Rock and Roll and the Cadillac lounge are synonymous. Good live music, pub fare and a grungy rock atmosphere. I would go there again for sure!
Gord and I had supper this evening at the Cadillac Lounge.
We both ordered wings. I got my wings with medium sauce and fries and they were really good. Gord got his wings with no sauce and swapped his fries for mac 'n cheese (for a small extra charge) ... I'd do that next time. Though the fries were good, the mac 'n cheese was delicious!
Andrea was our server. She was friendly and took good care of us.
It's been a while since I've been to the Cadillac Lounge and I don't know why ... I've got to make sure I go back again soon, especially since they have live music on a regular basis.
Ketchup packets? No gravy? Lame.. Food was good, Small menu, not much choice. They don't have gravy and the ketchup comes in packets like Mc Donalds. Not sure if ill go back.
Great spot to gather and hear the best local talent. Sam and his staff are laid back and the place has roadhouse style ambience. Its one of the truly authentic spots in the city. Go by on Saturday afternoons to see the real Parkdale peeps from days gone by dancing to music from their era, WW2 and before. The food is good solid pub fare and the beer is always cold.
Nice Food & Drink Deals. On Monday nights they have $.40 wings. That is by far the cheapest I have seen in Toronto (although my knowledge is not vast on chicken wing deals). To go along with that they have 6 Amsterdam Blonde for $20. I'm not sure if this deal carries to other days, but is a great deal IMO.
One criticism I have of the place is that more often than not, they have run out of Amsterdam buckets, and offer alternatives such as 6 Coors Light for $22, or 5 Bud Light Lime for $20. I can tolerate the switch in beers (although I believe Amsterdam is the best of the 3), but a few times we have received the bucket with warm beer and ice. The bucket doesn't do much for making them cold.
Although it was probably planned this way, the Cadillac Lounge would be super awesome if its large patio was all uncovered (since the uncovered part is always full), but it makes a good trade off when its raining and you still want to go to a patio

Don't let the bright pink and leopard print decor fool you, Cadillac Lounge has to be one of the most badass mother ****ing venues in Toronto. In between playing old Buddy Holly and Johnny Cash tracks, the 50′s rock inspired diner has put up one hell of a fight against gentrification in Parkdale. So far, they appear to be winning. In the past year they have undergone renovations that doubled the indoor seating, given their menu a complete makeover, and opened Fleetwood Flat, a two-bedroom hotel suite. The Parkdale favourite will always reserve a special spot in my heart since it became my go-to place when I first moved to the area. The Caddy introduced me to jalapeno poppers and chipotle-mayo. Cadillac never judged me when I ordered an alcoholic drink on my work-brea
Had a pretty good time at the Cadillac lounge, the service is efficient and even though we were a large group the drinks and food were served without delay. The ambiance is nice and the seating is comfy and is good if you have a large number of people. The wings are are great and the nachos are a great side dish.
Had a fantastic time here with friends. Decent pub grub and a friendly staff.
We ordered, well, pretty much everything on the menu and all of it was good for a more than fair price. A good selection of beer on tap as well as spirits also meant that there was something for everyone in our large party.
While we didn't actually come for the live music. As the night went on more and more of us strayed into the room with the stage to listen to a great singer belt out blues. I also appreciated that the noise level was such that you could also chat with your mates when you didn't want to listen to the live music.
I'll be back.
It is nothing fancy, very casual place but great vibe! Ideal to grab some drinks with a big group of friends. The menu is quite extensive, they have the classic bar menu food. Quality/price is fair, nothing to write home about, but tasty. Ideal food to accompany fresh beer. I love their quesadillas!
Overall, I had a great experience at Cadillac Lounge, fun times!
Came here with a large group and had a great time. It looked as though there was at least one other big group in at the same time, so if you are looking for a place to go with 10+ people, you could be accommodated here. We ordered a TON of food, my fave by far was the pulled pork nachos, yumyumyum. The service could have been better, but with large groups standing and sitting, I understand it can be hard to get to everyone.
Cool place! Replete with Elvis paraphernalia and Christmas decorations, the interior was well and interestingly decorated. Our group had the places to ourselves for a good bit, but it started to fill up later in the night. The food was great - perfect bar food. Pulled pork/chicken nachos, delicious wings, different pizza options, onion rings, etc.
They have a good selection of beers on draft, and our waitress was great throughout the night - very friendly and attentive, and kept up with our orders, which were voluminous! There was a killer band playing later in the night - I would return again just to see what other groups they bring in. Overall, great place to grab some beers and enjoy the vibe.
if you're looking out for cheap booze, Cadillac's a great option! The ambience of the place is pretty sweet! These days they've decorated it for Christmas and it gives the bar a lively look. We were a couple of us who got a place by the bar. The interesting bit about the pub is that they have 2 bars, a patio and even bands playing later at night.
You obviously have a variety of beers and liquor to choose from, but I was pleasantly surprised by the food as well. We ordered a bunch of things and I'd definitely suggest the chicken wings and nachos!
Service is pretty decent and our server particularly was really nice!
I might just go back here in the near future, because of the feel of the place.
A great little spot to grab a beer down on the west side of Queen St. West. Don't expect much, typical bar food (nachos, wings, fries) and plenty of beers on tap. We were in on a Friday night, a band hopped on stage around 10pm. Be on the look out for strange characters, you'll definitely bump in to a few originals :-) Friendly (though not the quickest) service. Overall, a great spot to gather old friends together!
