A new addition to Toronto’s bar landscape, Lulu Bar opened in The Well earlier this year.
Specializing in Tiki cocktails with a modern twist and coastal cuisine inspired by Hawaii, California and B.C., this new Toronto favourite is a hidden vacation spot just waiting to be discovered.
Bar Chef
A bar built on the principle of pure flavor.
According to Bar Chef’s website, ingredients in beverages and cuisine are refined in-house to perfect the experience for each guest.
While this may seem an intimidating spot to swing by on any old night out — Bar Chef promises guests an experience like no other.
Hemingway’s
In the warmer months, Hemingway’s is known for its massive patio loved by regulars and visitors alike.
In the colder months, it is a fantastic spot for elevated pub food and classic cocktails.
A perfect place to start or end a night for anyone looking to go out in Toronto.
Bar Isabel
A Spanish bar in the heart of Little Italy, Bar Isabel is a local institution that everyone should go to at least once.
Featuring a meat and seafood menu that rivals the best in the city, this location is not only cozy but also comes with a robust menu that features a dynamic wine list and seasonal cocktails.
Lao Lao Bar
A location that excels in Southeast Asian cuisine, Lao Lao Bar is as dynamic as it is relaxing.
Featuring signature cocktails with a zesty and fruity punch and menu items that break the mold when it comes to regional cuisine, Lao Lao Bar is the perfect place to start the weekend with friends, take a date or just grab an afterwork drink.
Canoe
This sky-high location— quite literally — as it is on the 54th floor of a downtown highrise, is the peak of barside elegance in Toronto.
Specializing in classic cocktails and innovations by in-house mixologists, this location in the clouds also provides a masterful fine dining experience alongside a perfect view of the city below.
Alobar
A must-see in Toronto’s Financial District, Alobar is a great spot for happy hours and power lunches.
However, if you are not the type who works in the neighbourhood, the location is still perfect for premium-quality steak dinners, oysters and other high-end dining fare.
Featuring a robust wine and cocktail list, Alobar is the perfect spot to soak in Toronto’s downtown vibes.
