else had sent back their poutine earlier in the day for the same reason. She said that the cooks don't speak English and if something is spoiled in the kitchen they have to sit down together to effectively communicate (?!). So if customers report rotten food, it will continue being served to people until there's a meeting with translators?! Wings arrived drenched in hot sauce. After waiting so long for two failed orders, I took the wings to the cash and explained what happened to another server who simply replied with "okay". He seemed to doubt that I didn't get what I ordered and told me that their BBQ sauce "has a kick". Then our original server checked the orders and confirmed that my wings had been switched with another order for spicy wings. It was upsetting and frustrating to have to sit and negotiate through that while super hungry and while my friends finished their luckily-not-rancid dinners. I personally don't believe that people have to speak the common language where they live. I do believe that if servers can't effectively communicate with cooks in a restaurant, that poses a serious public health risk. Luckily severe allergies weren't involved, but I hope this major problem is remedied before someone gets seriously sick or dies.

Super solid drinking hole in the heart of Little Koreatown. You get good value-for-money at this establishment that attracts a lot of the student crowd. There is seating on the first and second floor. The space is tightly packed with tables and chairs. We came here for some drinks and hanging out and it met our needs perfectly. It wasn't too busy on a Friday night. It's a very solid spot with no frills for a night out for a few brews.

Was downtown with some friends last night and found Clinton's was closed because the LCBO suspended them for overcapacity. In search for another hangout spot we stumbled upon Pour Boy. It was packed! Two stories, and we managed to grab a table meant for 2 for the 3 of us. The beer list is pretty decent. $4.50 a pint. Teas and coffees were decently priced (I was the DD so no drinking for me... Good thing too because certainly enough as I approached the Gardiner Expressway Ramp en route back home R.I.D.E. was in full effect). Their cappuccino was pretty dang good. I expected a watered down, tasteless cappuccino but was pleasantly surprised! Their green tea was a bit weak. The service here was terrible, maybe because they just weren't prepared to have an onslaught of Clinton's-converts show up and flood their bar. The music and vibe was good. Old school jazz and soul music... Long lived James Brown! Another friend ended up joining and we wanted to move to a bigger table behind us where the folks were wrapping up only to be told by the hostess that the table is taken. We then had to go downstairs and find ourselves a table, but not before we were told "you gotta pay up your tab first." I then asked if she couldn't just bring the bill downstairs and she said "no we can't!". They are so badly coordinated. We placed an order for a decaf, and then changed our minds and ordered another pint, but sure enough she brought both. After she took our order another waitress asked us what we wanted and we told her we'd already ordered and she said "just tell me again because she may have forgotten." When my cappuccino came they brought it to the table behind us and then wandered around wondering who ordered it. What a zoo! The only food item we ordered was the fried tofu. Fried tofu? Really? Fried tofu at a pub? That was a first! It was served with a sweet-chili dip. It was pretty tasty but way too oily.

K-Town really needed a new bar, the hipsters at Clintons were overflowing into the streets every night. I have been so excited about the opening of Pour Boy over the past month. I didn't even know what exactly it planned to be, but I saw the spray painted wall mural completed last month and I was hoping it would be something cool. Pour Boy finally opened it's doors a few days ago. Last night Eric L and I stopped in to investigate. It's a two-story bar and restaurant wedged on the corner of Bloor and Manning st. We sat outside on the patio (nice tables and big wicker chairs) but popped inside and upstairs to check out the rest of the place. Full bar on both floors, nice decor, dark, candles, vintage looking chandeliers. Definitely classier than the decor at the Green Room, more of an intimate vibe. Our waitress (VERY friendly!) explained that Pour Boy is operated by the same owners as the Green Room (Annex), Red Room (on Spadina) and Nirvana (on College). The drinks are cheap and they have a cheap and expansive food menu too. A pint was $4, bar shots $3.50 and my giant pint of diet coke was $1.50 I will definitely be back to try the cheap food. They had a selection of bar food - burgers, sandwiches, pad thai, perogies, fajitas, salads, brunch items. Grilled cheese with sweet potato fries is only $4.50!!?!? Hook me up. Will update my review after a few more visits.

