Long overdue review but I wanted to share the phenomenal experience I had hosting my birthday party here back in January.
Michael, the owner, was wonderful to work with and made sure everything was taken care of. We went back and forth a few times on the number of people and settled on doing a partial buyout which allows for 35 people or less. There was no fee to book and the minimum spend was reasonable. We were able to bring in cake and play a curated playlist via their speaker system. Michal was a great communicator, and accommodating when we arrived a little earlier to get setup and decorate with some balloons / banners and themed table toppers and napkins
We also placed an order for some snacks ahead of the event - everything was delicious. We had edamame, fries with truffle oil, popcorn chicken, panfried beef dumplings and takoyaki.
The staff were amazing and ensured that the drinks were flowing and everyone was having fun. Cocktails were unique and tasty - dragon fruit gin sour was my favourite.
I highly recommend Michael and his team if you’re looking to host an event. I truly appreciated their hard work in making this birthday one for the books!

Great event space

I have visited a lot of restaurants in Toronto and being a Torontonian I could say this is one of the hidden gems. I have worked with the owner Michael and he truly cares about the craft of owning a restaurant and bar. He puts care into his clients and food which is displayed with his bar.
Those are looking to throw an event, this is a great space to do so with some of the best customer service and food. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a cosy date to running an event.

The vintage decor is nice, but that’s about it. Drinks are overpriced for what you get, and while they do have non-alcoholic options, the overall selection isn’t great. The space is cramped, making it uncomfortable when it gets busy. Food is passable but nothing special. If you’re looking for a relaxing spot, this probably isn’t it.

Food bad, price expensive, service bad

Drink is expensive, 20 dollars, and everyone needs about 50, which is not ideal for the environment and is not worth such a high price.

Very welcoming and warm/cozy environment. The cocktails here are some of the best in the city, and the popcorn chicken and other snacks are unique and delicious.

My finacé and I had our engagement party here with about 60 of our friends. We had the best time! Service was amazing, and the staff was so friendly. I would 100% recommend hosting your event here! Thanks again!
I recently hosted my birthday party at Opium Bar, and it was a wonderful experience! I rented the entire space for a party of 50 guests. The manager worked with me to create a menu that would suit my guests. The staff were very friendly, professional, great communicators, and made the planning very easy. On the night of the event, the bar staff were a delight: very attentive and friendly. They took care of everything so that i could focus on enjoying myself. I found all of the Opium staff to really go above-and-beyond to make sure the event was a success. All of my guests raved about the food and drink, as well as about the space itself. I am so happy that I chose Opium for my birthday, and I would highly recommend them for anyone planning a private party.
