It was 1944 when "The Pilot Grill" opened its original location, 800 Yonge Street on the west side, just north of Bloor Street. The Pilot's distinct name was meant to be a tribute to the heroic flyers of World War II.

After the war ended in '45, The Pilot became known as an artists' bar and was a favorite hang-out for the Spadina Eleven and a host of artists from nearby Isaac's Gallery and Carmen Lamanna down the street. The Pilot remained a steady presence through the sixties as Yorkville developed into the hub of Toronto's hippie community.