This place is a rip off with very rude service. All beer pitchers are listed as $15 on the menu, but when our bill came our pitcher showed up as $17. When we mentioned to our server that we would like the difference back since the price was falsely advertised on the menu, she said "I'll just take it out of my tip" and gave us the $2 back. I tried to explain to her that we did not mean to take it out of her tip, but rather the bill itself. Later as I was standing by the bar waiting for my friends, I overheard her complaining to her coworker about the amount of tip we left her and she was mocking what I had said about "false advertisement" (We left a 15% tip). She continued gossiping about us for at least 5 minutes until my friends returned. She did this while aware that I was standing about 1 meter away, hearing everything she was saying about us. I confronted her later, politely explaining that its very unprofessional to be complaining about a customer while the customer is standing right there. She denied it saying she wasn't compaining and did not apologize. It left a very bad taste in our mouths, and we will be contacting management regarding this incident. Aside from that, the $10 "muchos nachos" was the smallest I have ever seen in a restaurant, with 1 layer of chips sprinkled on a tray. Not at all fond of the skimpy portions and the entitled attitude our server had.

Tucked on the corner of Bloor and Manning, Pour Boy has a wonderful atmosphere with outdoor heating and fantastic Dark and Stormies. The food is made quickly, and it's always delicious. I would highly recommend the green curry. Servers are lovely. All around a great find.

A great local watering hole with a really fun Monday trivia night. Food and beer and is dirt cheap and OK quality; you basically get what you pay for. A really good place to come and have some cheap eats and drinks over candlelight. A nice front patio in the summer. TIP: This place is cash only.

This is one of those great laid-back places to visit when you feel like bumming it. Are you a student and want to come in your Pajamas? Sure! No one is bound to care. The vibe is that laid-back. Wondering what I mean? Well, whatever comes to your mind when I mention the Red Room, Nirvana, and the Green Room? Well, yeah, that. They are almost carbon copies of each other, down to prices and a good chunk of their menus. Personally, I never order any food at places like these, since their mix-&-match Thai-Fusion dishes tend to fare fairly negatively when compared to the quality of the food that can easily be found at a stone's throw from the bar. I mean, Korean Town and the Ossington stretch have some pretty good restaurants, thus why would you do yourself the disservice of not eating at one of those restaurants instead? What this dive is great at, is showing up with friends, catching up a game in the winter or chilling on their patio with a cold one during the Summer. Which is really the main reasons why I drop by, and to be honest, they should be yours too. Do not expect more much than cheap drinks, and a fairly sized second floor for larger groups. Also, as a positive, once nighttime comes, the candles on the tables do add a badly needed sense of coolness and ambiance to an otherwise drab looking interior. I am not kidding, even their floors are fugly. So, the lesson here is this, if you do come here during the day, make sure the patio is open, if not, then wait until it gets dark. I would say the biggest gain is for the locals who have a dive-bar with a pseudo-international vibe to compete with the more Canadiana-looking Clinton's a block over. Definitely not worth the drive if you live far away. Great if you need a drink and happen to be in the hood and want/need to stay in it.

Great place for a cheap pitcher! Didn't end up trying the food, they were out of edamame but it's okay! I had a great time and would love to check out the upstairs next time.

It is close to Basecamp, I've been here a few times after rock climbing. It's got a wide range of food, reasonable price, cozy space with a patio in the summer. Food is OK, Cash only. Good for a quick bite for its convenient location.

Cheap food is a plus. I was a little annoyed that they couldn't split up our bill for 5 ppl and they added a 15% gratuity. Fuck... That. Not good for groups.

All RIGHT! This was one of those places I'd passed a hundred times and never thought twice about. The Jimi Hendrix mural was probably what turned me off - it just screamed popped collar frat boys who would drink all night and then sing DMB songs with an acoustic guitar on their front stoop at the end of the evening. It reminded me on the Onion headline: "Bob Marley Rises From Grave To Free Frat Boys From Bonds Of Oppression". It just wasn't me. Boy did I get turned around. There may well be a handful of douchtards there but generally it was an awesome vibe at the right price. Good tunes were playing and the assortment of vintage chairs and mismatched tables gave the place a unique feel. But it was the $4.50 steamwhistle that really caught my eye. I thought I had to slum for that kind of price - but here it was, a menu like the days of yore, long before the $8 pint of Canadian. My GF had a delicious Caesar served in an awesome PBR mason jar mug. I pounded pint after pint long past the terminal velocity that you hit when drinking on a work night. The place was quiet enough to talk freely but loud enough that you felt like you were in a good crowd. Only critique is that the open windows and smoke friendly patio don't mix - indoors had a constant stream of the sweet smell of Belmont Milds floating through which is kind of a turn off if, you know, you don't like second hand smoke. But that was the only problem. The staff were super awesome and super friendly. All in all a great place to hang out and bang out a few beers. And if you want to meet up and play "Crash (Into Me)" on my stoop after last call, the more the merrier.

