Nemo..are you by chance referring to a bar, Larry’s Hideaway that used to be near or around Alan Gardens. Years ago we would walk or cycle by that area on the way to U of T or to Sick Kids. We lived in Cabbagetown for three years.
Never went in but one could not miss the neon sign.
No...this fellow, long since passed I would imagine, was actually named Larry - the hotel, the name of which I never knew, was right on Jarvis St.
Lot of dives around there......I picked up Bo Diddley, (they were trying to get him to endorse a guitar), and took him out to the showroom one time - (he was a regular at Le Coq d'Or) , and the entire band were staying in adjoining rooms in a low end hotel....the girls, (I got to meet Cookie), were frying chicken in their room.
