Rising Sun Inn

Wander to the corner of Pharmacy and Lawrence to stand at the very crossroads where the Wexford community was born in the 1840s, anchored by a lively inn that eventually gave the neighbourhood its Irish-inspired name. It's the kind of low-key historical detour that makes you see a familiar intersection in a completely new light. A perfect micro-adventure for anyone who loves uncovering the quiet origin stories woven into Toronto's east end. Perfect for after work — drop in solo or bring a friend. No experience necessary.
