[tpm] Exploring alternative post-meeting venues

[Mark Jubenville]

I'm fine with either of the choices Mike suggested.  In fact I'd say I like
them both better than Burgundy's to tell you the truth =)

 

Other alternatives in the area:

 

The Duke of Gloucester

http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q
<http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&source=s_q&gl=ca&g=12+Isabella+Street%2C+Tor
onto%2C+ON+M4Y+1N1&q=bars+nears+yonge+and+bloor&btnG=Search+Maps>
&source=s_q&gl=ca&g=12+Isabella+Street%2C+Toronto%2C+ON+M4Y+1N1&q=bars+nears
+yonge+and+bloor&btnG=Search+Maps

But  I think it gets fairly busy too normally, but no idea what it's like on
Thursdays in particular.

 

The Pilot Tavern

http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q
<http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&source=s_q&gl=ca&g=12+Isabella+Street%2C+Tor
onto%2C+ON+M4Y+1N1&q=bars+nears+yonge+and+bloor&btnG=Search+Maps>
&source=s_q&gl=ca&g=12+Isabella+Street%2C+Toronto%2C+ON+M4Y+1N1&q=bars+nears
+yonge+and+bloor&btnG=Search+Maps

(I think we briefly discussed this already perhaps?)

 

Slightly further than the Artful Dodger / Duke of Gloucester (on Bay instead
of Yonge)

Mullin's Irish Pub

http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q
<http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&source=s_q&gl=ca&g=12+Isabella+Street%2C+Tor
onto%2C+ON+M4Y+1N1&q=bars+nears+yonge+and+bloor&btnG=Search+Maps>
&source=s_q&gl=ca&g=12+Isabella+Street%2C+Toronto%2C+ON+M4Y+1N1&q=bars+nears
+yonge+and+bloor&btnG=Search+Maps

 

Bah now I'm hungry and thirsty though.

After January's meeting we decamped to Burgundys, and it was unusually full.
What are other people's thoughts on trying other bars within walking
distance of the Yonge / Bloor intersection for post-meeting venues?

What do other people consider walking distance?

A couple of places I know and quite like are:

* The Spotted Dick - 81 Bloor St E.  170 m from Yonge and Bloor (2 minutes
walk according to google maps)
* The Artful Dodger - 12 Isabella St  350 m from Yonge and Bloor (4 minutes
walk according to google maps)

Both these places have tolerable levels of noise in my experience, and both
have wi-fi.

Anyone have any other ideas for around Yonge / Bloor?  Anyone have opinions
about what's desirable in a post-meeting venue?

Anyone have feelings one way or the other about trying another place after
the February and / or March meetings?

Regards,

Mike
