Cocktail Bars near Scarborough

“We had a emo themed birthday celebration on the weekend and we picked the evening slot (8pm-3am). My friends and I had a great time singing, dancing and snacking. The staff was very accomodating, friendly and helpful. They also gave us a nice treat from the house which was a very sweet touch :). We had a lot of fun memories. Highly recommended for friend-get-together. We will defenitely comback to try some of their other snacks as it was sold out.“

“Relaxed modern atmosphere with amazing staff!!!!!!“

“I think this place is quite good. The sound system is nice and the happy hour is affordable since the price is the same for the entire duration (I usually go from 2pm-8pm) and you get one free drink. But the system is definitely easier for people who know Chinese, which is fine for me. English songs can be found as well, but it requires a bit more effort. The rooms don’t smell like cigarettes anymore, so do give it a try!“

“I had my graduation celebration here a few weeks ago and it was PERFECT. This place is so unassuming from the outside, which I love. After walking in a narrow restaurant, we stepped into the most magical oasis in the back. Beautifully decorated with great natural light, fairy lights and wonderfully kind staff creating the most cozy and welcoming environment. I couldn't have asked for anything more and the food was also delicious and promptly served. We especially loved the skewers and beet salad! Thank you for such a wonderful experience. We will sure be back :)“

“Everything was great!!!“

“Super fun drag trivia night!!! Thanks Messy Margaret!!“

“Learned about this place from Too Good To Go app and decided to come here for lunch with a friend. It is a little hard to spot since it is hidden in a small street. We heard this place just open a month ago, so might explain why the place wasn't too busy. Good for us, since we could sit by the cozy lounge area. I got the Avocado Toast, and my friend the Mediterranean Cauliflower. The Toast was super balanced and beautiful (and so much avocado!). The Cauliflower had a lot of components and was very filling. We both agreed the food was 10/10. if you coming for Cocktail, would recommend the Amethyst and the Carribean Sour!“

“The Best Martini in the City
If you’re serious about your martinis, 43 Down is a must-visit. The cocktails are impeccably balanced, served bone-chillingly cold, and presented with a level of sophistication that’s hard to find elsewhere in Toronto.
The atmosphere is moody and upscale—perfect for a post-work drink or a nightcap. Highly recommend The 43rd for something unique, or a classic dry gin martini if you want to see them do the basics perfectly. Don't skip the truffle fries!“

“Had an amazing time at Cactus Club downtown Toronto! A huge shoutout to Samantha Swan for being an absolutely fantastic host. Her warmth, energy, and genuine hospitality made our night extra special. Thanks for making us feel so welcome—we'll definitely be back!“

“They made our visit truly exceptional. Even though the air conditioning wasn't working, the team welcomed us warmly and went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable throughout our visit.

The Happy Hour is absolutely worth the trip! The cocktails were excellent, the food was outstanding, but what truly sets this place apart is the intangible element that can't be taught—service. Paras and Kay were exceptional hosts, attentive, friendly, and genuinely committed to making our experience memorable. Their hospitality (and food) is what will bring us back.“

“amazing service, amazing accessibility delicious food.. I'll definitely be back“

“Second time there to having dinner with my husband by Dior’s retreat. Very thankful and grateful“

“Colie is amazing! We’ve been here a few times, and she’s been consistently great every single visit. Friendly, attentive, and always makes the experience better. Highly recommend! Thank you for always taking good care of us and the food is always amazing.“

“As a veg/Vegan for the last 30 years or so, this was the most amazing plant based meal and experience, I have ever had. The bar, the quality, the STAFF …EVERYTHING ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Thank you so much for your beautiful food and atmosphere. 🙏✨💕 I can’t wait to return.“

“We had an absolutely lovely experience here last night. We sat at the bar and had 3 courses of food, all beautifully presented and unique flavours. We were served by Ana who was informative, professional and enthusiastic about what she does. The monthly changing wine flights allow for trying 4 varieties that you may never had thought to have, and if you like something that much well you can buy a bottle to go! Brilliant 🍷

We will be back, my friend and I claimed it’s “our new locale”. I highly recommend it!!“

