Sometimes, you just want a beer from a surly old barkeep who made poor decisions in life, in surroundings only the sarcastic would label "atmosphere." Welcome to XYYZ's favourite dives east of Yonge.

Years after the smoking ban, the Duke of Gloucester still smells like your grandfather's car seat. Perilous steps are badly slanted but sticky enough to prevent a tumble. Enjoy perfect greasy hangover breakfasts. 649 Yonge Street, (416) 961-9704.

McVeigh's New Windsor Tavern is rough around the edges and, well, the middle too. Deformed paintings of Ireland's poets decorate the walls. It's old-school Catholic. If you have opinions about Ulster, keep them to yourself. 124 Church Street at Richmond, (416) 364-9698.

The Ulster Arms lost its loyalist (and most other) teeth years ago, their orange streak faded to a nicotine stain. Ancient codgers stare at the hockey game, sipping beer you can still order for less than a buck. 1345 Gerrard Street East,

(416) 466-5325.

"What? I answered the phone! I must be open!" welcomes the bartender just down Gerrard at the Maple Leaf Tavern. Clearly, few of its patrons are online much. 955 Gerrard Street East, (416) 463-6309.

Noah's Ark Tavern is popular with homesick Maritimers reviling Hogtown. Don't call your broker on your Blackberry from this place. 2777 Danforth Ave. at Dawes Road, (416) 690-6222.

Hey, there's a concert happening soon "The Roger's Picnic" with some pretty good bands. It's on July 20th at the Historic Fort York. Tokyo Police Club, Vampire Weekend, The Carps (siiiick band from scarbs), City and Colour, and some other people are performing.

I'm personally looking forward to TPC the most. Also, Albert Hammond Jr. is touring right now, hopefully he makes a stop in Toronto again. That would be fucking sweet.

the rogers picnic is doomed. dudes forgot to book an act anyone cares about and then in comes guerilla union and books a momumental lineup for rock the bells on the same night. anyone who decides on rogers either a) has bad taste or B) works for rogers.

ive worked for those dudes nuff times and even my shitty loyalty says fuck them because pharcyde is reuniting. fuck an $5 bottle of water and emo scenesters. im breaking out the jansport.

Dudes Boris is coming this month, anyone into getting crazy stoned and rocking back and forth???

Also, someone told me the Silver Jews are coming September 2nd? That could be cool or it could completely ruin everything. I'm conflicted. Whatever, I'm sure there will be plenty of webzine editorials to tell me what to think.

Well I'm personally going for Tokyo Police Club specifically. I missed an opprotunity to see them at the Opera House, and this is my second chance to see them. The Rock the Bells festival seems like it would be amazing though. Tribe, mos def, dela, rakim, nas....wow. It's like all the best REAL hip-hop artists are going to be performing. If I even knew about this, I might've been going to that instead :(

Ohwell, hopefully TPC doesn't dissapoint. And I have Albert Hammond Jr. to look forward to later.
