About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for groups
  • Great for creative cocktails
Open 7 days a week from 11:30am to late! Secure your spot at an indoor booth or on our patio. Built from a converted bank, Paupers' sweeping ceilings, old world flourishes, and gridiron décor are a taste of authenticity that is becoming scarce in Toronto. Our menu is a blend of familiar grub and fresh Canadian pub cuisine, with a selection of local craft beers and exciting signature cocktails. Located steps away from Bathurst subway station, bike lanes and a Green P across the street. Party spaces available for private or semi-private groups. Full food and beverage catering services available.

    Sat on the patio on new table and chairs. Quiet atmosphere led to good converstion. Drinks and food very good. Had one vegan in the group who wished for more choices than on the current menu. Paupers should consider adding more vegan dishes as many vegans are or can be your customers too.

    Our server was great. Very attentive. Our children’s Green Shirley temples was a nice touch on St Patrick’s was perfect and liked playing darts. Good regular pub food though I would say my husbands fish and chips was the preferred dish

    Bar was full despite of a Tuesday evening, we went after an event across the street. Food was great, but the two waitresses were too busy to give the attention to the whole floor, so service speed suffered. They were awesome and caring when you got some of their attention.

    The turkey was turkey rolls, which were over cooked. Very disappointing. The rest of the meal was great. And there was plenty of food.

    Went for a Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve, food can only be described as awful. Turkey was like rubber, stuffing was soggy and we debated if the potato was boxed or not, Our food had obviously been pre-plated and clearly just been left on a hot plate as it was barely even tepid, assuming they were expecting a rush. Definitely won’t be eating in here again.
