If you happen to be in Ottawa, I have a couple suggestions via PM. Otherwise, stuff that fits the feel you’d probably like exists, but is generally overshadowed by more establishment spots. Takes a little digging (and even what’s there may not suit your tastes).
Not neccessarily a bad thing though, alcohol being a poison and whatnot (I just happen to like poison).
Caveat - I’ve never been in Europe long enough to know the exact feel of a good homey Euro pub, for comparison purposes.






You have the rare honour of being the first comment I’ve both downvoted and saved.
(Downvoted simply because it’s the opposite kind of answer to what OP is looking for, if it actually bugs you let me know and I’ll remove, nbd).