Pour Boy is a cheap bar and my local joint, tucked into Manning just above Bloor. It has a patio, it has a terrible comedy night, it has fresh rolls, pad thai, sandwiches etc. until midnight, it has $6 pints of sangria, it has plenty of wood and stained glass and *ambiance*, the servers are crispy, the floors are flooral, you can go with a big group or with your boyfriend or with a book and it always Feels Right, they have martinis in martini glasses if you want to do and be that person, and there is a laundromat next door in case of emergencies. Other patrons are sometimes awful, and it's not like everybody knows your name, but everybody knows their own name, which I think is good enough.

Monday Night Trivia Nights at Pour Boy! So my college buddy (who just finished up his MBA at UT) & I attended our first TN up here in T.O on Monday 6/20. Mon 8pm - Pour Boy, 666 Manning Ave (& Bloor St), just west of Bathurst St in Korea Town, Metro: Christie/Bathurst, Wi-Fi, cash-only, $10/team (max 6 players) with the money going to charity, the Horizons Children's Centre (http://www.facebook.com/Horizons.Childrens.Centre). Trivia takes place on the 2nd floor of Pour Boy, a nice gastropub with a healthy menu that's not typical of must restobars. I really like how they serve Creemore on tap. Trivia didn't start right away at 8pm as most people were still eating dinner before participating. There were 5 other groups besides my friend & myself. Most groups had 5 of 6 people, so we knew we'd have our asses handed to us w/o teaming up with others. Luckily, the Quiz Master asked her sister's group if we could join them, and the 3 of them obliged. We teamed up with the woman who ended up founding this Trivia Night), the QM's sister, & her fiance. It was a perfect pairing b/c each of us knew genres of knowledge. The format was 4 regular rounds with 10 Questions each. Round 1 Q's were 5pts each, and each subsequent round's Q's increased to 10pts, 15pts, & then 20pts. There was also a Name That Tune round (essentially Rd 5, 10 Q's, 10pts ea), and a Final Question (same wager rules as Final Jeopardy). We couldn't come up with a good team name, so I just pulled up a name from the past, "Quiz in a Box" (I was trying to think of "Quiz in My Pants, but couldn't remember the name). After Round 3 (see the attached scoreboard pic), we were perfect. 50pts in Rd 1, 100pts in Rd 2, & 150pts in Rd 3. For Rd 4, we missed 1 Q, and had 9/10 correct for 180pts (out of 200pts). The Q we got wrong was: "What type of veins are provide blood between the heart and the head?" Louise guessed Jugular, but I thought the QM wanted something more generic, so we settled on arteries. Turns out it was "Jugular Veins". The Name That Tune round was a lot easier than what I'm used to down at NYC trivia nights. No super obscure songs. We only needed to name the song title. Some songs were Kiss (by Prince), Under Pressure (by Queen & David Bowie), some Rush song (they're Canadian), I forget the rest. Going into the Final Question, we had a 560 vs 545 lead against the 2nd place team "The Trebecs", so we wagered 531pts, so that if both teams answered the Final Q correctly, we'd win by 1pt. Likewise if everyone answered incorrectly, and if every other team wagered the full amount and dropped to 0pts, we'd end up with 29pts. We were able to set our wager after finding out the category, "Physical Geography", which we were confident in. Final Q: "The Sahara is the hottest desert in the world. What is the coldest desert?" Answer: Antarctica. 3 of the teams got it right. 2 got it wrong. 2nd place got it right, but fortunately we did too. We won 1,091pts vs 972pts. The QM told us that our score was the highest ever score set at Pour Boy! The highest possible score is 1,200pts. We learned some interesting facts. All of these questions we got right, but using logical guessing. Q: In 1887, a German physiologist invented what optical device? A: Contact Lenses Q: What Italian dessert means "pick me up"? A: Tiramisu (lucky guess) Q: What pasta means little tongues? A: Linguini (sounds like "lengua", which is tongue in Spanish, and -ini means small in Italian) Q: What is the largest muscle in the human body? A: The glutius maximus (the butt) Q: Terry Fox's (a deceased Canadian running legend) mother recently died. What was her name? A: Betty Q: The Leaning Tower of Pisa is made of what stone? A: Marble (we figured it needed to be something heavy, to cause the tower to lean, so ruled out limestone) Q: What is the scientific word for sense of smell? A: Olfaction Q: For golf's Davis Cup, which two geographical regions compete against each other? A: Europe vs. USA Q: Who did the Blue Jays beat in the 1992 World Series? A: The Atlanta Braves Q: What is the second book in the bible (Old Testament)? A: Exodus We were lucky they didn't ask many Canada-specific Q's! For placing 1st at Pour Boy, we won Steam Whistle collector's sets that came with a tall can of Steam Whistle beer and a pint glass. Steam Whistle is a brewery located in downtown Toronto. I really liked this Trivia Night and will return. It's great that they donate the fee to the children's center, a boys orphanage in Ghana. The TN organizers are active volunteers and finance and built the orphanage and are currently trying to build a larger building to house the boys. Two sets of QM's (both are couples) rotate as the QM each week.

