About Firkin:

Stanley Adelson and Ian Fisher opened the first pub, Fox and Firkin, in Toronto in May 1987. It was the idea of a traditional English neighborhood pub - where people could enjoy good drink and food in good company - that quickly built a stable of regulars. Selections range from a variety of beverages and delicious meals including: traditional English pub fare like fish and chips, burgers, sandwiches, as well as a selection of entrée dishes such as New York strip steak, roasted chicken, fresh fish and salads and-of course-a wide assortment of draft beers on tap and in the bottle. There are currently 39 units open in North America and 150 pubs in development in the United States.
