    According to the owner:
    At the corner of Yonge and Wellington looms a majestic work of 19th century Italianate architecture, a beautiful piece of Toronto’s history. Formerly the Bank of British North America, it is now site to the Irish Embassy Bar & Grill. Its entrance is secured with pillars supporting a semi-circular tympanum, with chiselled detailing that indicate old times. The conversion from bank to bar has not compromised the decadent interior, for among the simple black tabletops and seating are great columns supporting the amazing cross vaulting of the ceiling. With its original floor tiling still in place, the Irish Embassy makes a great venue for enjoying the history, as well as drink and food. Situated in the overlap of the entertainment and financial districts, the Irish Embassy caters to the upscale, casual crowd, serving a fine selection of ales and a pub menu that goes above and beyond the deep fryer.
    As all Irish pubs tend to serve fish and chips, the Embassy does so also, but with a difference. The plate consists of Atlantic salmon encrusted with almonds and served with a maple garlic glaze. For a more traditional take, they also serve Kilkenny battered haddock. The choices for the fish abound, with bacon-wrapped scallops, crab and shrimp cakes, smoked salmon on soda bread and P.E.I mussels with a garlic or coconut broth. Also serving a hearty Irish stew, shepherd’s pie, burgers, and striploin steaks, there are plenty of menu items to ensure you have your fill. Also serving brunch, lunch, and a late-night menu until 1 a.m., you certainly won’t go hungry.
