Relaxed Atmosphere to Enjoy Unique Wines

Archive Wine Bar

Come here to enjoy many well curated wines by the glass, or bottle. A broad variety of white, red, rosé, and sparkling wines from many parts of the globe. Served by knowledgeable staff and not a hint of pretentious "wine snob" attitude. There is also a small tapas-type menu and usually some daily specials.

Tiki Kitsch is Alive and Well.

Shameful Tiki Room

The Shameful Tiki is fun, tacky, but always a good time. You go in and immediately feel like you are at a Hawaiian Luau. The drinks have witty names and come in crazy glasses and mugs. You can get big drinks to share with long straws like the volcano bowl which comes with fire, smoke, and sound effects as it leaves the bar!

Two-Storey Bar in a Back Alley

Green Room

Dive bar popular with a young crowd mostly made up of students. Locals love it because the drinks are cheap and so is the food. They offer a pad thai which is a bit weird but for some reason, I've heard people rave about it.

Bellwoods Brewery

Bellwoods has an amazing patio which people line up for all summer long. They brew a bunch of funky and unique beers in styles like IPA, IIPA, saison, stouts, lagers. They brought old-world beer to Toronto and lead the way for craft breweries. The product design and the names add a fun touch.
