20 Best Bars in Etobicoke

“Dimitri’s Place on Lakeshore is an absolute gem!
I went on a Wednesday night not knowing what to expect—and left OBSESSED. Karaoke night was everything—great energy, no judgment, just pure fun. The crowd was a perfect mix of chill and lively, and the vibes were immaculate.

But let’s talk about the bomb ass bartender 👏. Not only were the drinks on point (strong but smooth, just how I like them), but their personality seriously made the night. Super friendly, fast, and knew exactly what to recommend. You can tell they love what they do, and it shows.

If you’re looking for a local spot with heart, killer drinks, and midweek magic—Dimitri’s is it. I’ll definitely be back (probably every Wednesday)!“

“Great food new menu and flavour is bang on. Ihave tried aleast half or more or the new menu. Same atmosphere as 15 plus years ago!!!“

“Best espresso in Toronto!“

“A quick thank you for a wonderful evening celebrating my brother's 50th birthday 🎂 We all thoroughly enjoyed the fabulous food, attention to detail and attentive service. Special mention for the lamb tenderloin my brother and I enjoyed. Cooked to perfection and full of flavour. Well done. Thank you again.“

“My husband and I were in town for the Blue Jays game to see our friends. We couldn't get tickets for the Jays game, so they recommended that we visit the Bull on Bloor in Etobicoke. This was Game 7! Do or die! We were all adorned in Jays' paraphernalia and arrived early to get seated before it got crowded. There were already many Jays fans sitting along the tables. We sat down at the bar and were greeted by a beautiful and friendly bartender, Deja. She asked us how we are. We told her we were from out of town. She knew our friends very well, and she raced around the bar to give them a huge hug. She hugged us, too! We ordered a couple of Blue Jay beer specials, and we got very comfortable. Deja was interested in where we were from and if we had family. We have two grown kids who are away at school. She showed us a picture of her adorable 3-year-old daughter. She loves her so much, and you could see she was a great mom! It started getting busier as it was closer to game time, and at this point, there was only standing room. She had two barbacks help her get the orders in. The game was on, and it was getting louder and louder as people were cheering for our JAYS! It was complete madness with so many people that you couldn't breathe. But the environment was so energetic and fun, we didn't care. We could see how busy Deja was, yet she attended to everyone's orders and never missed a beat in a professional and friendly manner. She was truly amazing! I could never handle so many people at once. The night went by, and we all know the undesirable result of the game. The entire room was in shock, and their faces were just drained in disappointment. I felt like the overwhelming sadness was shared in the room, and we all began to console each other. At that point, some discouraged people stayed and drank some more, but we needed to go. Deja thanked us, and she ran around the bar, and we all had a vigorous group hug, knowing it would be okay. We will heal. We gave her a great tip, and she thanked us and asked us to come back again. We definitely will. I highly recommend stopping by the Bull on Bloor! We made great memories and new friends.“

“Fantastic food, service and environment! Would definitely recommend!“

“The Bartender’s here are amazing !!! Jaime will literally make your night! I would come to this casino bar just to spend the night with this team! Guarantee laughs and great service! If you wants a great time I highly recommend a visit ! Kajand , Mae and Jaime you made our night !“

“Great staff and great karaoke! A hidden Lake Shore Villiage gem. Friday night for old school karaoke and Saturday night for a more hipster scene. Fair drink prices and lots of space for large groups. If you like the less pretentious kind of place and like karaoke, it's worth the trip.“

“I just ordered delivery for the 3rd time. your food is great! very good price for quality and quantity. I just made a post in a Missisauga group on facebook to recommend your restaurant. I hope this drives in more customers for you. I will be a regular customer from now on. thank you for the amazing food!“

“I've never actually been there on a busy night especially to try their seafood Monday nights. The atmosphere surprises me because the first time entering you would not think that they serve island dish and the misic is comforting. I do enjoy going there.“

“A few bands, and it was tons of fun.

The vibe was great.

However, I take issue with $20 fries. Attribute you could tell they were fried in very old oil.

The only reason we kept the order because we were literally starving.“

“I’ve been meaning to leave this review for quite some time now but better late than never, right? On behalf of my husband and I, we want to thank the amazing staff and owner, whose name I believe was Mike, for hosting our wedding gathering after our civil at Toronto’s city hall on June 22nd 2024. We had initially planned to do a small backyard celebration with family and friends but leading up to the date, the weather forecast had us scrambling for a plan B and to our luck, Mike was totally cool with having us show up with 30 something people on Saturday afternoon! It was great time and everything came full circle given we had our very first date here. So thanks a million for the wonderful service that day! Your staff is always pleasant and welcoming, including your server Daniel who tends to be here on weekdays anytime we come in for dinner. This place is a true local gem.“

“Super great tenders behind the bar! I've met some of the most random and fabulous people/couples I could have ever imagined. A great spot for a cold beer on a sunny day on the patio, or at the end of a long day at work. Tasty bar snacks served with a smile. Karaoke is always a blast.“

“The food here is exceptional on all standards. 11/10 for flavour and presentation. The service was friendly just don’t be in a rush. The wait is worth it. My mom has the coconut curry shrimp with Provision and I had the oxtail with rice and peas with macaroni salad. I wish I came here sooner. Highly recommended! I will certainly be back. Oh btw, it was so tasty we ordered food to go.“

“Local landmark that's been open forever.
Opens early at 1pm everyday for ur daytime drinking needs. ?

Friendly salt-of-the-earth crowd. It won't feel like Toronto when ur here, it's more like sitting in a small-town Ontario working class bar.

Hint: Fries here are to die for. ?

(ps most of the pics posted by Google are of the larger Ukrainian Resto next door, also pretty good, but a different scene.)“

“best burgers in the city hands down“

“This was such a surprise and delight. I had the Cobb salad and carrot cake and all I can say is that this was worthy of a 5 star review. My husband had chicken wings and I also tried one and they were phenomenal. We have a wing place in Peterborough that we love but this takes it next level. You will not be disappointed in service or the food. We were very impressed and it was so unexpected . Thank you Aileen as service was wonderful and your personality shone bright! Thank you for a lovely evening!“

“We had an amazing experience at Milestones, thanks to Vivianna! She was incredibly thoughtful and attentive throughout our visit. She took great care with our orders, making sure everything was just right, and even offered some great recommendations that we ended up loving. Her service was professional, friendly, and made us feel truly welcomed. Honestly, it was one of the best service experiences we've had at any restaurant. Thank you, Vivianna, for making our meal so enjoyable!“

“Was delicious! Our waitress was friendly and brought our food in a reasonable amount of time! We didn’t feel rushed“

“This was our second time here and we highly recommend the food. Our server Katerina was awesome. Very friendly and ensures that you get what you want. First visit we had the small meat platter tonight we had steak and the beef and lamb Royal burger… absolutely delicious 😋“
