Tyson was great. Debit machine made you go through extra steps to add a tip and I didn’t like it. Want to tip Tyson every time no troubles

I had to double take and ask the bartender if I was reading the sign right. Happy hour everyday! Get outta town! And 13 smashed Burgers!? With really witty references as names. Really clever. In an alternate universe, super troopers the movie was written where Shenanigans was The Early Bird/Holy Diver and this is the place Farva likes to go with all the “Goofy shit on the walls” and “mozzarella sticks”. Will check the menu and see if the moz sticks are there, don’t quote me on that, but the aesthetic is second bar none. What you’d expect of a bar named after a Ronnie Dio classic RIP king But yeah, great little breakfast, leave your pretence at the door, immerse yourself in the setting, practice a little patience and gratitude and you’ll have yourself a beautiful time in Downtown London. With soul soothing to just stare at the walls and look up at the roof, it’s like the walls are giving nostalgic hugs of a much loving and peaceful time. Thanks ya’ll, New favourite local, Kind Regards, #fivestarreviewclub

After seeing the pictures of the Caesar's I had to try them. Sure enough they met the expectations! The spiraled pickles on top were loads of tasty fun and the actual drink was tasty too! We also had the nachos with unbelievable brisket. These are far beyond your bar nachos! The guacamole was phenomenal! Not only was the food and drink so good the service was excellent! Our waitress was fun, attentive and knowledgeable. We went on a Thursday night and they had some epic punk music going....the whole feel of the place was very cool! Will definitely come back!

My number 1 go to spot. Food; absolutely next level. Drinks; I've actually dreamt about Tyson's cocktails, they're that good. Music; some of the best in town. You HAVE to come here!

What a wonderful experience. Decided to visit based off of their rating as best wings in london. I have to say some of the best wings I have ever had. Ordered the nachos with brisket as well. Highly recommend. Service was fantastic. Definitely recommend. It is across from a parking lot in case you need additional parking.

Honestly, deserving a total 5 star review out of me. What a great little bar! I've ordered wings at other bars, perhaps a thousand times and half the time I was disappointed with what I received. The Holy Diver made up for all those times with one pound of their (get this!) smoked honey garlic wings. Just a wicked atmosphere, great tunes, and if you're into pop culture, punk rock, classic movies, great drinks and real tasty food, you'll love this place. Don't pass up an opportunity to hit them up if you're in the downtown core of London in the evening. I will be going back as soon as I can, I'll be looking for excuses to go downtown now.

I loved this burger. Super close to the canada life place/ bud gardens. The burger is like a Big Mac and smash burger together. Love the sesame seed bun. They have plenty of mock-tail options. Small sport with a cool alternative rocker vibe.
