Shakeys

Originally owned by Mike Walton, who played for the Toronto Maple Leafs, Shakey’s was coined after the hockey player’s nickname. Over the years, ownership of the legendary Bloor West Village hot spot has changed, but has always kept its famous name.

Brothers Rob and Chris Lundy are now making a name for themselves as the faces behind the bar and restaurant. Their grandfather, Michael Lundy, is renowned for coming up with what is now the Drake Hotel, in 1949. With an impressive lineage behind them, the Lundy brothers have continued the tradition and are providing patrons with a legendary experience of their own.

“My brother purchased the place with the intentions that I would one day be manning the kitchen here,” says Chris. “The time has come and I continually strive to bring fresh and new ideas to the Shakey’s menu.”
