Billy Club

The chilled-out Billy Club is, simply put, a breath of fresh air on the west end of the Allen Street strip, otherwise dominated by party-hearty frat-boy pubs: situated in a bright and airy space in Noel Sutton's stunning Puritan Building, newly renovated after some four decades of vacancy. A small but expertly crafted selection of upscale pub grub is served up from the kitchen by head chef Scott Crombie — check out the "House Grind Burger" topped with arugula, pickled onions, and blue cheese; the hanger steak that comes dressed with braised onions and mini potatoes and drizzled in a blue cheese jus; and a yummy cheese and charcuterie plate — but the real highlight at Billy Club is the bar; see below.
