The Dakota Tavern

Editorial Review

There’s something that differentiates The Dakota from other trendsetting bars on gentrified Ossington. Maybe it's the gun as the door handle. Maybe it's the fact that the live music here is bluegrass and country rock without the Billy Ray Cyrus kitsch.  Whatever, it is, it's attracting groups of students, older male country fans and the curious bystander to break out the plaid and enjoy the band behind the Christmas lights. Its bluegrass breakfasts with all-you-can-eat pancakes have quickly become a city staple.
