Where BOB Coffee Bar used to be, The Davenport has taken up shop. Now serving up some serious pub fare alongside a rotating wine list, you can still count on this spot for your caffeine fix but also, so much more. Slip in for a burg or duck confit wings served with a glass of sparkling as the ideal way to end the work-week.
Address: 440 Christie Street
The Burren Pub

Another spot replacing an old fav, The Burren Pub is now open in the previous home of The Ceili Cottage. And respectfully so. With a name and vibe inspired by the west coast of Ireland, this rustic eatery serves up elevated fare including quail wings, deep-fried pâté, and fresh oysters, plus plenty of Guinness. Enjoy yours in one of two dining rooms, at the bar, or on the patio.
