The Place, or Not The Place
The Bistro is an ideal bar for casual gatherings, especially for those low on cash. A narrow, small-sized basement bar with just enough tables and chairs lining the walls, Bistro 422 can be a little cramped in winter, but it’s worth it for the laid-back environment and inexpensive draft. Their notorious house draft is a great price, per pitcher, so this is not the place for individuals looking for upscale beer.
Just Relax
However, for those after a relaxed, no-frills bar with charmingly surly servers, an eclectic, fun clientele, and constant old school punk rock on the stereo, this is the place. Along with pitchers, Bistro 422 serves beer by the bottle and pint, and also offers a number of simple mixed drinks and various shots like “Slippery Nipples.”
A Hidden Treasure
Summertime at Bistro 422 is especially fun since their large back patio (though still open in the winter since it’s fenced in and heated) is in full swing. Located between Toronto’s Little Italy, Kensington Market, China Town and Annex neighbourhoods, Bistro 422 is a great place to find a mix of people, though most patrons are students or punks. The Bistro is a hidden treasure for those who love a good, cheap beer and some interesting company.
