Heathers

Probably the coziest bar I've ever been to. Chill enough for one-on-one drinks with an old friend yet intimately casual enough for a post-dinner date. They have nice sized vintage tables which are perfect for birthday gatherings or post-gallery-opening gatherings or girls-night-out gatherings. In fact, there's a big booth in the back with a table that you can take over with a group of 8-10 friends and have a bit of privacy. And one of the best things about Heather's is that they are one of the few places in the city that actually serve wheat-free gluten-free beer! Fah real!
The bar is kinda hidden away a bit from the Ave hub-bub which makes it super nice - not loud and obnoxious. It's the type of place you almost wanna keep secret but be the first of your friends to discover. I love it. And the staff is super awesome.
