50 Best Bars in Toronto

• Take-Out
• Delivery

“Alo Restaurant does stand for its reputation as 1 Michelin Star restautant. We had a ten couse meal last night and were very satisfied. We nearly missed it because its location is a bid hidden, tuck in an old building at the third floor with no significant sign nor billboard. But the food and service were excellent. You cannot go wrong with the Hokkaido Scallop, Shrimp Toast, La Canardierre Foie Gras and the East Coast Lobster. Two of the staff, Marcus and another young smaller guy were excellent, providing really good service.”

“I had such a fantastic time here recently. The vibe is exactly what you want for a relaxing night out, and the selection of craft beers in the refrigerators is honestly impressive. I really enjoyed the creative touches they put into their drinks. One of my cocktails even came garnished with a little paper airplane on a skewer, which was such a fun detail. I will definitely be coming back again soon.”

9 Bar Banane

13 TO. Lounge

4.8 Superb 118 Reviews

1384 Queen Street West, Toronto

“The best crowd and vibe. The cook made me a dish she had perfected and it held up to any expectations. I had a great time and loved every minute. There was a band that killed it. But also a random dude with an acoustic kept the dinner crowd entertained before we heard the band step on stage. If you want culture and community, come here.”

14 The Comrade

4.4 Superb 254 Reviews

758 Queen Street East, Toronto

“Excellent food (especially the pan con tomate with anchovies 👌) and its really nice sitting out on the patio during the summer, but the inside of the restaurant is way too dark. Can't see the menu or my food, which doesn't make much sense when you're trying to eat. Also seems silly when there is some beautiful art on the walls (I especially love the deer and antlers) which patrons can't even see. Or much of anything.”

18 Round The Horn

4.7 Superb 136 Reviews

331 Roncesvalles Avenue, Toronto

“Been going to The Horn for many, many years. We've gotten to know all the staff who are absolutely amazing. It's one of our regular spots in the neighbourhood to have a delish local lager (or three, who are we kidding, right Dave?!) a munchie and chill on one of the best backyard patios in the city. There's always a game on and the vibe on the inside is laid back and comfy. Kristin and the crew are all gems! 5/5!”

Definitely get the Guinness because it’s so cheap and their food is shockingly awesome. Best nachos in the city but they aren’t large portion wise so be aware. Their wings are also really good! Worth the visit :)”

370 Queen Street East, Toronto

“We were a group of 3 people and we'd been bar hopping all night and we were on our way home when we passed Decoy Bar and loved the vibe of the place so we just went in and was greeted by our friendly bartender Brandon. My friends and I had a blast! Brandon made us instantly feel welcomed, talked to us about the drinks and we ended up ordering a cocktail called Simply Cindy and it was the best drink of the night! We had gone to two other bars previously and by far the vibes at Decoy Bar and drinks and Brandon made the night super memorable. Will definitely visit again soon!”

It’s not often a Toronto bar can be reasonably priced, prioritize community, have amazing food/drinks, and a kind, knowledgeable staff — but Bluebird checks every box! Truly one of the best bars in the city, and it was an amazing experience from planning to execution. Big thanks to Caitlin for helping to put it all together! Organize your events here!!”

“Gabbys Danforth.... Rude staff and an even more rude owner... don't bother complaining about anything because you're just going to get cussed at... absolutely appalling behavior... the usual crowd are loud obnoxious and seriously over their limits. I've witnessed tables and chairs falling all over the place on many occasions because people are way too intoxicated to think. The owner acts like he's untouchable and says things like " you're in a bar what do you expect " . I expect to be treated as a paying customer. Never going there again. also... one of the servers is literally always drunk out of her mind... my very first visit she was crying about her ex... and almost every time I ordered wings SHE GOT MY ORDER WRONG....over and over again!! let's just say ive had many free wings and stuff from her as an apology... I gave them a chance. several actually. but after that conversation with the owner.... im done. DO NOT RECOMMENDED!!!!”

43 Red Cranberries Restaurant

4.5 Superb 191 Reviews

601 Parliament Street, Toronto

• Take-Out
• Delivery

“My friends and I went for a late Saturday lunch on a whim and were completely delighted by this charming neighbourhood spot. The dining room is warm wood and low lighting throughout, with walls that are adorned with house specials and local art (that is beautiful and available for purchase) — so cozy! Service was prompt and generous with great recommendations and the right amount of whimsy. We tried the chicken butts, French onion soup and Caesar salad. It was everything we wanted! All tasted very homemade, with fresh ingredients and generous portions. Would order everything again — that soup was so well executed — and return to try more (the chicken and rib Saturday special dinner, Sunday toast, and sticky toffee pudding are on my list!!!). What a beautiful neighbourhood spot. Serving up delicious food and all the feels (reminds me of dining in the 90’s without actually being dated or tired).”

44 Short Turn

4.6 Superb 117 Reviews

576 Queen Street West, Toronto

“Arriving as a party of one I was immediately greeted and escorted to a small one seat high bar table table near the front of the venue, giving a view of the bar and drinks being made. Nice atmosphere made me feel like I was in a 50's dining car though the seating was a bit small. I ordered the steak and potatoes but since the potatoes had dairy I asked if they could be substituted for eggs which the waiter graciously accommodating evening making sure that the sauce they put on the steak was left off to the side because it also had dairy. The steak and eggs, which I had medium rare and sunny side up, were delicious, I only wish the steak portion was a little bigger for the price. I hope they add eggs as a standard substitute for potatoes in the future. I then ordered some bake beans and a black coffee with sugar, the baked beans were excellent and the coffee was fine though tasted slightly burnt, nothing too bad or anything. All in all, the wait staff were lovely, the food was good, and the atmosphere achieved what I am sure the owners' wished it to achieve. Would definitely return again with company. I have lived near by Short Turn since it's inception, yet this was my first time dining. I regret not trying it sooner. Would recommend for smaller parties or a solo dining experience.”

45 Mom’s Basement inc.

4.6 Superb 117 Reviews

1430 Danforth Avenue, Toronto

“Mom's Basement is the best retro bar in the city. Just an old school crowd, enjoying old school VHS movies, in a chill and retro old school place. No pretensions, just a welcome bar staff and affordable local, Canadian craft beers . This is the local at Danforth and Coldwell. Not a big food menu, but cocktail and beer varieties aplenty. Come here! You won't be disappointed;”

“I was just at Zakkushi on Carlton, terrible service there！！！made me leave before even eating. I came next door to Kintaro, I’m so glad I did. The food here is much better, the flavors are balanced (unlike Zakkushi, which was way too salty), and the service was genuinely friendly and welcoming. This place beats Zakkushi in every way. Highly recommend Kintaro—skip Zakkushi and come here instead.”

50 MIKAKU Izakaya Toronto

4.5 Superb 161 Reviews

6180 Yonge Street, North York

• Delivery

“Food was excellent (very umami) and arrived quickly but service was somewhat questionable. We called ahead of time to see if the restaurant was busy, the server was hesitant to respond though the answer was that there would be space for our party of 5. When the ebi shrimp (5 pcs) arrived, I was curious as to why there were only 4 crackers to which she hesitated then responded “oh?” And walked away. We realized after we finished the maze udon that the dish was missing the rice and went up to the counter to ask for rice, to which the server responded “you’re supposed to get it after you finish the udon”. I said “yes, we did” and she then asked if we wanted the rice now. Not sure if she had forgotten as it didn’t seem like she had the intention to check on the table.”
