Beer lovers across the Greater Toronto Area have breathed a sigh of relief as Smokeless Joe's has re-opened at a new location on College Street. I haven't been yet but it can only be roomier than the John Street location. The old spot was crowded with a dozen people inside.
In the day, it was a distinguishing feature not to permit smoking but of course no one allows smoking indoors these days. It was also known for the owner's collection of jazz music and his insistance that coats were to go on hangers and not on the backs of chairs. That would be the "original" Joe. He has since sold the establishment to another fellow named Joe and you can leave your coat where you choose. Many of the records stayed behind, though.
