Tuesday karaoke nights are wild, hilarious, and super welcoming—anyone can get up and sing. Four full-size pool tables make it one of the best hangouts for games and bar food without pretense.
Pegasus isn’t trying to impress you: no glossy cocktails, no curated playlists, just seriously friendly vibes and affordable drinks even as the neighbourhood changes fast. Their karaoke night is truly community-driven—expect more cheering than jeering, and folks of all ages and talents. Few places in the Village feel this genuinely no-nonsense and inclusive.
Pegasus Bar on Wellesley is the Village’s living room: pool tables clack, the jukebox blares retro bangers, and the regulars don’t need your resume. A true bar-bar, Pegasus keeps things simple—think cheap drafts, basic cocktails, and classic bar eats like nachos and fries. It’s been LGBTQ+ owned and operated for decades, with a strong core of regulars and staff who keep the space fiercely friendly. Grab a high-top, shoot pool, and see why it’s an easy staple for locals and queers from all over the city.
No—they don't take or need reservations; just show up, especially for games or karaoke.
Order a pint of Steam Whistle or a classic Caesar, and split a loaded plate of nachos.
Great for groups up to 8, especially if you want to shoot pool or take over a karaoke queue.
Most pints are $6–7, cocktails $7–9, and bar snacks $5–12—very wallet-friendly for the area.
