Horseshoe Tavern Bar • $
370 Queen St W, Toronto

“The Horseshoe Tavern is maybe the best local bar in Toronto. Relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, excellent location. A perfect place for a drink or to catch a show most nights. They bring in international acts and also out a real spotlight on local indie artists (like me!). I love this bar!“

“A few of us popped in for a trip over from Ireland recently. A great spot for a quiet drink with some friends. Hanks had a very unique decor that offers up a very laid back atmosphere.

The bar man is top notch, very friendly, chatty and is constantly checking in on the group. The bar is cash only, but there is an ATM in the bar and it's clearly signposted.

Decent selection of drinks on offer, but don’t be expecting anything exotic or over the top. Does the basics and does them well.

Overall, I would highly recommend! We’ll be back if we’re ever in Toronto!

Big up to Hanks, from the group of Irish football fans! 🇮🇪“

Jenny's Bar & Restaurant Bar • $
2383 Dundas Street West, Toronto

“I happened to visit Jenny's bar when I was in the area to go to a boutique, and wanted to grab some drinks with my girlfriends afterwards. As soon as we walked in, Jenny welcomed us with a smile. Drink prices were super reasonable, atmosphere was unpretentious, and the bar had a cozy atmosphere where most of the patrons are regulars there. Jenny was so friendly, she let us know there was karaoke available and encouraged us to sing but we're too shy 😂

Looking forward to visiting again for drinks in the future!“

Ted’s Collision & Body Repair Bar • $
573 College St, Toronto

“They got 2 pool tables and a cool layout with outdoor area and a yard. Interior is all you need from a bar, red lights, lots of space, paintball machine, some silly things here n there.
It was pretty loud inside but you could escape it if you move around the area.

Would recommend 100%!“

“Excellent bar. Wide variety of drinks at very affordable price. Linda and Kudo are so good with customers and they serve very well. They are a Good hardworking bunch. I will definitely come again if I ever crave for a beer or shots. There is enough space for party, just call ahead and it has good music. They have a juke box kind of deal where you can select music you like. Just Amazing, and I know you’ll say the same.Just an insider tip: free food just after 8 ? : homemade Chinese food (till its last ).“
