Occasional Toronto: Still Kicking After All These Years

Still Kicking After All These Years

This is the Brunswick House, one of the oldest pubs in the city having opened in 1876 on Bloor St in the Annex, just a few blocks from U of Toronto. The whole building was renovated and restored several years ago and it is extremely popular with the student population around it.
