I have figured out some essential things through your site post. One other subject I would like to say is that there are several games on the market designed especially for preschool age children. They include pattern recognition, colors, creatures, and styles.]]>

These are all Taverns. There are no bars in Ontario.
(Taverns are places where people drink at tables (usually with food) - thus drastically reducing social interaction with anyone you don't already know. Very Puritan.]]>

I, too, find some of this site's censorship puzzling at times. I can understand if a comment sis basically a bunch of nonsense and cussing.  However, if a comment is intelligent, although not completely on the exact topic of the initial article, what is the rationale for deleting it?  The above comment from Eskimo talks about something directly related to the article. So what if it is not specifically related to how good or bad a paticular bar is. The comments section is an evolving discussion. It's there for us, the audience, to control.  So long as a comment is not abusive, there is justification for removal. Derek - it seems you have done this before with other posts. I think that you and Tim need to more thoughtfully and objectively apply the sites policies on comment removal, in a more consistent manner. ]]>

As a "white" person, I am offended. Caucasians (like Asians) come from many different backgrounds, so the photos could be multicultural... unless you are only judging people by their skin colour (which you are.) YOU are really the one who has a problem with race. I guess it's ok that there are no disabled people represented in the bar photos? You don't care about that because you are focused on your own bias agenda to look for racism where it isn't. Shame on you.]]>

How in the Christ was Bar Hop not mentioned in this article? They've just expanded to 36 draught taps, the most in the city to my knowledge. They are leaders in offering a diverse and constantly rotating selection of craft beer and high end European imports. ]]>

Anyone expecting any sort of truthfulness in these rankings just needs to look at who won it two years ago to see how ridiculous some of them are - essentially someone's dirty rec room that served only tallboys and microwaved patties and chili(but hey, that's what happens when owner's friends stuff the ballot box). Thankfully the lists since then are noticeably better, but still, they're never going to please everybody. That being said, it's nice to see friend's bars in the top three the last two years :)]]>

I can't believe Bar Hop isn't on this list. Their beer selection is one-of-a-kind and their atmosphere is rustic, comfortable, and lively. This terrible oversight brings question to the rest of the bars on this list. Church on Church looks and sounds more like a club than a bar.]]>

derek,  while i find these bars to represent a portion of what came out this year,  there are very many decent and if not better bars not listed..  these seem like mostly hipster bars...  and to be honest,  mr pongs JUST opened,   how can it get such a star rating without proven success (even though the owners are great) it just looks a bit jumping the gun for hype rather than looking at a decent bar like bar hop or spirit house]]>

Can someone say: Elephant in the room?

Derek, if I'm saying that there're all white people in the photos of the bars that you've mentioned, then how is that not "keep[ing] it focused on the bars in question"?

It's sad that the editor of BlogTO wants to remain willfully blind.  

Go ahead, BlogTO.  Delete my comment, so you can continue living in your bubble. ]]>

Drink at home. I like to go to these bars, but can't afford it. Paying $10 (with tip) for a pint of beer in TO is getting outrageous. When my roommates and I realized how much of our paychecks we were literally pissing away, we decided to drink at home before we head out. Not that the Beer Store and LCBO monopolies make it that much more affordable. Love the Blog TO post on cheapest drinks. Go to those places! ]]>