“I LOVED the Drag Brunch with King and Lucy Flawless. Brought my mom and she’s equally obsessed. Please keep having them, they’re sooo talented and gorgeous. I had the Pico de gallo avocado toast and they had the french toast and they were both delicious. Amazing vibe, service, food, music, everything! Love you, O’Grady’s!“

“We arrived at about 12:30 were greeted by a friendly young lady and seated right away..Sydney Peel was the manager that made sure our table was changed to make it more suitable for us..she was friendly knowledgeable and very professional always with a beautiful smile! Our server was (Mat) or Mathew he was super..served us with a smile and circled back several times to make sure we were happy or did we need anything more..great service from everyone..we loved our lunch! The staff is outstanding here and food is awesome! Thank you!!“

“Had a wonderful experience dining here with my family. The food was absolutely delicious. The service was great, and the overall atmosphere made our visit very enjoyable. We had a fantastic time and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!“

“Our graduation celebration at Black+Blue Restaurant in downtown Toronto was an absolute delight. The impeccable service provided by our server Mathew truly elevated our experience. As a steakhouse, the food was exceptional, but what truly stood out was the unparalleled attentiveness and helpfulness of the staff. Mathew’s guidance and attentiveness made the evening truly special. Highly recommended for any occasion where exceptional service and fantastic food are a must!”“

“We visited Desi Bar & Grill yesterday on 14 Dec 2024. The experience was worth mentioning as the Desi Bar & Grill's Interior was quite impressive, with the relaxed feeling of an entertaining restaurant with the food, bar service, and server courtesy. It deserves a stars (*****) rating except for one suggestion. It is nice to hear the ever-green Indian Songs except for the loudness associated with the noise this created necessitating keeping it low will be dignified and relaxing for distinguished visitors to engage in audible mutual conversation rather than put restraint and blockage by loud music. Running of soft Indian 'Gazals' will add to the environment apart from Punjabi/Hindi songs.“

“Had the best and most flavorful meal here last week. Staff is friendly, food presentation is beautiful and so yummy. Can't wait to try something different from the menu next time. Will definitely back!“

“The food and service was excellent. I would recommend this restaurant for a large intimate event, such as a graduation.“

“Went for Winterlicious lunch. Great food, attentive service. Clean, light filled space on a freezung cold day. Had momos for appetizer, salmon on a bed of tomato lentils for the main course, and creme brulee for dessert. Hot chocolate with whipped cream was perfect for a cold day. I recommend this place, and will go again.“

“great servers, great food glad we had entrees down by the water.“

“We were pleasantly surprised and impressed with the ambience and attention to detail at the Broadview. It was beautifully remodeled, but still had unique historic detail and touches everywhere. Our room was perfect and included a record player and a vinyl library on our floor! I appreciate things like the well stocked mini bar and quality toiletries. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful. There was a water shut down issue on the street that was completely out of the hotels control and they compensated us with a discount, even though it was not their fault. It had really cozy and charming Christmas vibes too! We cannot wait to go back.“

“I knew my soul was asking me for some Latin Flavor! This was my experience … Sitting in the cozy patio heated up by some warm outdoor heaters and greeted by the Owner Antonio in a very friendly manner and leading me to their cozy outdoor patio space heated up by outdoor heaters. Rustic, clean and lit up patio style, latin music, full of people in the patio chatting and laughing. I was introduced to the chef and waitress and they were both very friendly. I was served a delicious classic sour margarita just the way I asked with less agave. They bring it out with a beautiful red pedal inside just lovely. Then my main dish for this day that I was craving was the Peruvian style ceviche. It was just enough salt and lemon to my taste served with chips tostaditos on the side. I also had 4 little tequenos which are pastries filled with cheese and a sauce and finally ended with dessert un flan !!! Definitely recommend this restaurant to friends and family!“

“Came here on a Saturday night for a few drinks and apps.

For drinks, I got the non alcoholic Silent G which was super tasty.
For food we ordered the chicken and tuna melt empanadas as well as the Dumplings - all were delicious !

