I had my digital camera and took a picture of a lady singing. I was in a pretty good mood. Although, just moving to this city and living in a pretty rough neighbourhood has been challenging. Instead of asking me to delete the photo- or turn off my camera- or ask me to leave the bar because i had not asked permission to use the camera - I was told to get out by the owner who decided he "didn't like me." I was called a "dyke" and told that I should go take pictures of my dyke and faggot friends I'm not gay. but i did shut down a conversation with an older man earlier on in favour of my beer and camera. I guess if a pretty girl doesn't like to talk to old men she must be a lesbien. Makes perfect sense doesn't it? ((heavy sarcasm)) On the way out that older man aggressively called me a "liar" and "Faker" because I didn't want to discuss Kant just after last call. Good Tymez Cafe - has an owner who uses hate speech and now everytime I walk down Dundas Street on my way to school- I get to look at that place and be reminded of the kind of ignorance that can breed in these pubs when an outsider steps in the door for the first time. Friendly city this Toronto... I do not recommend this place.

Good Tymez is in the midst of a "difficult" neighbourhood -- Dundas St. at Dalhousie St. Without clientèle control, bars in this neighbourhood can get seedy and out of control. Yet Good Tymez is a pleasant oasis and an exception from the "streety" nearby boozehalls. The owners of Good Tymez exercise a fair but canny kind of triage on potential customers. They don't overserve. They don't tolerate troublesome patrons. That said, the pub is a cozy little place with a congenial atmosphere. Smoking accommodations vary with that vagaries of City Council, but remain adequate, and not noxious to non-smokers. You can surf the 'Net or play a computer game while sipping your Keith's at Good Tymez! I've heard persistent rumours that it's possible to sing karaoke on Wednesdays, but I've yet to let loose my exceptional lungs and angelic three-octave voice there, though I'll continue to make an effort to show up Wednesdays to get my yah-yahs out, so to speak. Owners: congenial and hospitable. Staff: Edgy and humour-sensible. Leave your attitude at the door and enjoy a chat and a pint at this fine little place.

Toronto P.S.: I understand the nosh is exceptional, though I've always dined =before= visiting the pub, and haven't yet ordered from the menu. Count on good victuals with a nice European touch, if my usually reliable sources are correct. :{] I recommend this place.
