The Hole In The Wall
2867A Dundas St WThis is a very cozy bar!
This brewery is in an heritage listed former incinerator, has food and is open til 11 (unlike most breweries that close at 9). It's in the abbatoir district, it's a bit remote and far from other things, but it's beside two other breweries. Tip: If you're biking, walking or taking transit, take Symes from St. Clair through the residential area. There's a fence that blocks the road to cars, but let's people through. Otherwise, google maps will direct you to walk the long way around past the slaughterhouses and empty warehouses.

Parks & Nature
A huge city park - this is a great park to get lost in. It has tonnes of natural hiking trails, also sports fields and a big hill overlooking the pond. Check out the zoo, swim in the free outdoor pool or check out the outdoor Shakespeare in the summer.
The Grenadier Cafe in the park has decent food - tip: go to the restaurant in the back for the same food but no line up.