Atmosphere and service was also great! 😊“

“The restaurant offers a refined yet warm atmosphere, perfect for celebrating a special occasion or enjoying a memorable evening. Although it’s on the pricier side, the quality of the food, service, and overall experience well worth it.. highly recommend Louix Louis for anyone looking to indulge in an unforgettable dining experience.“

“Nice setup, friendly server, good selections for side dishes“

“As a young solo female traveler, I felt very safe and the staff was extremely helpful. I ordered breakfast to my room and it came within 20 minutes, my service at dinner in the REIGN restaurant was great and I was checked in and out very quickly and efficiently! Would definitely recommend“

“Just when you think they can't raise their game any higher Hy's manages to find a way. We attended the Calgary locations 10th Anniversary Celebration on Sept 26th and it was spectacular. The event was flawlessly organized and orchestrated by the Hy's team, the food was next level even by Hy's standards and the service exceeded anything we have experienced anywhere in North America even in the finest hotels. Bryant Olender added a classic background with piano and vocal stylings that perfectly suited the atmosphere. It was certainly the best evening we have at Hy's over the last decade, and I don't think I'm overstating it to say it was a "Once in a Lifetime" experience. A huge thankyou to Barb and the entire Hy's team!“

“Best meal we've had in ages. Beautiful presentation, friendly, attentive service, delicious food. Highly recommend!“

“Enjoyed a lovely cocktail after the show.“

“Did not realize this was a Shining-themed bar until we walked in and took in the decor! Honestly a very fun vibe with unique and tasty cocktails and a silly theme. The bartender was friendly and easy to talk to. Definitely a great spot for a casual drink or two!“

“I went there to see some live music and the atmosphere was fun and the people that work there were friendly. The music scene is great for people who love the blues and the food is really tasty! Awesome tacos!🤩💥“

“What an incredible experience! Such a friendly vibed hotel, so very welcoming and the staffing is just tremendous! Thank you, with love from the Jones’ ladies at Isle of Man,“

“Easy to work with and killer results! From consulting to the finished product they were so professional and helped my event go off without a hitch. Highly recommended for all events!“

“I just move my small business here. @sassydollstudio. it has been amazing. everyone have been very help and so nice. thank you“

“13 of us headed to Spirithouse for a private cocktail workshop last night in their new space. It was amazing and exceeded all expectations. Liam our teacher and host was excellent. Very cool guy. The speed and vibe were top notch. I would definitely recommend. Thanks for a fun night!“

“Not a bad note at any time. Monica is a very good server who is knowledgeable, engaging but not smothering. There when needed. The food is inventive and so tasty. Small bites. Two of us ordered five dishes and loved them all. The sommelier, Tessa, makes an amazing Arancello (better than Limoncello)! Her wine list is interesting and extensive, covering most types and regions, but we would have liked more bottles from Ontario, although the ones provided are all really good. We shall be back.“

“Best Indian food !!!! And Friday nights great live music with ALAN COHEN AND FRIENDS.“

“I recently visited Clockwork for a beautiful tea for a close friend's big birthday celebration. There was a great selection of teas and delicious treats, including gluten-free and nut-free options for those with dietary restrictions. The atmosphere was perfect, and everyone had a wonderful time. Before the tea, I emailed Elise to make sure everything was perfect. She was very lovely and accommodating. The staff members Gemma and Leah were nice but also incredibly attentive, making our celebration even more special. The whole experience was great. I would highly recommend it!“

“Great service and delicious food 👍“

“Great place for lunch, reasonable price, very good quality. Our waitress Rahel was excellent. Thank you Rahel!
We came next day again and were served very well again. This time it was Jarred. Definitely we will come for a breakfast again next time when we will be around“

“The food was absolutely amazing. My 3 daughters and I went there for dinner during Summerlicious 2022. We didn't have reaervations and the options were a 1 hour wait to sit inside or be seated right away on the patio. We chose the patio. We were served our drinks and appetizers within 1/2 hour but our main course came about an hour after but it was worth the wait. We will definitely return🍾🎉“

“Had an absolutely fantastic dinner at Ryu Izakaya last night. From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm and attentive. Our server, Josie, was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us great recommendations. A truly flawless evening—highly recommend checking this place out“
