What people say, in short
True History on St Clair is recommended for European-style beer, with patrons specifically praising pilsners, dark beers and lagers. Food earns separate endorsements: one visitor enjoyed chicken schnitzel, another recommends the snacks, and a commenter particularly likes the Austrian-style menu. One patron describes communal seating and a pleasant atmosphere. A visitor who loves the food nevertheless finds the rotating menu frustrating when a dish disappears before a visit.
