WE'LL PROVIDE THE DRINKS;
YOU BRING THE FOOD!!

WHAT DO WE MEAN WHEN WE SAY BYOF?

You've probably heard of the expression BYOB, right (bring your own beer)? Well BYOF is a similar acronym, except it stands for bring your own food.

We encourage all of our customers to bring in your favourite foods from any of the surrounding businesses, and enjoy your meal with one of our reasonably priced drinks on the menu.

What about if you get hungry after you arrive at the bar? Not a problem. Say you and a friend come by for a drink after work; you want pizza and your friend wants a falafel. Forget the debate; you can order both for delivery right to the bar. UberEATS and Foodora will also deliver any orders you place through your phone; the address to provide is 388 Richmond Street West.

If you need some ideas, there are a number of eateries in the neighbourhood. Make sure you check the hours of each location.

We have a slogan that we live by: we'll provide the drinks, you bring the food. Choose whatever food you like and come on by for a cold one.
