Any thoughts on the Brass Taps? No, not the Brass Rail.

Along Carlton near where Erst Zundel used to live there are at least one or two restaurants in the basement of row buildings. I'm not sure how they stay in business.

Why - were they popular watering holes for hatemongers, Beez?

 

[Admiral Beez]

No, because they're rather hidden out of view. There was a Tapas place there for a while I believe.

I believe Zundel sold that place years ago, but it's still got the fortress-like windows, gates, etc. The mounts for the cameras are gone now. Apparently a bunch of university students live there now.

I think one is called Piccolo's? I heard it's decent, which was more than I was expecting...

I can't fathom how any of those establishments on Carlton (East of Sherbourne) survive.

It would help if Picicolos had a website listed on http://www.oldcabbagetown.com/entmnt_restaurants.php?sort=1 where we could see the menu. It's the 00s, folks, time to get on the web.

Haven't frequeneted their Cabbagetown location, but their west-end one is alright. Great variety of yummy pizzas, but that's pretty much the only unique thing about what is otherwise a slightly better version of the Gabby's chain.

BTW, I've been to the Brass Rail twice!

I had my first underage drink in a bar at the Brass Rail - just after WW2

I've been to that Riverdale favourite called "Jilly's" once too!

 

[adma]

Yeah, Jillys. The best half-rounds on Broadview

I got dragged recently to the Brass Rail with some friends too. Is my membership revoked as well (I just got approved??).

 

[adma]

Come on now. With all that plastic and silicone, those Brass Rail chix might as well be tranny.

Ever see recent pics of Jenna Jameson?

 

[RJR123]

From what I recall, most of them are former Montrealers, here trying to make a buck.

All former Montrealers that set up here came to make a buck. I just didn't realize that they were predominant in one particular field.
