I cannot rave enough about the Old Sod Pub! This hidden gem is an absolute haven for the LGBTQ+ community, offering an inclusive and welcoming environment that celebrates diversity. As someone who is passionate about supporting establishments that champion equality and acceptance, I am over the moon with my experiences here.Now, let's get to the highlight of my week: drag nights every Thursday! These lively evenings are an absolute blast, as the Old Sod Pub invites local drag queens to grace the stage with their fabulous performances. The energy in the air is infectious, and the entertainment is top-notch. Whether you're a seasoned drag enthusiast or new to the scene, these nights are guaranteed to leave you wanting more!Speaking of wanting more, the Old Sod Pub truly goes above and beyond during Pride Month. Their month-long discount of 50% off is an incredible gesture that shows their genuine commitment to supporting and celebrating the LGBTQ+ community. It's refreshing to see a business not only embrace Pride Month but also actively participate in making it a memorable experience for all.In addition to their exceptional events and promotions, the Old Sod Pub serves as a hub for meeting other queer individuals. This place exudes a sense of community, making it the perfect spot to connect with like-minded people. Whether you're a regular or a first-time visitor, you'll find yourself surrounded by friendly faces and open hearts.After the vibrant Pride Parade, my friends and I always make it a point to head over to the Old Sod Pub to continue the celebration. It has become our go-to place for post-parade festivities, and it never disappoints. The atmosphere is electric, the staff is friendly, and the joy is contagious. Trust me when I say, this place knows how to keep the Pride spirit alive!I wholeheartedly recommend the Old Sod Pub to anyone seeking a safe and inclusive space to relax, enjoy amazing drinks, and revel in the beauty of drag performances. It's so much more than just a pub; it's a beacon of love, acceptance, and celebration. Thank you, Old Sod Pub, for being an incredible supporter of the LGBTQ+ community and for providing us with unforgettable experiences. I can't wait to come back for more!

I’ve been coming here for years, and enjoy the old time atmosphere. But $17 for a small basket of wings, now without any veggies or dip is outrageous. The Old Sod used to have $10 baskets of wings (see old menu pic below) which included celery, carrots and dipping sauce. I would not have ordered the wings had I known the price and that they’d deleted the veggies and dip. Also they’ve deleted the mild, med and hot options, it’s now take what you get. On top of this I ordered a basket of fries for $4 and I swear you get more fries in a medium cup at McDonald’s. I appreciate that ingredient costs have increased, but I can’t justify $17 for a small basket of wings. The whole point of going to dive bars is to have a few pints with your mates, listen to some tunes and enjoy some cheap bar food. I fear the Old Sod has lost its way.

Just finish out out takeout. The brisket is just amazing and we loved the baked beans! Definitely putting this in our takeout rotation. My don said pickup was delightful. There is parking in the rear and the staff made sure that he knew about the best place to park. In addition we got a lovely note and a glass!

Great bar, not always the busiest along bloor but it is the favourite among friends. Never have eaten there but the drinks are fairly priced. Love music nights are always packed and very lively as well as the karaoke nights. Always see some old friends or schoolmates then whenever I go. Would recommend checking it out for a pint or two or to add it for a pub crawl destination. Good location along bloor, very close to ry subway.

Owners got some buddies who show up on the regular, drink too much & become belligerent with fellow patrons. He doesn’t seem to care what so ever about the way this affects public opinion on his establishment. Terrible business owner. Maybe he’s a great money maker but there’s much more that when it comes to owning a business in customer service. They also make him look bad when they call him by his first name & reference him as their “boy”. Will never be going back to this establishment. I highly recommend everyone stays away from this faux Irish bar & stays away from his three buddies. They are violent when drunk. (P.S “Tyler” hope you enjoyed my review. This is what happens when you protect your bully friends. This happened 5 years ago and I still remember your name. I’m THAT petty :)

So we got 4 spiced rum and cokes all made at the same time .Half way through a couple of us had realized how watered down they were. We brought this to the bartenders attention showing her that all four drinks were different colours and if made at the same time they shouldn't be. After this another person in our party of 4 had ordered 4 Heineken bottles which we received and as my friend was paying, the options on the machine were 15%, 18%, & 20%. I had pushed the option for custom amount after tipping pretty big on the first 4 ( disappointing) rum and cokes. The lady to the right of my friend said I don't really think that's your button to push" I said I came here with these guys and we can push what we want

Used to be a good spot.. I come here often. recently on weekends the owners washed up band play live music and think it’s a concert venue with the volume cranked up so loud nobody in the bar can hear each other. Feel bad for the girls bar tending they actually had earplugs in… even with the music being that loud nobody was paying attention to the band it’s pretty sad cause the music isn’t bad but nobody can enjoy themselves, it felt like he’s trying to live out his fantasy of being a rockstar at his own bar. Unfortunate to see how little he cares about any of his customers trying to enjoy their time.

The sod has been in my life for a long time. It’s overpriced but a place that will always have a special place in my life. Stick to the drinks, not to the food.
