Ossington Stop

Ossington Stop is a great little bar on Dundas West, owned and operated by Dennis who is very passionate about what he does. The food here is prepared in-​house (even though the kitchen its TINY) and the delicious cabbage rolls are not to be missed. I’m also a huge fan of the kale salad which comes with chopped almonds on top — delicious!
There are daily drink specials and you can usually get a pint and a shot for around $ 10 which isn’t too bad. The space itself is quite small but there is never a line up and there are plenty of seats at the bar.
If you want a cheap drink and a very tasty bite to eat before heading out on Dundas West, this is the place for you. A real gem in the Dundas/​Ossington area, and I’m all for supporting small local businesses, especially when the owner is awesome!

Great and affordable spot for dinner and drinks. The short menu filled with hearty Eastern European classics is an instant win. Do not miss the dumplings. The mac and cheese is covered in fried delicious bits, which will leave you drooling for more.

Poor service, treated my friends and I like we didn’t exist. Previously it was OK (which is hard to imagine considering it wasn’t great in the 1^st place) but has degraded in the last 3mos. I’m basing this review mostly on previous experiences, based on this experience I would give it ¹⁄₅.

We went there on a hot summer night for some good music and some cheap beers and that’s just what we got! The bartender was super friendly and the small space allows for conversation with other bar-​goers.
Though early in the evening it was pretty empty we were told that it usually fills up later in the evening, which it did.
Over all, fun intimate atmosphere and great vibe.
Of note though — they don’t do mixed drinks, so you are limited to beer or straight liquor.

The Ossington Stop is one of the best spots in the neighbourhood. Dennis the owner and chef is a mastermind when it comes to good eats, and good service. Its a great place to indulge without breaking the bank.

Tiny hole in the wall with beer and perogies what could be bad? I had a very reasonably priced Jameson here and enjoyed the ambiance and friendly service. Seems like there are only 10 seats. The perogies and borsch smelled amazing. I’m keen to go back and try the food.

Wooow! I went to Ossington Stop around to 3 times with friends and all times the staff is very very friendly and easygoing. You can order different combinations.
The owner is the chef.
The Cabagge Roll is perfect! Is to die!!!
I really recommend

I almost reviewed this place the first week it was open, and I’m glad I waited. This candlelit snack bar with drink specials is really coming into its own.
This corner isn’t necessarily known for its drink specials, so when I can get a shot and a pint for $ 9 without leaving my hood, I’m a happy little lady.
I look forward to returning (when I’m not out on a strictly-​liquid evening) to this tiny stop and trying their fabulous looking food.

The Ossington Stop ranks as the top bar near Ossington and Dundas. It’s the perfect hang-​out with up to 3 – 4 friends. The food is exceptional! Their cabbage roll is to die for and for $ 7, just take my money, here — here! The kale salad is also light, refreshing and delicious. Warning: They pour strong drinks! Service is awesome possum.
