The staff doesn't seem to know much about it, and until they put "What is Real Ale?" info cards on the tables a couple of weeks ago, there was no indication on the menu or elsewhere that they were even serving it. Hopefully, they can sell enough of it to keep it fresh, and also keep it available all the time.<br /><br />And I won't argue with you about the atmosphere being a bit cavernous. If I hadn't been going there for so many years & didn't live in the neighbourhood, I probably wouldn't be as keen to visit very often. But when a place is 2 blocks from my house and has some of the cheapest microbrew in town, I'm willing to cut them more slack. :)Greg Clowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07207737747838772143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31217351.post-20534775046275266172006-12-29T09:31:00.000-05:002006-12-29T09:31:00.000-05:00I went there for some cask ale with a couple of fr...I went there for some cask ale with a couple of friends las Saturday. No cask. disappointing.<br /><br />I've only been there once before, and found it to be a bit cavernous and not realy comfortable. Good selection of beer, good prices, but there's something lacking. I live further east on Queen, at Niagara, and there's nothing at the Rhino to convince me to take that little extra effort to get there. The cask pump would have done the trick, but if it's not reliable ...<br /><br />A good place to check out for beer selection and atmosphere is the Cloak and Dagger at College and Bathurst. They've got cask, Wellington Arkell, unfortunately (it's one of the blander casks around), but at least they try.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
