as jinny pointed out, the exterior of this bar/restaurant looks like you're about to walk into a strip club. fortunately, it's just a sports bar with huge television screens. jinny and i only had an hour-long break for our all-day training in midtown west, so we had to find a place that wouldn't be too busy, had comfortable seating, and was close to the training site.

tonic satisfied all three requirements, but i wouldn't pick this place as a food destination. my fish and chips were pretty good and cheap - the fish was surprisingly tender and flaky, but the breading was over-seasoned. i think there are better choices if you have the time to travel to them, but that's pretty much the story of midtown.
