Duke of York Inn
The Duke of York is a restaurant/pub that was a 19th Century inn in Toronto, Ontario located at 1225 Queen Street East. The first Duke of York was an inn with a restaurant/pub on the main floor. The inn no longer operates, but the restaurant and bar is still in business. For many years a mural of John Wayne was painted on the wall of the first floor of the building's exterior. The name of this first location is likely for the Duke of York at the time, Prince Frederick, Duke of York and Albany.
It is also a name of an English pub at 39 Prince Arthur Avenue and Bedford Road (northwest of Avenue Road and Bloor Street West) near the trendy area of Yorkville. The second Duke of York began as a watering hole in the basement and has since occupied all three floors.
