Souz Dal has to be hands down one of my favourite bars.
What I love:
- they only serve booze
- small, intimate, cozy atmosphere
- great clientele - no douches have been spotted during my drinkin' time there
- everyday has a cheap special (hello...$3 drinks in Toronto?!)

Small, dimly-lit bar in Little Italy with a low douche factor and lots of North-African-inspired art. They have an extensive funky martini and cocktail menu as well as drink specials du jour:
Mondays - $5 mojitos
Tuesdays - $5 margaritas
Wednesdays - $3 rail drinks
Thursdays - $5 caipirinhas
Fridays - $3 house shooters
Saturdays - $3 house shooters
Sundays - $5 martinis and $20 pitchers of sangria
Portions tend to be small. There's a patio but it's covered. Don't you dare smoke on it!

I like my bars like I like my women.
Dark, Hispanic-ish, Small, and less than $40 a night.
It's cozy- but doesn't seem to have AC, got a little covered patio thing in the back. The tables out front look out on to College and like @Kat F. says, there are some pretty good specials.
Miked drinks are $3.50 on Weds and for $5 on a Thursday you can get a Caipirinha (awesomest drink I had there- it's got some sort of tequila flavored booze from Brazil called Cachaca mixed with a bunch of limes and sugar)
Get one of those.
you live in a city because you were looking for fresh air? people smoke, get over it.
dim lit (me likey) and wormwood-less :( absinthe (me still likey)
What's with the smoking on the "patio".
It's not a fucking patio, and it's ridiculous people are smoking out there.
Since 2006, you cannot smoke in all workspaces and enclosed spaces open to the public. What, are you new or something?
Oh Souz Dal where have you been all my life? I love this little watering hole. What's not to like? It's small enough to be cozy, big enough to accommodate a group of people. It's got a small patio in back. The drinks are the cheapest yet some pretty decent quality along College Street in an area that is notoriously overpriced. The tunes are happening and there wasn't any atypical Little Italy douchery in sight! I love it. :)
The Yelp post Harbord House crew hit up Souz Dal and it was the perfect spot to wind down. I'm red penciling this little gem of a bar into my book for a great place to hook up with friends without breaking the bank. The only real draw back is that they serve no food whatsoever so there is no in house noshing to be had. You can, however, much like Magpie and the Red Lantern, bring your own goodies in the house. Duly noted for next time. When I'm boozing, I like my savouries.
The first stop on my "b-day" crawl! Already such lovely memories attached to this place!
It's a tiny cozy lil place with dim lighting. Romantic oui? Si. The drinks were delish! I had a few refreshing mojitos and a chocolate cake shot!
With a cheap special for each day of the week I'll deffo be back! I can afford it! And I'm legal! Yay!
Thanks again to everyone to came out and wished me well! Also! Zack S! I would like my Yelp shot glass back please!
Another night of sexy, sexy times at Souz Dal. The martini menu reads more like a dessert menu (what a tease) with names like creme brulée and creamsicle, and I've recently learned that they carry my new favourite drink - the Caipirinha (Brazil's national drink, apparently). Incredibly yummy and expertly prepared. Amaretto Sours (my signature drink) are smooth, not too icy and just perfectly sour.
On Mondays, Tuesdays and Sundays mixed drinks are $4 instead of $8. Now that is what we call a "steal," friends.

Souz Dal was the second stop on my birthday adventure this past Saturday (the first stop being the classic fave Nirvana). I scoured Yelp for a suitable drinks destination and the almost flawless reviews for Souz Dal sucked me right in. Fortunately, the plethora of 5-star reviews were bang on. :)
At this point in the night we were a party of 8, and we nicely fit at two round tables in the middle of the restaurant. I'd definitely like to make a return visit as part of a twosome though -- it seemed like a very romantic date spot. The atmosphere was all-around perfect: cool, sexy, and relaxed, all rolled into one.
And the drinks, mmm, the drinks. I heard that Souz Dal had the best mojitos in the city and they are definitely now at the top of my list with their perfect blend of mint and lime. I'm VERY eager to return on a Monday when they're only $5! The other members in my party had various fancy cocktails and I tasted a few, all of which were delicious and generously filled with booze.
Great date location. Best amaretto sours I have ever touched my lips to. Although prices aren't the cheapest, their drink menu is very extensive, and I have never tasted a drink off their menu that I disliked.
It's very cozy and cute in the winter. Candles in wine bottles make for a warm effect. I have no problem venturing through the snow to get warm in this bar.
In the summer time the back patio is perfect for smoking, drinking, and conversing in a very relaxed atmosphere. I can't say anything bad about this cute little bar in the heart of little italy. It's more than perfect. If that's even possible.
The loungy latin music, the twinkling christmas lights at the bar, the cozy feel put me in a relaxed mood right as I walked in the door. I decided to sit outside on the back patio, pulled up some lawn chairs, while looking at an extensive menu with drinks I hadn't seen anywhere before. I got a Caprinha that was icy, just the right amount of sweet and very refreshing! and a Creamsicle martini, which tasted exactly like a creamsicle, just better.
I'm already day-dreaming of going back here again and I was just there last night!!
This place is sexy simplicity at it's best! As Tovah F. said this is a really great date venue or intimate place to catch up with a friend as I did.
The martinis on the menu were epic and delish and a typical $7.25 for 2 1/4 oz... my personal favs were:
Coconut Creme Pie: Stoli Vanil, Malibu coconut rum and cream
Jolly Rancher: Polar Ice Vodka, Sour Puss raspberry and lemonade
Love Potion no. 9: Polar Ice Vodka, Malibu coconut rum and Lychee liqueur
Can't wait to go back and try some more!
I have escorted half a dozen first dates to Souz Dal. It's all very 'Kissing Jessica Stein', I know. Maybe I'm trying to capture this bar's essence of mystery and sexiness to apply it to myself? The illusion has served me well, at least until my dates' alcohol can take effect.
The cushioned window box lounge is the most coveted table - a cozy little hideaway with a view of the action on College Street. With the moody lighting and music, I feel as though I'm in a gypsy caravan that stays still while the world passes by. There's a tiny patio hidden away, too, which feels a long way removed from Little Italy.
The cocktails are excellent: Astro Pop, Rasta, Jolly Rancher, Chocotini, Sweet Tart... and luscious whiskey sours. Rock the casbah, indeed.

My Souz Dal experience is one of weekend brunch. I've never really known this place to be anything other than a bar, but one Saturday morning I walked by and noticed a brunch menu taped to the window filled with reasonable prices. So I said 'what the heck,' and tried it.
The brunch here is good, but different from what I'm accustomed to. In fact, the breakfast reminded me of the kind of breakfast you'd get at a café in South America, or perhaps even parts of Europe. They don't have coffee, but they do have those thick americanos you could raise the dead with. They bring some toasted bread with a selection of butter and jam while you wait for your meal. And the meal itself is exactly what is listed on the menu. If it says eggs and pancetta with fruit, that's what you get. There's no potato side dish, there's no toast (consider saving some pieces from what you get earlier.) The food was all great, and it's definitely the kind of place to try out if you're nostalgic for that international café feeling.
Love the Mojitos. Seriously some of the best in the city. The barman is usually surly and service can be slow, but at least he pours with a heavy hand. The seats by the windows are the best.
