Last night we tried a new bar that just opened the other day in our hood. Reposado is a cool casual bar with friendly staff and a specialty in tequila. For Toronto, the tequila selection is pretty good, and we had a "flight" of three tequilas, a white (not good for sipping, more for shooting), an anejo, and a reposado. The last two were quite sippable and flavorful. We had some beers with the tequila tastes, and chatted with the two bartenders and other patrons. They had a few good beers on tap, including Delirium Tremuns and a wheat beer. I had a Negro Modelo in a bottle to go with the Mexican tequilas.
They are working on their menu, so far they serve some ceviches and gazpacho, but are working on that.
We are happy to have a bar open so nearby with such a great vibe and friendly people, and I am sure we will be back at Reposado soon.

Check your credit card statements
Was on vacation last week, so this refers to something that happened two weeks ago, but I still want to mention it as a warning to people.
I checked my online credit card statement and noticed a transaction from the previous day for a restaurant/bar I had not been to in 5 months. Yet, I was being charged $80+ by them. I immediately called my credit card company and explained the situation. The specialist on the phone was very helpful and told me that yes, the charge was manually keyed in, not swiped. Of course it was as I had my card on me and hadn't been there! The charge was from that Tuesday night, and I only went to the gym, not out for drinks! So, it looks like I used my card at this establishment in February, someone there held onto the info, or got access to the saved files, and re-used my number to collect $80 out of the cash register in July.
Please keep an eye on your credit card statements and call if anything looks suspicious like this. The fact that the number was manually entered and that I called so fast should help clear this off my statement so I shouldn't have to pay for what I did not get. Just a warning!
This happened at Scallywags. To tell the truth, the night I went I was pretty pissed because the bartender was an ASSHOLE. He was rude and disrespectful and knew nothing of service. I haven't been back in 5 months because he was an asshole, and because it's not that good a place and I have no cause to go. Now I have even less reason to return.
