Get Well
Get Well is a strange name, particularly when you start to wonder what they're claiming to cure.
The quirky dĂŠcor is more put together than the standard faux-vintage, mismatched look thanks to a few key pieces.
There's a pair of golden dragons with glowing eyes over the bar, a series of creepy-cute illustrated portraits, and an antique railing that separates a small sitting area from the rest of the space.
But its centerpiece is undoubtedly a cluster of old-school game machines, including Space Invaders, Tetris, and pinball. Get Well has character, and you'll either hate or love the space for it.
For many, Get Well's biggest draw will be its craft beer selection. The crop varies by night, but breweries like Beau's and Wellington are staples.
Get Well is co-owned by Al (from Victory CafĂŠ ) and Jeff and Tim from Sonic Boom . What they know of Toronto - its taste in beer, music, and its penchant for the unconventional - is reflected in Get Well.