Went in for a drink and a small bite, service was a bit slow for my liking and then when i was ready to leave took incredibly long to get my bill. Food was decent.

Overall this place is pretty average, so here's some highlights: The good: - Avocado & Brie sandwich. Quite tasty! Not as good as Red Room's but definitely up there. - Sangria. They offer red and white. The Neutral - Sangria. It's OK Sangria. It's not traditional in anyway as they just mix up the ingredients behind the bar when you order it. It's not pre-made and the fruit hasn't been soaking. It's still refreshing on a hot summer day - The patio. It's a decent size for the area and you can fit a good sized group onto it if needed - The staff. They were pleasant and on the ball. Nothing over the top though. The not so good: - The staff. They were very attentive at first, but once they started to get busy we had to flag them down to get any service. - The music. The selection was fine but it was very loud. The volume was probably fine if you're out on the patio, but if you're inside, you can barely hear the person next to you.

The Pour Boy Pub is located at 666 Manning avenue which makes it an excellent locale for my neo-satanic meetups. When walking west on Bloor, you can't miss the mural of Bob Dylan and Jimmy Hendrix on the second floor looking down at the citizens of Koreatown. It's two floors of pubby goodness and has a spacious patio out front too. Came on a Thursday night and it was pretty lively in here. We grabbed a seat on the second level, which is less claustrophobic and (slightly) brighter. The menu features pretty decent draught selection and a lot of late night eats. We went for the cheapest pitcher ('cause that's how we do) at $13.25. Not bad. Since we were snackish we grabbed an order of the deep fried tofu which was maybe the worst thing I've ever eaten out of a deep fryer. Super oily and tasteless. Service was exemplary. Our server won us over quickly with a Larry David impression and kept us imbibed during our visit. An excellent place for a nightcap or midnight snack. Obligatory Title Pun: Come here POUR BOY, boy can you get it up? Menu Readability: Using a Comic Sans clone. Not sure if this is better or worse than actually using Comic Sans. Need to mention: Free Wi-Fi! We all checked in like fiends. What this place teaches me about myself: I know better than to order deep fried tofu at a pub.

a 2.5 The good: - cheap drinks (13.25 pitchers too) - relaxed - sue tran is a great server and fun - nice and cheap food menu - upstairs, downstairs and patio - relatively clean bathrooms - welcome addition to the area The bad: - i'm afriad to buy food from here knowing it's owned by the old owners of the amazing Green Room that did end up getting shut down for 38 food safety violations - extra pitchers surprisingly show up on your bill

Incredible prices for drinks and food! Tons of vegan options and vegetarian options. The menu has some Asian inspired meals as well as your standard burgers and fries pub food. Service is awesome, drinks and meals come in a flash, and the servers are really friendly. Lots of seating space, the decor and music is chill. I highly recommend this place for hanging out with groups or on dates. I ordered the fresh rolls, garden salad, and my boyfriend ordered chicken fried rice. Everything was great! Will be back. Note: cash only!!!

