Part of the Gay Toronto Guide — bars, events & things to do.
Toronto, Ontario
British-style Firkin pub at Church and Maitland, since 1987.
The Churchmouse is a British-style pub on the corner of Church and Maitland, part of the local Firkin Pubs group and a fixture of the Gay Village since 1987. It does what a neighborhood pub should: traditional pub fare, a rotating lineup of local and international taps, and a sidewalk patio that's one of the better warm-weather perches for watching Church Street go by. The crowd is a steady mix of neighborhood regulars and visitors, and the feel is unpretentious, a place to relax over a pint rather than a destination night out. Recurring events like 'Country Crush' on Thursdays give the week some shape, but the draw is mostly the easy, welcoming room and the patio. For a traveler, it's a reliable spot to eat and regroup in the middle of the Village before heading to the louder bars nearby.
