Iceberg Vodka and the Rebel
We're tipping our Iceberg with a special promotion, offering Newfie taste treats and Iceberg Cocktails. Try Lobster Tails with a Witless Bay Wallbanger...or a Newfie Steak Sandwich paired up with a Rocky Harbour Caesar. Only available for a short time so stop floundering around and get in before the Iceberg melts!!
Rebel in Now
Before you embark upon any sort of Upper Canada rebellion and its requisite march down Yonge, be sure to stop in at the Rebel House for some Can-Con courage. Only Guinness manages to shoehorn itself into the otherwise all-Canadian 19-tap craft brew lineup. Bottles are likewise nationalist, with 30 mostly micro labels. Canadiana cuisine helps to build up a thirst at this busy midtown fave.!

Best of the Season
From everyone at the Rebel House we would like to extend to you and your families the very best of the season. May you have a very merry Christmas
New York Times?!!
Better late than never ** Monica Webb kindly mentioned the fact that we were mentioned in the New York Times.
ONCE upon a time, not all that long ago, there existed a magical country that was a lot like the United States, only less expensive. Its enchanted currency — the other dollar — allowed Americans to indulge as they could not back home. This delightful fantasyland was called Canada, and for centuries it was synonymous with frugality... ...Not far from the Rosedale stop was my destination: Rebel House, a pub that, according to Chowhound.com, had affordable, above-average pub food.
I sat at the bar, drank a rich, bitter Neustadt 10w30 Brown Ale, devoured my mushroom-rich meatloaf (27 dollars with tax and tip) and listened to my 20-something neighbors discuss the ice-hockey game on TV. After evaluating the physique of Sidney Crosby, the Pittsburgh Penguins’ star, one woman declared, “I’m going back to Pilates!”

Regulars fill both the cramped downstairs and upstairs rooms – all worn plank flooring, craggy wooden counters and coarse stucco walls – as well as a parachute-covered patio out back year-round. Bonus: more than 20 Ontario-only microbrews on tap — well, except for the Guinness.
Best: from a Canuck-inspired card, minced buffalo ’n’ beef burger on a kaiser topped with ancho ketchup, red onion and pickle on a kaiser; at dinner, old-fashioned meat loaf with roasted onion mashed potatoes, mushroom gravy and succotash; cornmeal-crusted Ontario pickerel with roasted spuds and seasonal veg.
