  The Three Speed is exactly the kind of bar I love. It's got this irresistible low-key vibe that would be enough to warrant a very hearty recommendation, but then they also have a top-notch draft list and food that's actually delicious? It's almost too much goodness for one place.
  
  I showed up around 5:00 on a recent Friday and the back patio was pretty much empty, though it was completely full by the time we left a couple hours later.
  
  We were mostly there to drink and soak in the atmosphere, but we also wanted something to snack on, so we decided to try the Black Bean Dip. (I can't describe it more accurately than that, since the menu doesn't seem to be online anywhere.)
  
  Anyway, it arrived a short time later and it's amazing. I did notice a strong taste of cumin in my first few bites, but it wasn't long before the complexities of the various flavors became more apparent. This is a seriously tasty dip. And the accompanying nachos are quite good, too.
  
  Yeah, I love the Three Speed.

  I can say this is hidden even though it's on Bloor because it's not easy to spot. I must have biked by a billion times and missed it!  After hearing this was a great spot for beer but sadly I had no idea it was for brunch, I took the opportunity to try it out when a friend suggested the place for brunch.
  
  I was pleasantly surprised! Coffee in a half or full carafe was available (yes, of course, I had the full size).  They offer daily brunch specials board and a regular brunch menu. I went with the two egg breakfast with the farmers sausage option. Very pleased with the fact, this was a real sausage.
  
  We are all pretty happy with the service. It was busy but though we were taking our time eating we didn't feel pressure to leave but mind you it was cold and there was no line up.
  
  I heard they had a patio. I look forward to checking out this summer.

  So right off the bat, let's just say this: if you're looking for a bar that has serious first date vibes - this is it. It's hella romantic, energetic and cool.
  
  Now with all of that said: I came here on the weekend with a pal, and she decided to have her birthday here. When she mentioned she was trying to bring a group of 10+ here, I figured this would be dicey. But I gotta hand it to the staff, they somehow made it work. We had to wait a bit while they pulled some tables together, but we all eventually got to sit together. Now that is impressive.
  
  With all of that in mind, I have read thru the Yelp reviews and noticed that many people have said the service has been horrific. Oddly, our group did not get that at all. Our service mentioned he was going to do his best to ensure he could keep us all on separate tabs but gave us a fair warning ahead of time. Then when we went to leave, he presented us all with separate bills without prompting. Whatta guy!
  
  I ended up ordering the salmon salad, which was totally fine. Not the best thing I've ever eaten. But I mean: totally fine. I think the piece of salmon could have been larger and I know personally I love a lot more dressing. I did end up ordering a brownie (as a dessert) and it was not great. Super dense but almost tasted like it had been sitting for too long. I love a good moist brownie and this was not it.
  
  Super impressed with their craft beer list, which is A+ and of course, the company. Would obviously come back.

  What an eclectic awesome space inside and out. The staff on the patio are really efficient, super friendly and the food is amazing.
  Having had dinner and brunch here it's become our go to place. In the evening the interior is lit only with candles and on the patio the fireplace is on and the ambiance inside and out is fabulous!

  Three Speed is a full-service bar with a relaxed vibe and great energy. The place is one of those bars that is cool without trying to be. They have a beautiful patio, as well as a nice, dimly-lit interior. You will feel right at home here from your first visit.
  
  Three Speed has good service, yet the better deal here is that you can get really solid food, and pretty much whatever you want to drink. They have bottled beers, draught beers, wine by the glass or bottle, and great cocktails. The burger is priced right at 11$.
  
  If you plan to visit, it is advisable to get here before 6 or 6:30 to get a prime seat at the bar. On nicer weather days, you may need to be earlier to get a seat on the leafy patio.
