The oysters are so good I came back a second time in same night. Joey and Hayley were so good to me and my dog!!! The food is always on point here.

Very cosy bar for a casual bite and to hang out with friends. The burger is definitely worth the hype and bonus points for being on the happy hour menu.

The burger really was that good. It’s the type of burger where the beef is the star of the show, nicely caramelized and high quality so all the extra toppings aren’t needed. Definitely one of the best burgers I have had.

We finished it off with a slice of key lime pie, which was also excellent. Highly recommend.

Extremely busy place, would recommend getting a reservation.

This place was a solid 4, food wasn’t anything crazy but it was good. We had the trout dip which was fire, as well as their burger - it was great! The bruschetta toast with the white sardine however was not my favourite, for a simpler option you might like it though. cocktails were also good.

Food was great, not too much variety on the menu though as the focus I think is on their speciality with burgers perhaps but it was fantastic! I would just caution that the fries are a tad bit too salty but otherwise everything was great ;)

Spent $100 for two beers, two burgers and fries.

The location and atmosphere was nice, but way too expensive. The burger was tasty, but not exceptional.

Finally tried the famous prime rib burger and it absolutely lived up to the hype — juicy, rich, and so satisfying. The Comrade has such a dark, cozy atmosphere that makes it perfect for a date night or intimate dinner. Definitely a Leslieville staple worth visiting.

Great place to relax and hang out. No pressure. Just a great overall atmosphere, great drinks and beautiful staff.

Elizabeth took extra special care of me and my boys. If only I had snapped a photo of the Key Lime Pie. Yes, it's their only dessert and yes it is good. However, if you want the blow your socks off experience the Key Lime Pie requires you to have, order a cocktail.
You'll have to ask Elizabeth for the recommendation because it was a buddies cocktail I "had to try" and now can't remember what my cocktail experience was. But I suspect any cocktail will give you the punch you need.

Had a great time late night. Met some people at another table. Fun was had.
Sorry no photos. Guess I need to go back.

My friend and I passed by here on a Wednesday evening. Overall, the ambiance is really nice. Love the cozy dark vibe they have going on. We ordered the 3 cheese snack to share, and I got the staring at the sun drink. The 3 cheese was ok, don’t really think it was worth the $27. The presentation also could have been a bit better. Service was a bit slow in the beginning but started to get better at the end, just took a while for us to put in our order. Overall, I don’t think I’d go out of my way to return.

I went here for dinner for a date night with the hubby and really enjoyed it. The ambience is moody, warm and inviting, and it definitely gets busy, which adds to the lively atmosphere. The burger was incredible, cooked perfectly and full of flavour, and the drinks were just as good. A great place to spend an evening out.

Great place for drinks on the patio. The vibe inside is very dark but cozy. Food and drinks were delicious. The burger is a must have. A good all around juicy burger. We also had the beef tartar and eggplant katsu. Menu changes weekly so there's always new things to try. Glad I was able to check out this spot as we don't usually find ourselves that far east of downtown.

4.5 / 5. Great vibe. Chill crowd but very diverse. Has an eclectic vibe with stuffed animals on the walls, a designer ceiling and brick walls. All wood bar.

Has a relaxed, but up pace vibe. I wish I lived beside it and stopped in once a week for life kind of energy.

Polite staff and bartender was a pro. Cocktails are sensational (menu has about 7 staples) and not like cosmos or martinis (you can get those too). Drinks were complex, fun and so flavourful.

I don’t eat, but the menu was super tempting. Well run. Interesting East Toronto. Area.

It's not a big menu but the steak frits was delicious 😋. Great vibe and good drinks if you're looking for a great place to meet up before a concert at the Opera House across the street. Pic was just as they opened, 15 mins later it was full. Service was great and friendly.
