Review from Tara Z.

I don't talk to strangers. When my friends are late, I bury myself in my smartphone and pretend I'm really busy so I don't have to feel like a loser being at a bar by myself. Don't lie to me, you do it too.
Except for this place. This is that mythical neighbourhood bar where you can stop in for a drink on a weeknight and have the bartender give you a half-pint that's closer to three-quarters and have the people sitting at the bar invite you into their conversation and forty-five minutes later you realize you don't care where your friends are because you've been talking about Berlin with an installation artist who's about to pack up and go, seriously, it's the place to be. -

we got here just because the lineup to drake (and all the other places we checked) was humongous.
but the place proved to be danceable and nice in general.
the music was some mix of hiphop and dance electro.
the minus is that the place is super super tiny and dancing becomes hard at the peak hour.
but definitely an alternative when drake/gladstone are packed.
oh and also no cover! -

This place isn't all too busy either so you can sit down for a date or in a group and actually have a conversation. The decor is nice but isn't too fancy. Long dark bar, leather sofas, floating shelves used as tables, candle light, red walls, and a lounge area near the back.
The place does need a few decorations as the walls are just bare red, I think it would really make the place. Service is fast and drinks here pack a punch and you definitely get your money's worth.
Overall, this bar is a great spot for pre/post drinks. Music is great and service is fast. Drinks pack a punch and are worth the price tag. You may want to eat before you go though, as there isn't a food menu. -

It's tiny. Like 70 people or so.
Even though it's right in between monster clubs like The Social and The Drake, Lot 16 never really caught on, which means it's still largely a local pub type spot.
It's dark and long, and flanked by one long bar. The music is a mixed bag and you can't see much of what's going on inside from the street.
It's the perfect place for a cozy little date or after dinner drink, or if you want to hide out from your psycho ex at The Drake Lobby Bar. -

It might seem like another bar's afterthought for when capacity's exceeded in their main space, but Lot 16 is successfully holding its own on the trendy Queen West strip. A combination of good, unpretentious DJs and friendly service keep locals coming back for more, even if there is only standing room available.

good alternative to the rest of the queen west scene. good drinks, pretty decent people and generally good music. if you want to drink, chat and dance, this is definitely an option, although there's something about it that just doesn't do it for me... i can't put my finger on it.