Pour boy was supposed to be a welcome reprieve from the stifling heat that has taken over Toronto, unfortunately it was not so cool. But what it lacked in a/c it made up for with a great atmosphere and smashing tunes. From the smells all around it would appear that the food was fantastic as well. They had a healthy mix of "close when you need 'em, and far when you don't", which made having an exciting conversation all the more engaging. I ordered a Blanche De Chambly which they were out of along with their Pour Boy ale, they did however have my fall back Mill Street Organic. And for $4.50 a pint I didn't feel bad about ordering it in the middle of the day. Bottom line...I'm interested to drop in for another visit, but with so many soju spots right around the corner this little gem might get left behind.

Not impressed. My friend made a HUGE reservation for her birthday this past October, we were 20-25 people. We sat a long table upstairs, and drank plenty, and spent a lot on food and drink. As the night wore on, we started to stand up and mingle, and some chose to settle at some of the other tables that were available. You know how it is - you're crammed together at a big long table, hard to get in and out to the bathroom or to get another drink, it gets loud, people want to stretch their legs. 3 or 4 people would get up and go it at another table to have a quieter conversation, leaving some empty chairs behind. Apparently, despite the fact that no one wanted those additional tables, and there were no people waiting anywhere to sit down, this was unacceptable, and we were repeatedly admonished to not spread out and "take up so much space." There was no table service, and nobody waiting. We were not being greedy with the table real estate, and their insistance that we all squeeze into a tiny corner was not put forth in a particularly friendly way, shall we say? This is not how you run a late-night spot.

This place was recommended by a friend who use to live in Ottawa and they had a Pour Boy pub there too. It was definitely out of the way of where we all lived so there must've been something good about this place. I took a quick look online and my eyes lit up at the prices on the menu... looked like drinks and food were priced like it's 2005! A couple blocks from Christie subway station, this place had a nice patio out front and a small sitting area inside. For a group of 8, we decided to chill outside.... and DRINK! For $15.75 we had a huge pitcher of Blanche Chambly which filled 3 glasses to about 20 oz each. That was a pretty sweet deal.... speak of sweet, the glasses of sangria seemed just that - full of juice and a gradation of fruity sips, but everyone seemed to be enjoying them. We also ordered a few plates of nachos... which were unfortunately plain sad. They were presented on circular-type baking sheets. There were barely any chips, and the cheese was hardly visible. Barely any toppings accompanied by salsa and sour cream, but at the end of the day, I don't think I can really complain at the $8.75 price point. At the end of the day, come for a drink (or many drinks), sit on the patio and have a great night chatting with your awesome friends.

Imagine you've accidentally brought your date to a poor restaurant in the area or you suddenly realized that they hate Korean and you're now looking for a place to drown that embarrassment with some booze. This is how I was introduced to Pour Boy. It's a small and dark wooden place that at first glance seems like it would be rather dank but ends up being cozy and relaxing. The service was pretty friendly and the drink prices were very reasonable. Now I haven't had any food here yet, but I genuinely recommend this place for a quick drink or a chance to relax and forget about your troubles. The low lit atmosphere actually makes it quite an enjoyable getaway when it's raining or snowing heavily outside.

Review is based on drinks only. So my friends and I came across this pub online while searching for cheap drinks, patio, toronto and so forth... typical tags for summer searches lol and pour boy came up! Our server was friendly but took a really long time to take our order seeing as it wasn't that busy when we got there. We each ordered a 1.5L pitcher of white wine sangria for $17.50! This drink represents what summer is all about for me and their version was so refreshing, light and fruity! We also tried a pint of the red wine sangria for $6.25 which had a deeper flavour and was equally delicious. Both versions had sliced strawberries, citrus, mint, ginger ale, grenadine, orange-cranberry juice, wine and peach schnapps. The food looked asian/thai inspired and seemed to be priced reasonably for the large portions I saw other tables receive. Overall, we did enjoy our drinks and the cost did not affect the quality which was amazing! Loved the relaxed and casual vibe and definitely do see myself spending a lot more time here.

