REVIEW
It's fast becoming the pride of Parkdale, with its alt-country attitude and eclectic music policy. Welcoming such local bands as Be-Bop Cowboys, Trainwreck and Rancho Mysterio, it's not, as you might expect, a dive.

Rather, recalling its namesake, the honky-tonk hideaway is a solid bar with half a car jutting out from the signage. Only slightly gussied up out back, with a gracious umbrella-dotted patio, the place is all caesar-and-wings ambience. Owned by the same folks who brought us Graffiti's Bar & Grill in Kensington, the Caddy attracts a mix of music buffs and those who just like their beer cold. It's the kind of watering hole that should become one of the west end's old faithfuls.
