Featured Beverage: Seaview Brut
Jawny Bakers Bar & Lounge
JB’s bar has always been a favourite with our Guests over the years. Back in the day our Guests could enjoy a game of darts, watch local bands or throw their peanut shells on the floor of their local watering hole, the 804 Alehouse. But as we have matured with time, like a good wine, so has our bar clientele.
When the by-law was introduced to ban smoking in bars and restaurants we seized upon the opportunity to create an environment that would appeal to all of our Guests and move away from the misconception of a “smoky bar" for dedicated “drinkers”.
The fireplace is the focal point of the Lounge where our guests can sit in the comfort of our leather tub chairs. Whether here for dinner, drinks or to catch a sporting event, the JB’s Bar and Lounge can cater to all of our Guest's needs. We offer the same full menu offering as the dining room and our knowledgeable and professional bar staff offers a personalized dinner experience.
The JB’s Bar and Lounge offers all the chic and comfort of any downtown establishment right in the heart of East York. Come join us for a drink and make JB’s your local.

Featured Beverage: Lindeman's Bin 50 Shiraz
Thursday, December 8, 2011
Featured Beverage: Weihenstephan Heffeweissen (Wheat Beer)
As a comparable beer, we can recommend Weihenstephan to our Guests looking to enjoy a white beer like Hoegaarden or even Rickard’s White.
This great pint will pair well with light meals whose mild flavouring will be well complimented by this beer. Recommended with Salads and pasta dishes in light sauce like the Bistro Chicken & Shrimp Linguini.

Featured Beverage: Ravenswood Zinfandel
Thursday, November 17, 2011
Featured Beverage: Boddingtons Pub Draught
It has a bready malty flavour with grassy hops and a thin body with little carbonation, which is why when not served on draught, it is necessary to be constructed with a nitrogen widget to enhance the foamy head.
This beer is a great suggestion if you are looking for a cream ale and has a great pour that must be seen!
Thursday, November 10, 2011
Featured Beverage: Kim Crawford Pinot Noir
Bright red with purple and crimson notes, this Pinot Noir has an enticing aroma of rich deep fruit and an alluring complexity of oak. The taste is of vibrant, fresh fruit flavours with nuances of sweet, smoky oak.
This wine varietal is great paired with rich chicken and seafood pasta dishes, with a steak sandwich or even all a wine to enjoy all on it’s own.

Want a chance to win? Come in to see the game tonight and receive a ballot for the December game drawing. Wear your hockey jersey and double your chances to win. See you tonight!
Featured Beverage: Kir Royal
This drink became popular when after the second world war, French red wine reserves were so low and there was a surplus of white wine.
This beverage is typically served as an aperitif before the meal so this cocktail is a great way to start off an amazing meal.
Thursday, October 27, 2011
Featured Beverage: Inniskillin Late Harvest Riesling
Late Harvest wines like the Inniskillin Riesling are en-route to becoming icewines and as such are much sweeter than a typical Riesling.
This wine has a nice bright colour with hints of floral and fruit along with a classic honey on the finish. The finish definitely lingers and is not a wine to recommend to a drinker who likes a dry white. For those drinkers looking for a nice sweet wine, this is a good choice.
Pair with nice creamy goat cheese dishes or the antipasto platter.
Thursday, October 20, 2011
Featured Beverage: Alexander Keith's Red Amber Ale
The second of the Alexander Keith’s branded varieties to arrive in Ontario, Keith’s Red has become almost as popular as the original version for those beer drinkers who are looking for a little more caramel flavour and sweetness in their beer.
As with the IPA, Keith’s Red is very easy drinking and has little in the way of an aftertaste and as such can be enjoyed by beer drinkers who do not enjoy the hoppy aftertaste typical of many darker beers.
Pairs well with Great Steaks like the Sirloin Oscar or Baseball Sirloin Steaks.
Thursday, October 13, 2011
Featured Beverage: Planters Punch Classic Cocktail
Those who have been around JB for several years will recall the Planters Punch as one of our most popular classic cocktails.
Beverage ingredients vary depending on who is doing the construction, but the drink almost always contains rum, grenadine, bar lime mix and pineapple or orange juice, topped off with soda.
The result is a refreshingly fruity cocktail that can be enjoyed as a pre-meal starter, or anytime with a great appetizer.
Thursday, October 6, 2011
Featured Beverage: Alexander Keith's IPA
October is the time to celebrate Alexander Keith’s Birthday!
October 5th is the day on which we celebrate one of the most popular and diverse portfolio of Canadian beers, brought to us now through the Labatt Am-Bev Interbrew company.
This refreshing Pale Ale is more comparable to a North American Lager than a classic Pale Ale (Bass or Wellington), this beer has just enough of an extra kick to appeal to drinkers who enjoy either style.
A great pairing with the Malibu Chicken Sandwich, Linguini Tetrazini Pasta and our Gourmet Burgers.

