YSPC Then & Gone: R.I.P. Toby's on Yonge

A stop on the inaugural Yonge Street Pub Crawl in 2005, Toby's was lost to the wrecking ball some time in 2009 or 2010. In it's place, what else, a condo!

It will be missed.

YSPC Then & Now: Burgundy's

Apparently Burgundy's is the most difficult bar-front to photograph on the Yonge Street Pub Crawl. But they make up for it with a great location and friendly staff.

YSPC Then & Now: Crown & Dragon - A look back at past pub crawl stops

Even though the photos don't exist, the Yonge Street Pub Crawl stopped by the Crown & Dragon on its inaugural run in 2005.

Since 2009 the C&D has become THE late-night snack stop on the YSPC. It's wing menu is extensive with sauces and rubs ranging from tried-n-true to gourmet to the down-right exotic.

YSPC Then & Now: The Duke Gloucester

The Duke of Gloucester is the kind of no-nonsense pub that doesn't give a toss about 'gimmicky' drinking events like the Yonge Street Pub Crawl.

Tucked away above an Indian restaurant, its entrance obscured by the glare from the Panasonic Theatre's marquee, the DofG is a well-worn local. The regulars who dominate its bar look like they greatly appreciate their watering-hole's lack of accessibility and always seem a bit ruffled when a boisterous group of unknowns charge up the stairs.

Last year the YSPC finally cracked the DofG's gruff exterior and managed to get a staff member to pose for the bar-front photo.
