The Cat Pub and Eatery

What is The Cat Pub and Eatery? Anchoring Dundas Street West just west of Jane Street on the edge of the Junction, The Cat Pub and Eatery is an unpretentious, long-running neighbourhood watering hole. The interior features classic wooden booths, sports screens mounted across the room, and a lively bar poured by friendly regulars. Out back, a spacious, tree-shaded wooden deck offers one of the west end's coziest open-air spots for beer and pub classics.

The Cat Pub and Eatery Menu & What to Order The kitchen turns out reliable, scratch-made comfort fare that goes well beyond standard tavern standards. Start with the house specialty dry spice roaster wings, crisped to order, or the bubbling three-cheese spinach dip. Burger lovers should head straight for the signature Fat Cat Burger, while the shaved beef dip sandwich on toasted Calabrese bread with warm au jus is a perennial crowd-pleaser. Wash it down with a pint from the 12 rotating draught taps highlighting local Ontario craft breweries.

Know Before You Go Tables are largely first-come, first-served with effortless walk-in seating during the afternoon, though Friday karaoke and Saturday live music draw energetic crowds. Dedicated parking is available in the rear lot off Dundas, and the TTC 30 Lambton and 40 Junction buses drop off right nearby. The kitchen and bar keep the lights on late, serving until 2:00 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