Jawny Bakers Features - Tandoori Chicken Salad
The chicken must marinade for 8 to 24 hours so make sure to prepare the chicken the night before you are planning on eating it. Trust me, the presentation and rich flavour that results from the waiting is well worth it.
Download PDF files for printing at the end of the post.
- Prep Time: 25 minutes
- Marinade Time: 8-24 hours
- Cook Time: 25 minutes
- 3 - 6-oz Chicken Breasts
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon peeled and crushed ginger root
- 1-1/2 tablespoons Tandoori Masala Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
- 6 cups Mixed Garden Greens with Shredded Carrot
- 3 ounces Red Wine Vinaigrette Dressing
- 1 Roasted Red Pepper, sliced
- 1/2 Red (Spanish) Onion, sliced
- Crispy fried thin sliced Onions (Onion Straws)
- 3 tablespoons Tzatziki
- Fresh parsley, grape tomatoes, croutons and lemon wedge for garnish
Choose three medium sized chicken breasts, relatively flat and good for grilling. Pierce the chicken with a fork to allow the marinade to penetrate.
Combine the chicken breasts in a large bowl with the yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil pureed with the crushed ginger and the minced garlic. Add the Tandoori Masala Seasoning, which can be found in the Indian or international section of your grocery store. Add salt and pepper to taste and mix well, making sure both sides of the chicken are well coated with the mixture.
Cover and place in the refrigerator overnight (8-24 hours). Remove from the fridge 1/2 hour before cooking.
Step 2 - Prepare the toppings and grill the Chicken:
Grill the chicken over medium-high direct heat, about 5 minutes per side on a pre-heated grill, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 190°F. Grilling time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts. Cooking will be fastest if the thickness of the chicken breast is no greater than 1/2 inch.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare your toppings of Roasted Red Pepper, Red Onion, Onion Straws (best prepared in advance) and Tzatziki. Portion enough for your three salads.
For each salad bowl, make a salad base of 2 cups of mixed garden greens and top with 1 ounce of Red Wine Vinaigrette Salad Dressing and croutons.
Slice chicken in to half-inch strips and layer on top of your salad base. Top the Chicken with your Roasted Red Pepper, Red Onion, Tzatziki and Onion Straws.

Garnish Plates with Grape Tomatoes, Fresh Parsley and one Lemon Wedge. Serve while the chicken is still hot.
Enjoy!

Featured Beverage: Red Wine Sangria
Sangria is a wine punch, traditional in countries like Spain and Portugal. Each Sangria recipe is unique and is a common drink for experimentation.
Jawny Bakers Signature version contains Red Wine, Orange and Cranberry Juices, Fresh-Cut Fruit and an imported Strawberry Liqueur - Fragoli - with hand picked wild strawberries. The result is a not-too sweet, easy-drinking, juicy cocktail which are best enjoyed with friends from a pitcher on a warm late-summer day.

Nice New Review! Thanks Scuba312!
“Always excels at service, atmosphere, food & drinks”
Stopped for lunch on leaving Toronto. Lived in the area 3 years ago before retiring to cottage country. My wife and I make a point of trying to eat at this restaurant anytime we visit Toronto.
Lunch became an early dinner as the menu was interesting and extensive. We each had a mouth watering New York striploin steak cooked exactly as ordered with a 7 grain salad and warm bread slices & garlic butter.
Drink specials as ordered included delicious house merlot wine at $8 per 9 oz. glass... Just enough at lunchtime. Finished off with excellent fresh coffee. Service was friendly and attentive. Enjoyed the whole meal experience of this family-owned neighborhood restaurant in East York area of Toronto.

Featured Beverage: Hillebrand Trius Chardonnay
This wine of the flagship Trius Brand at Hillebrand Estates is aged in stainless steel which allows for greater fruit intensity. It has a medium body with flavours of tropical fruit, sweet apple and lemon drops.
Best served with Wraps and Salads, this is a great wine to recommend when looking for an “Unoaked” Chardonnay.

The addition of not one, but potentially two elite centre men this off season, and playing a full season alongside Joffrey Lupol, Phil Kessel should have a good chance to eclipse his career best of 36 goals.

Weekly Featured Beverage: Henry of Pelham Baco Noir
This incredibly versatile wine matches well with beef and spicy foods, and may best compliment a heavily peppered Beef Tenderloin Fajita.
Thursday, September 1, 2011
Featured Beverage: Beck's Draught
Those who like it, tend to like a fuller body for their lagers. If you enjoy a beer style like an Alexander Keith's IPA or Stella Artois, you are a drinker who may also enjoy a Beck's. Tastes great with Seafood dishes, any of our Gourmet Burgers or Ribs.
Jawny Bakers is up to #6 of 1813 Restaurants in Toronto on Trip Advisor

Featured Beverage: Big Rock Brewery's Grasshopper
Grasshopper is a great patio beer being a very easy drinking filtered wheat beer, much lighter than other wheat and white beers. Despite the popularity of the Traditional Ale and Rock Creek Cider, Big Rock's Grasshopper remains the flagship product of Big Rock Brewery.
Thursday, August 11, 2011
Featured Beverage: Thornbury Cider
Its made with 100% fresh- pressed local apples (not from concentrate), and crafted in the 100 year old Thornbury Village Cidery in Georgian Bay, giving this cider it’s unique character. The Cider is Naturally Gluten-Free and suitable for Celiac & Vegan diets.
A light and refreshing cider, it pairs well with a wide range of foods, but is especially great with BBQ ribs, chicken, salmon, seafood and pork.
Thursday, August 4, 2011
Featured Beverage: Mill St. Original Organic Lager
Patrons have been enjoying this German-style pilsner with a light and refreshing taste and clean finish that goes well with an almost-light beer alcohol percentage at 4.2 ABV.
Some hoppy bitterness and delicate floral aroma differentiates this beer from an American-Style light lager (Bud or Coors). A great easy-drinking patio beer that is a great summer recommendation alone or paired with seafood or light pasta.

Get to know a street: O'Connor Drive
This great picture is selected from that article. "I initially misjudged Jawny Bakers as a typical bar and grill. It's definitely a little sleeker, a bit of a step up from the local fingers n' fries joint. A glance at its menu will certainly confirm that; Filet Mignon, Linguini Pescatore, and Chicken Madeira in a wine sauce, to name a few items. The green around the back patio gives the illusion that you're dining in some secluded space (despite being adjacent to a parking lot) and the bar boasts an impressive list of domestic, premium, and imported beers on tap."
