If you haven’t noticed yet, Sneaky Dee’s loves you, and we’re showing you our love the best way we know how, by giving you a sweet deal on our SD25 limited edition tanks for Valentines Day! If you buy one SD25 tank in any size and color, we will give you ANOTHER one in any size and color for free! It’s 2-for-1!

It only makes sense. No one wants to be alone on Valentines Day, so pick up a tank, get one for free, and give it to someone who makes you feel special. “Oh, but Sneaky Dee’s, I don’t have a Valentine, what am I going to do?!?” – Well we’ll tell you what you’re gonna do. Grab these tanks, give one to your crush, and let everything else play out as it should. Because we all know that anyone who digs Dee’s merch as much as you must be the one!

So get over to http://sneaky-dees.com/shop/2-for-1-valentines-day-special/ and choose which SD25 tank you want, then email [email protected] with the details for your second, free tank. Don’t forget to show Sneaky Dee’s some love too and pick up some of our other great merch to go with your new tanks!

We want to wish a big Happy Birthday to our good pal Branko! Branko aka Serb Superb is another year older and we are helping him celebrate in style!

Branko’s Birfday Bash is going down THIS Friday upstairs and its going to get wild! There will be a secret DJ spinning tunes, dancing, more dancing and a special freestyle set from Serb Superb himself.

In 2012, We reached a pretty big milestone – we hit our 25^th anniversary! Like anyone else who hits their quarter life crisis, we thought it was time to have a crazy party! So, we partied throughout the year, had some great events, and saw even greater people grace our halls over the year. We’re already feeling kind of nostalgic, so let’s check out what went on last year.

We’re known for a lot of things, one of those things is our awesome food. And this year you gave us one of the best birthday presents we could ask for – you voted the Kings Crown nachos as “Best in Toronto”. In appreciation, every 25^th of the month we offered EVERY SPECIAL EVER, and that was a huge hit, to say the least. We were also throwing around free bottles of hot sauce all year, wicked drink specials, and to top it off, had an amazing customer appreciation night to celebrate both our birthday and how much we love all you guys who keep us going. I think we’re still recovering from that hangover.

We’ve also become pretty well known for some of the crazy shows and bands that have graced our stage upstairs over the last few years, ranging from Broken Social Scene, to Fucked Up, and Arcade Fire. Something special had to be done for SD25, so we set up the SD25 concert series! It all kicked off with two huge back to back shows from BC pop-punk legends GOB! The great shows continued throughout the year with performances from State Champs, The Riverboat Gamblers, We Are Union, and Comeback Kid, and Cancer Bats, just to name a few.

On top of all the awesome shows that were being put on as part of SD25, we hosted some pretty awesome events too, partly to celebrate SD25, but more importantly, to give back to the community that has supported us over so many years. It started with a special fundraising event hosted by Skate4Cancer with proceeds from the event going to the Wellspring Foundation. The giving continued in November where 25% of the profits from every Kings Crown sold went directly to the Movember charity. Of course, we did have to make some room for partying too, so we hosted an awesome Tattoo Day where people can come and party, and more importantly, get tattooed FOR FREE by Franz Stefanic of Anchor Tattoo – it was a great time.

No birthday party of complete without swag and pictures, right? We know partying hard can make memories a little bit fuzzy, so to help everyone remember we made some pretty sweet limited edition SD25 tank tops, and even some limited edition #SD25 concert series poster so you can remember all the great times you had celebrating with us. If you missed out, all of it is still available at the Sneak’s online store so get out there and pick some up! Don’t forget to also check out all the great photos from the SD25 celebrations right here; and if your friends STILL haven’t been convinced to check out Sneak’s, then tell them to check out the 25 reasons why vegans/vegetarians should eat there, and 25 reasons why everyone should party at Sneak’s.

All in all, it was a pretty wild time. Thanks to everyone that helped give us some great memories for our 25^th birthday, and all we can hope for is 25 more years!

If you are not convinced yet, Sneaky’s loves vegans and vegetarians as much as we love the diverse taste of punks, hooligans and trouble makers. Sometimes vegans need some love, and that’s why were proud to offer the same nachos we pride our name on, but simply vegan. That said, we look out for you guys. If you’re not vegan or a vegetarian, maybe take a quick glance at our vegan menu and try something new. You are sure to be pleased!

 

Jet-setting-chef-turned-celebrity-gourmand Anthony Bourdain touched down in our fair city last summer to film an episode of his show The Layover, now in its second season on The Travel Channel. The episode finally aired in mid-December. In it, Bourdain explored a cross-section of Toronto’s culinary highlights and paid us a small bit of lip service in a segment with Fucked Up. Check out the video below to watch the whole episode — our big moment (literally) starts at around 30:50.
