Duke of York Inn

Step into one of Toronto's most storied watering holes and feel the weight of over 150 years of East End history. The Duke of York Inn has been welcoming locals since the 1870s, originally built by brick merchant James Morin using his own pressed bricks. Pull up a stool, order a pint, and soak in a space that has outlasted empires, pandemics, and every passing Toronto trend — a rare, living piece of the city's past. Perfect for after work — drop in solo or bring a friend. No experience necessary.
