1090 Queen St. W.
Step inside this dimly-lit West Queen West haunt and you’ll immediately feel like you’ve stepped outside — and onto the patio of one of Italy’s cobblestone alleyway restaurants. String lights twinkle overhead, hanging from faux trees that run the length of the restaurant. On tap they’ve got several local brews (including their own lager and IPA) along with a red and white wine. There’s more available by the glass or bottle, too. Cocktails range from the classics to house creations like the Ca...
1149 Dundas St. W.
If you’re looking for molecular mixology and cocktail garnishes that are hazardous to your eyesight, keep on walking past this Dundas West watering hole. However, if you’re in the mood for Saturday afternoon jazz in one of the coziest enclaves in the city, clear your calendar and just hang ten at this irresistibly cool dive bar. Legendary owner and bartender Michael Louis Johnson is just as likely to spin you a yarn as he is to pick up his trumpet (catch jazz manouche in the back alley in sum...
2867A Dundas St. W.
Aptly named The Hole in the Wall, this long, narrow bar in the Junction had its tiny entranceway tucked behind an antique furniture shop for years before the owners took over both spaces. Now it’s a little easier to find with sister spot Botham’s next door, but it still retains all of its neighbourhood-watering-hole charm. The 16 taps feature Canadian brews, with local favourites like Collective Arts, Muskoka and Great Lakes, and they have a good wine selection. The cocktail and food programs...
1036 Gerrard St. E.
The last time we were at The Dive Shop, we had more fun in an hour than we did in all of 2020. Electric-blue booths, indoor palm trees, a back patio with swings and sand: Leslieville's newest locale is the city escape we need. Plus, the margaritas are fire (the coconut marg is our fave). If you're looking for a fun, easy-breezy bar night with your besties or a boo, get yourself down to the east end and into some daily Dive Shop specials, or some good ol' classics like a dark and stormy and a...
580 Church St.
Finally Star Wars fans and Trekkies can put their differences aside at this delightfully nerdy bar that caters to Sci-Fi, fantasy and comic book lovers of all kinds. From the decked-out décor down to the list of drinks straight out of our favourite movies, Storm Crow Manor is an experience. Sip on a Romulan Ale or a Tatooine Blue Milk while you bask in the orange glow of the Cyberpunk Lounge or feel like a science experiment in the Mary Shelley bar. There are three stories of strange and fant...
1026 Gerrard St. E.
Little India wasn’t always the hip pocket of Toronto it is today, but thanks to Marc Baglio, Andy Wilson and Adam Graham’s triumvirate of Gerrard Street bars, it’s one of our favourite hoods. We love Poor Romeo’s sports bar vibes, and Vatican Gift Shop is the best place for a boogie if you’re on the wrong side of 30 (and TERRIFIED of King Street) — but it’s Pinkerton’s Snack Bar that has us feeling sentimental. Named after a Weezer song, this Asian-inspired, late-night spot has a neighbourhoo...
926 Dundas St. W.
Rum often gets the short end of the spirits stick. Not at Rhum Corner though, where it's put on grand display and gets the attention it deserves. "It's hard to use the word 'cool' without feeling like a douche, but that's the concept," reads their website, and we're inclined to agree. This petite watering hole serves up bevies loaded with the good stuff alongside Haitian bites. The Zombie cocktail doesn't even have its ingredients listed because there are too many. You must try their house bl...
354 King St. E.
Escape to the Aegean with Mediterranean bites and bright cocktails in this airy, sunlight-filled space on King near Parliament. Settle in amongst the white brick walls and the tropical forest of lush greenery that hangs from the ceiling, and dig into dishes like grilled halloumi cheese souvlaki, chargrilled octopus and lamb baklava (a must-try). Alongside a list of classic cocktails, you’ll also find house creations like the Winter in Miami with rum, cream of coconut and prosecco. The wine li...
136 Ossington Ave.
In our youth, tequila may have been synonymous with too many shots, but there’s much more to this complex spirit — and Reposado, a dive-y bar on Ossington, is just the place to rediscover it. Known for their very impressive, extensive tequila collection, Reposado’s list covers all the bases: blanco, reposado (natch), añejo, extra añejo and mezcal. Sample a selection with one of more than a dozen flight options. For something a little tamer, tequila is also the star of their cocktail menu. Sip...
1369 Dundas St. W.
If you find yourself strolling along Dundas West past dusk, you might just walk past the jet-black front of Project Gigglewater. While its exterior blends into the night, what awaits inside surely stands out in our minds. 'Giggle water' is a cheeky prohibition-era term for 'booze.' And the mood here is very much 1920s-underground where all the flappers and cool-cats go to punch the bag over some hooch (we'll stop). Classic cocktails are on the menu, but the creative team likes to play around...

Bar Raval $$$ — This standing-room-only Spanish bar is known as Toronto’s most beautiful bar. The small space is adorned with Gaudi-esque wood and atmosphere. The bar opens early in the morning to serve coffee and pastries, and from the afternoon until late it’s a popular spot for locals to consume cocktails, wine, and pintxos.
