JUST PRINCE

"I like talking music and I like singing music and I know a little bit, just some basics, how to speak that language... I try and look for that unique sound because I don't wanna be sounding like anyone else."

TECHNO WESTERNS

"It's just so good to be back in front of people, especially where I think everyone has just been stuck inside so long, especially young people... they've missed really vital parts of their life and now they're just trying to get out and have fun."

ANGELINA MACKINNON

"The world's dark enough, why not put a little bit of light in it? Now even more than ever I know my place in the world, and that is to bring y'all some good tunes."

RAHAEL

"People are dying to go to concerts, to feel that intensity in their veins with people they don't know... it makes people feel united and alive."

MADDEE

"Prioritizing queer voices, black voices, any marginalized voices, prioritizing those voices at shows and on bills... there's just an immense amount of talent and it takes very little effort to look for it."

QUARTERBACK

"I think that when people aren't political that they're doing a disservice to their fans, to their community, and to everyone. I think it's annoying."

VESTIGIO

"I think during the pandemic it really laid bare to the world in general the real injustice in the way that we've structured our societies. It just doesn't make sense."

ANKH EL BONGZ

"Music has an extremely profound effect on our culture.“

ZEESHAN LALANI

"Music keeps us going. Wherever we are, how sad, how good we are, we have a friend we can always fall back on to."

QUEZAL

“We're on the forefront of actual change, let's do something cute, let's do some nice shows, let's do some inclusive shit."

Mad Nice is smooth. Like your typical New England IPA, it's got that big silky body that we've come to expect, but the smoothness we're talking about here is in the hops. The flavour from the combination of Citra, Simcoe, Idaho 7 and Talus creates a hop experience that is somehow punchy and mouth watering while being polished and almost effortless. Tangerine, apricot and peach are all prevalent with the subtlest pine and floral characteristics rounding it all out. 6.3% 16oz.

Eastbound “Houndstooth” Irish Red Ale

Pouring a bright coppery red with a thick white head on it this malty ale is perfect for any pub session. Roasted malts bring notes of caramel and toasted rye with a little touch of fruit from the Irish Ale yeast. 5.1%. 20oz.

Karbon “J.E.D.I” IPA

A full-bodied hazy golden ale with fruity hop aroma and a sweet finish. J.E.D.I stands for “justice, equity, diversity, inclusion.” If you’re not down with that, you’re in the wrong place. 6.5%. 16oz

Oast House “Pap’s Pilsner”

A highly approachable German style pilsner, featuring the classic upfront fresh bread-like character. We didn’t write that, Oast House did. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. 4.8%. 20oz.

Beau’s Lugtread

$8.5

Beau’s famous lagered ale. 5.2%. 20oz.

Nickel Brook "Black Light" All-Night Stout

Velvety notes of dark chocolate and roasty coffee make Black Light a silky smooth all night stout. Perfect for fireside star gazing. 4.5% 20oz.

Blood Brothers “Paradise Lost” Spiced Cherry Sour

Beer aged on a blend of spices to create flavours reminiscent of cherry pie and mulled wine. 16oz. 6.0%

Beer - Cans

We provide a great selection of Ontario craft beer and old favourites.

Pabst Blue Ribbon

America’s best beer 1893 is also available in tall can! A gold medal is a gold medal forever! 4.9%. 473ml.

Wilda Dry Hopped Honey Brew

Poor gluten-free people. Whenever they go into a bar, their options are cider or kinda rubbish beer. Not at Handlebar, baby! "Feels Like Friday" mead has been added to the fridge. It’s basically honey, water and yeast, and is a gluten-free alternative to beer. $7. 355ml can.

Left Field “Bang-Bang” Dry Hopped Sour

A refreshing sour that pops with freshly sliced lemon, papaya, sour candy, tangerine and hints of pineapple. You’ll hit the ground, let it shoot you down. 5.5%. 355ml

Woodhouse Lager

Who’s house? Woodhouse! 5%. 473ml.

Woodhouse IPA

Same caption at the Woodhouse Lager but this one is IPA. 6%. 473ml.

Blood Brothers “Blood Light”

$8.5

Order this delicious pale ale and our staff will think you’re cool. We already think you’re cool, this will just confirm it. 4.5%. 355ml.

High Road “Bronan” Vermont IPA

Citrus notes imparting a wonderful tropical flavour perfectly balanced with sweet malt undertones and hop bitterness, “Bronan” has proved to be the turning point for many a night. Tonight, that could be you! 7.1%. 473ml.

Guinness

Look, no shade, we all have blind spots in life. For example, one of our staff has never seen “The Sound of Music." It’s the person writing this caption. How widely seen is that movie nowadays anyway? Stop giving me grief for never spending three hours with the Von Trapp Family!

My point is that people probably expect you to know what a Guinness is. It’s OK if you don’t. Guinness is a stout. Have a great day.

4.2%. 500ml.
