10 Things to do in Islington-City Centre West That You Shouldn't Miss

December 17, 2021 Flossie Demartino

We've heard Toronto described as "New York City run by the Swiss," and it's true—you can find world-class theater, shopping and restaurants here, but the sidewalks are clean and the people are friendly. The best place to start is literally at the top—the CN Tower, the tallest freestanding structure in the Western Hemisphere.

Had the Teriyaki Sirloin steak - medium rare -with baked potato (twice baked) and beans for my vegies...and a couple of glasses of wine...absolutely delicious - ...F.Y.I. ..I told my waiter that I wanted to use a gift card and since the value of the card was more than my bill I asked if I could use the card and could it include the bill and the tip. This was totally acceptable by the Keg. This was a nice surprise since I had been to other restaurants where they would accept the gift card only for the meal - and you would pay for the wine and the tip for the waiter separately....Kudos to the Keg...will be back..p.s. my waiter was Fabricio who was excellent.

Cineplex Cinemas Queensway & VIP

Reviewed By jossc109

Very impressed by the beauty of the bar, the private bathrooms, the artwork and lounge /eating area outside of each vip theatre. Loved it. Must be 19 an over. Large tequila cocktail bowls and great bistro /pub food can be ordered in theatre. Arrive early to order, as you will not be able to order once the movie starts to avoid interruption. Currently $69 on Wednesday for 2 people including food. Great deal.

The Rock Pile Bar & Nightclub

Reviewed By parliamentgoldman

The emphasis on rock and roll is real, great place to find rocker friends. There are jam nights on regular Mondays. They have a house band that will play with you if you want them to do that. I like to observe the jam, though I don't know anybody until I come. Don't be too shy to come, even if you're young. It is legal for them to have minors so long as you're older than sixteen or if less than sixteen, accompanied with an adult. You won't be allowed to sit at a bar stool if you're less than nineteen, but there's plenty of restaurant seating and the stage is close to the audience, just hang around there. They're happy to have you enjoying the music, or even playing music if it's jam night. It's a very wide space, music is the main focus. They have lighting upgrades and refined audio. The staff rock and will befriend you without pretense. Sit in one of their classic captain chairs and eat poutine, veggie wraps or a burger, ect . Freely stroll the floor and admire the posters of events/free mug shot photobooth, or walk down a hallway they call, "Death Row" which is a one-of-a-kind museum to honor the bands and people who make up the RockPile's history. Oh, there's also a pure Heavy Metal Jam that's become routine. Certainly come out for the charity events they host throughout a year's time. They have a lot of all-ages stuff going on. They periodically collect for The Daily Bread Food Bank, Toys for Tots, and Warm Clothing for Toronto's Homeless.
