What a delight this place is. Not familiar with Toronto at all, the very patient staff put up with multiple phone calls from us to guide us there coming in via car from the states. Its not that difficult to find, right off Jarvis, once you know the area. It's absolutely charming with very reasonable room rates, and again, a very hospitable and helpful team running the inn. It's also within walking distance to much of gay Toronto with a bevy of bars, clubs and great restaurants nearby. I hope to visit Toronto again and will definitely book here.

The "hoggie" is a great place, whether for an after work winding down cocktail or to meet with a group of friends on the very busy Fri & Sat eves (btwn 9:30 p.m. and 3 a.m are busiest). If you're visiting from out of town, you'll find the clientele friendly and the bartenders - friendlier. And its one place in town you don't have to ask for a "double" to get a decent drink. We live in L.V. and LOVE "The Hog"

Unlike Charlie's Denver and Chicago with their down home friendly crowds but similar to Charlie's Phoenix with the conceited and convinced "they're all that" crowd, don't waste your time nor money. Disinterested staff and unfriendly "wannabes" posing with cowboy hats as though they're in West Hollywood are huge turn offs. Charlie's Phx went down the toilet a few years ago, this place started in the toilet.
