The gang found itself in the Etobicoke area after working up a sweat for the better part of the day. Needless to say, we were hungry, so we took a chance on the closest place that had food in the area; Schuey's Bar & Grill.
Schuey's is a medium sized sports bar that dresses the part. There are notable hockey jerseys hung across the ceiling, posters of sports figures everywhere you look, and televisions at every desirable viewing angle. With plenty of booth, bar, and standard seating, if you're looking for somewhere to sit, drink, and watch the game, Schuey's is a solid choice.
That being said, we had no interest in sports that night, and our hearts were set on good food. Between myself and a friend, we ordered nachos, poutine, and fish and chips. In order of preference from most preferred to least, I'd say fish and chips, nachos, then poutine.
If we're being honest, it's hard to mess up a fish and chips, since you've just got to batter your fish, deep fry it, and serve it up with tartar sauce and fries. Still, mission accomplished.
As a self-described nacho connoisseur, I can say that these nachos were middle of the road. They had their upsides and downsides. The chips had a satisfying texture and density, and were toasted, which I welcomed. We ordered our nachos with chili, which I definitely suggest since every chip that I got that had a healthy amount of chili on it was a great bite. Lastly, the various toppings paired well with whatever cheese blend they chose. I got a little annoyed when the plate was served with two shot glass equivalents of salsa and sour cream. We were able to ask for more, but the amount that we were originally served was laughably inadequate to eat the nachos. (We actually laughed.) As for topping coverage, as with all nachos, it was great on top, but surprisingly not horrendous beneath that top layer. It wasn't great, but it wasn't horrendous.
If I were to simply take the food and rate the experience, I would say that everything was passable. Still, I left Schuey's with a sour taste in my mouth because the service didn't quite cut it. I get the feeling that the bar staff weren't used to serving large groups. We were left with no water for weirdly long periods of time, the waitress gave us a pained and annoyed look when we suggested we were going to split the bill between the two of us, and there wasn't much of an attempt made at cordiality.
Again, if I were in the area and wanted to watch the game with drinks, I would consider Schuey's... but even then I'd think twice about it. Head to Schuey's if you'd like. You won't have a bad time, but it probably won't be the best. -

Sweet little dive bar located off of Martin Grove right neat the airport. The old signage and exterior decor might have you mistaken it for a airport stripclub or live music venue. That, it is not. Through and through this is a classic sportsbar meets divebar.
It's the type of cheap and cheerful location you and your buddies will hit up for a pint of Coors Light or Molson Canadian after a hockey game and grab chicken wings until you're ready to puke.
Nothing over the top special, nothing bad, just a genuine old reliable bar. The Patio is nice but be warned that the overhead planes are frequent so just plan on drinking or smoking out there.

Best fish fry I have ever had. Ever. Friendly, good beer selection, and divey. Perfect.

Great dive bar for lunch if you are in the area. The staff is accommodating if you want to change up your choices a bit. I got the chicken sandwich and it was great. It's a little dead for lunch, which is probably because of the decorah. This is a true 80s rock bar.
