Bistro Jono Bar is as no-frills as it gets—a classic dive sports bar that sticks to the basics. Cheap pitchers are the main attraction, with a rotating microbrew selection that includes a tasty hemp beer. Hockey fans will find TVs in every direction, and it’s one of the few spots where cheering for the Leafs doesn’t get you thrown out. The vibe is friendly and laid-back; regulars flock here to shoot darts, play pool, and grab cans of Pringles or whatever novelty prizes are in the robo-claw vending machine. Expect good laughs, cheap drinks, and music wars on the jukebox.
