If you happen to be in Ottawa, I have a couple suggestions via PM. Otherwise, stuff that fits the feel you’d probably like exists, but is generally overshadowed by more establishment spots. Takes a little digging (and even what’s there may not suit your tastes).

Not neccessarily a bad thing though, alcohol being a poison and whatnot (I just happen to like poison).

Caveat - I’ve never been in Europe long enough to know the exact feel of a good homey Euro pub, for comparison purposes.
