The mention of court jesters conjures specific imagery and memories. For some, i.e. Danish princes, thoughts of jesters spur existential debates: "Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio: a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy" ( Hamlet (V, i, 203 - 204)). Others think of jingling hats, carefully applied makeup, and laughter. Still others, especially those that live near the Danforth, think of dart-league friendly, inviting, neighbourhood pubs, like The Court Jester. Expect regulars and solid comfort fare. Expect neither Ophelia nor Rosencrantz. -S.T. |

2 Reader Reviews | Yes horrid female bartender..argued with us for ten minutes when we mentioned that the beer tasted off....unclean tap lines.....The place also smells like sewer......Thank god they or someone finally got rid of the bum outside that bugs the hell out of anyone for change,a nice touch while enjoying a skunky pint near the front...

Great place for a Guiness and a Jack Daniels on the rocks, but there is a particular female bartender who is very rude, I accidently spilled my pint one afternoon and was refused a refill! I had spent hundreds of $'s there over time and was completely blown away by her rudeness. I don't recommend it, the regulars are also a bunch of loud. rude drunks!
Dark and dingy.......good tunes though.