If service is what matters, I had a pretty rude waitress. For my friend's birthday, she had reserved a table for around 4-6 people at Pour Boy's. While they were kind enough to let my friend bring a cake in for the birthday girl, our waitress totally sucked. Our the entire party was a little slow to show up, so at one point in the evening the waitress asked us if we could move to a different table to accommodate for the larger party that had just arrived. First, there were three of us seated at a four person table; Second, we had made a reservation unlike the other party; Third, the waitress was pretty insistent about moving us to a different table and had the balls to ask us a number of times how sure we were that they were coming. Was not happy with the way they treated us.

After the better part of an early afternoon spent trying to find somewhere to day drink Pour Boy presented itself as a beacon of drinking salvation- finally, somewhere half-decent we could drink before 4 in Toronto! It also helps that the service was quick, friendly and attentive; the pub has an artsy, warm and cozy atmosphere; the snack food was great; and everything was cheap. Definitely the kind of establishment I could hang out in for a while.

We were waiting for our table at Snakes & Lattes when we decided to head down the street to Pour Boy. Some friends of ours allegedly visit here often, and rave about the cheap dive. Very cool vibe. We went around 8 on a Friday, and it was fairly busy but not packed. It wasn't an issue to get a table. Its 2 levels, and we decided on a cozy table downstairs (lit by a cool little candle). Service was prompt. We ordered 2 double gin & tonics, and after we finished ordering, she immediately went to the bar and made the drinks. The entire process took what seemed to be 2 minutes. She was also very friendly. We got the bill (after another round of drinks). Our 4 doubles brought the bill to a mere $28. Now that's affordable. Note that they accept cash only. Overall, very enjoyable visit, and we would definitely go back again.

Solid atmosphere, great prices. Food is average, not very flexible with customizing orders and menu items. Great for grabbing pints with the crew somewhere hip, casual and ambient.

The pad Thai!!!! Shrimp, chicken, beef... Doesn't matter. Eat it!! After you order the pad Thai... Grab a pint and sit out on the patio. Really great vibe, super friendly staff (slightly odd but in a fun way) and good mix of crowd. Only downside but I guess this applies to any patio on the street, no real privacy and people walking by are very... Very close to you. They look on jealously while you stuff your face with the shrimp pad Thai, extra spicy!! Recommend and will be back again!

One of my favourite places to chill and get a cider. Always suggest it to friends who are wondering where to go after a day in Christie Pits, or shopping in the annex. Kat is one of the best servers in this damn city, and there's usually a table available, even on Fridays.

Disclaimer: I am reviewing the new second location on College Street near Clinton. It must be the Vietnamese ownership, but I have never seen such a menu at a place that presents as a sports bar! And I mean that in the best possible way. The Udon Noodles are a steal at eight bucks, and while I can't understand why it's the same price whether you get them with tofu or shrimp, I'm not complaining and I say gimme the shrimp please! Veggies are crisp tender and cooked to a turn. The most expensive item on the menu is the grilled salmon at nine bucks and while I am tempted to try it, I always end up getting the Udon Noodles. They're just. that. good.

If you want cheap beer and food along with a low key ambiance, this is the place. The vibe is great - low lighting and always a good crowd. The service is always very friendly and they have a rotating menu of craft beer so you don't have to settle for shit beer. The food is nothing special except for the fact that is all costs less than $10 (I believe). The nachos are super unhealthy and I love them for that reason. If you want a chill night out and are about saving those dollars, this is your spot.

I really like this place. They are always fast, friendly, cheap and tasty. They've split bills for parties of 8 for us. Great patio + upstairs has big windows that open, a plus in the summer! Definitely a fave.

pour boy has a decent patio in the middle of Korea town. it's a rather random location for a casual bAr, but the patio is quite amazing during the summer. I quite enjoyed the sangria in the summer but the food is just mediocre, nothing spectacular or memorizing. overall a good place for a random drink in the area, but probably not special enough for a pre-planned event.

Solid atmosphere inside that is much more intimate than pub like...not what I was expecting from the outside. Typical pub like food quality with some oriental spins. Drinks are solid but I was hoping that the selection would be larger. Food was average and the price was average...basically not something that is different. I had a burger and it was average...somehow I was hopping for more pub-like food on the menu. One annoyance is the fact that they don't take credit card so be ready with some cash. Overall, solid pub to chill and grab a drink since it is closeby, but nothing special.
