Mount Pleasant) is lousy with craft breweries (but it’s Brassneck that creates our favourite illustrated refillable collectables).

We’re talking breakfast, lunch, happy hour, dinner and late night cocktails. Tax and tip included. Today we get the goods from local bartender Vanessa Coupar, an Ontario import who toiled at such award-winning establishments as Uva Wine & Cocktail Bar and el Santo before becoming the Bar Manager at Main Street’s acclaimed Anh and Chi restaurant. Now we’re hungry again. What’s for lunch? I find myself eating lunch at Anh and Chi, even when I’m not...
