The patio is fantastic on a summer's evening as you get to judge all the Club District people going by. ;)
New number is 416-966-5050.
Colin.
I've never in my life witnesses the wholesale destruction of something that worked so perfectly well. Why?! Truly a loss to Toronto's beer scene.
I was told at the new place that Joe was there that night, the waitress pointed him out to me and I said it wasn't the original Joe. She assured me it was, but it wasn't.
I knew it wasn't for a few reasons...but mainly because as we were leaving...he was outside...smoking.
The original Joe hated smoke...and lived above the bar...hence Smokeless Joe's.
Sad I didn't go there more when he was still around.
The man you knew as the "original Joe" was the original owner of smokeless joe's, but is not joe. The original owner sold the bar over 12 years ago to a gentleman named Joe. Ironic as the original owner was not named Joe.
The 'new' Joe typically still walks around and speaks to customers, gets to know the regulars, and yes - talks and samples beer.
Just thought you needed to know.
