Give it a try:
One of the best places to grab drinks and share plates with friends in Toronto’s East-end is Goods and Provisions. This gem has a speakeasy vibe with a refined yet simple menu that will leave you wanting to order one of everything on the menu. We recommend starting with a pint of Lug-Tread and the jamon croquetas.
What’s Steve drinking?
Holla from NOLA! Last week Steve was enjoying some great beers, sunshine and a little R&R in New Orleans, so we’re giving a tip of the hat to some great beers he discovered.
While at The Maison, he ordered a glass of the NOLA Brewing and Left Hand collaboration brew, “Hey!” This coffee saison is brewed with coffee from popular cafe and roastery, Hey! and marked the official distribution of Left Hand to Louisiana.
Thanks to Crescent City Brewhouse for the warm welcome! This is a great place to grab a beer and listen to some live music. The IPA is a must try.
