Lounges in Toronto, ON

“The bed was very comfortable and the room was cozy. However, I was disappointed when I called the front desk for water and the receptionist immediately told me I would have to pay for it, even though I never said I wasn’t willing to pay. It felt like an unnecessary assumption.

The bathroom was also very small, and the shower pressure was almost nonexistent—I was basically showering in a trickle. Overall, a comfortable room, but the service and bathroom could definitely be improved.“

“Birthday Dinner, Great Food & Live R&B

Visited September 20, 2026

I went to Reservoir Lounge for my birthday dinner and live entertainment, and it turned out to be a great choice for a Sunday night.

The fish cakes were excellent. As my friend described them, you could “taste the sea,” and she meant that in the best possible way. They were fresh, flavourful, and one of the highlights of the meal. We also ordered the pizza with everything on it, the last pizza listed on the menu, and it was so fresh and delicious that we ended up ordering a second one. The lychee martinis were okay, but they weren’t a highlight for me.

The star of the evening was Xavier Solis. He was an amazingly charismatic singer and performed a fantastic selection of old-school soul and pop hits. He even serenaded me with “Happy Birthday,” which made the night especially memorable.

The atmosphere has the feel of an old speakeasy, with a low ceiling, intimate red lighting, a small stage, and a lot of character. There was also plenty of room to dance, which is exactly what some people in the audience did once the music got going.

Overall, we had a great experience. Excellent food, strong live entertainment, and an atmosphere that feels different from the usual Toronto restaurant. I highly recommend Reservoir Lounge for a Sunday night out, especially if you want dinner, live music, and the option to get up and dance.“

“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!“

“Good food y Excellent service“

“The food was amazing, especially the steak absolutely juicy and delicious. The ambiance, the elegance of the place. I loved it.“

“Cozy atmosphere and great food.“

“We had an amazing experience there, great atmosphere, excellent food, and a wonderful service experience. We felt completely at home with the hospitality imparted by the serving staff, especially Tristan, his calm demeanour and attention to detail were not unnoticed by our party.“

“The Heart and Soul of the Beaches!
If you’re looking for the quintessential Toronto neighborhood bar, look no further than Castro’s Lounge. It’s cozy, unpretentious, and easily one of the best spots in the East End to grab a pint and actually feel like part of the community.
The atmosphere is what really sets it apart. It’s small and intimate, with the walls covered in fascinating historical photos that give it so much character. Whether you’re stopping in for a quiet afternoon drink or catching some of the incredible local live music in the evening, the vibe is always welcoming and laid-back.
Why it’s a local favorite:
• Incredible Beer Selection: Their craft beer list is massive—one of the best in the city—with plenty of local taps and unique cans.
• The Music: They host live acts constantly (everything from jazz to blues to folk), and there’s never a cover, which is a rare gem these days.
• Vegetarian-Friendly: Their food menu is surprisingly great, especially if you're looking for solid veggie or vegan pub fare.
It’s the kind of place where the staff knows the regulars by name, but they’ll treat you like one even if it’s your first time. A true Toronto institution!“

“This place is absolutely amazing. They have a wonderful atmosphere, staff, food, and just overall vibes. The prices are a great perk as well! I cannot compliment it enough. My boyfriend and I were in Toronto for vacation and this was hands down our favorite spot in Roncevalles!!“

“Such a unique cocktail experience! Went to Bar Chef with my girlfriend and had an amazing time. We went with the $90 tasting menu, which honestly felt like a great deal considering it included both the Contemporary Cocktails and Modernist experiences.

We tried the Confectionery and the Nitro-Chilled Dirty Vetiver Martini, and both were incredibly well thought out. The attention to detail was what really stood out, every cocktail had carefully considered components, textures, aromas, and flavours that made each drink feel like its own experience.

Overall, highly recommend to anyone who appreciates creative mixology.“

“Went to Ruth’s Chris with my husband and 2 children for my husband’s birthday. The staff were fast and kind, they helped to make the service and day special. One manager in particular, Kathy, went above and beyond to make sure to check on our table and food, and helped me coordinate a cake. Thank you Ruth’s Chris for a great experience!“

“A very interesting looking restaurant where the name and the decor seem not to match. However, does that really matter? The core gives you the feel of a hunting lodge and a sporting pub. The menu is small, which is great, especially since everything on it was delicious. Their burger was probably one of the best I’ve had in town.“

“Enjoyed a lovely cocktail after the show.“

“Had the privilege of touring the Gladstone House. As a Wedding Planner I highly recommend this unique venue for your wedding or event.“

“My friend and I had a very pleasant lunch, service was great. I was rather disappointed in the “lobster” and shrimp role for $29, I only found a tiny piece of lobster in the entire sandwich. I mentioned this to our server and she said she would discuss it with the kitchen but I didn’t hear anything about it, not even an apology. The roll was supposed to have been toasted in butter but it was ridiculously dry and no evidence of butter toasting. My friend had the quinoa bowl for $24 and it looked very nice.“
