Absolute Comedy Toronto
Absolute Comedy at Young and Eglinton has become somewhat of a regular haunt for me, and despite a few quirks, it's been mostly a fun ride.
The staff, seem to have their off days and on days. Luckily, my visits have mostly been on the sunny side, with friendly faces making the experience all the more enjoyable. The staff is usually VERY happy when you choose to sit in the front because it makes their lives easier and I LOVE a good front row in a comedy show.
I have a bit of a secret weapon for getting in—the free tickets from their post-show raffle. It's like hitting the comedy jackpot, and I always try to round up some pals to fill the club with laughs.
Sean deserves a special shoutout. Dealing with him is a breeze—he's friendly, straight to the point, and always helps me snag those coveted tickets without a hitch.
Now, onto the slightly peculiar stuff. The club has this thing about not offering tap water, which has left me with a bad dry taste in my mouth.
And let's not forget the bathroom stalls. The gaps between the doors and the floor are, well, quite tall. It's like having an unintentional bonding session with strangers while you're in there.
Despite these little oddities, Absolute Comedy is a gem. With its mix of laughs, friendly faces (mostly), and the thrill of the raffle, it's a spot I'll keep coming back to. Come for the laughs and embrace the "communal" bathroom experience!

Ground Burger Bar
Ground Burger Bar in Newmarket is a must-visit for burger enthusiasts! Their smash burgers are incredibly tasty, cooked to perfection. Pair them with their crispy curly fries, which are delicious especially when dipped in their malt vinegar aioli. The onion rings and Flamin' Hot mozzarella sticks make fantastic starters, but be warned—these will fill you up, so it's best to order them if you have a group of more than two. Trust me, you'll be too full to finish your main meal otherwise!
The service here is top-notch, friendly and attentive. And if you have a sweet tooth, don't leave without trying their deep-fried Oreos. They're so good that my wife insists we limit our visits just because of those irresistible treats. Ground Burger Bar is definitely a spot worth returning to!

Charming decor and great service. I like that there is a dance floor and a DJ.
Don’t come here if you are coming for the games. Unfortunately, most games are not in working order. I’m not even talking about the ones labeled “out of order” I’m talking about the ones that are on and ready for people to play. Buttons are not working and some sticks are not working. Cabinet variety is also low.
