Sky and Ella give me the zoomies
The best place for a glass of wine or Fairweather beer in Toronto. Unpretentious and unmatched. The staff here is the best.

I stumbled upon this bar while in a night stroll, the interior decor caught my eye initially, it’s quaint and very inviting.
What really made the night special was the incredibly welcoming, warm, talented bartender; Coda.
She took into account that I don’t drink alcohol and gave my wonderful recommendations and even created a mocktail for me. This along with her friendly conversation throughout the night made everything all the more incredible. I adore Coda and will always come back just for her.

We stopped in for a quick drink on a Tuesday and had a great time. I love the vibe, it was very upbeat and casual. It’s a fun place to sit and feel like a woman haha our bartender was awesome and really had some pep in her step. We tried the Cuke Nuke and are now obsessed. We will be back for more drinks and snacks. It seems like a good place to have as your local.

Could not praise this place more, went here 8 or so years ago under different ownership and it did not disappoint. Koda (sp?) was fantastic, running the show solo making complex cocktails and delicious pizza with a full restaurant. Very impressive. This place is ambient vibes with a beautiful patio. If I lived in the city, I'd be a regular. Thank you Koda for being awesome and being such a pro!!

Cute cocktail bar with a nice aesthetic and snacks. Good happy hour options and the side patio (which was not open/setup as it was still too cold) looks like it will be great in the summer
