The Places I Go Out
See All Lists
1. Old York Bar & Grill
Toronto, ON M5V 1C9
(416) 703-9675
Categories:
Pubs,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Niagara
I'll put this plain and simple.
I live above a British-style pub with a full menu, a good run of taps, an okay whisky list, and waitresses that wear school-girl short tartan skirts. And yet, this is not my local.
I go across the street to the Old York…More »
2. The Charlotte Room
Toronto, ON M5V 2H5
(416) 598-2882
Categories:
Pool Halls,
Lounges
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core
To be completely honest, it bugs me that I don't go here more often, as I always have a dandy time. The Charlotte Room is tucked away in a side street, Charlotte Street oddly enough, that allows it to have a nice secluded patio away from the…More »
3. Absolute Comedy
Toronto, ON M4P 2C8
(416) 486-7700
Category:
Comedy Clubs
Neighbourhoods: Mount Pleasant and Davisville, Yonge and Eglinton
The newest and arguably best comedy club in Toronto brings comedy back to a bustling Toronto neighbourhood that is no stranger to laughs. The former home of the Yuk-Yuk's Super-Club, the entire operation has been made over to provide a showroom…More »
4. Absolute Comedy
This is the club that has become the flagship for all independently run clubs in North America. Comics from all across Canada and the US have come to recognize that Absolute Comedy in Ottawa is one of the best clubs in the continent.
The design of…More »
5. Captain Jack
Captain Jack's comes with 4-stars, but a warning as well. If you can't handle places that are on the tougher side, read no further.
However, if you're looking for one of the best dive bars in Toronto, you'd be hard-pressed to find a place that beats…More »
6. Wheat Sheaf Tavern
There is a reason that the Wheat Sheaf has stood by as the oldest standing pub in Toronto. Friendly, yet efficient service greet you at wooden tables and chairs that are surrounded by sports-filled TV screens and music so 80's you wait for Molly…More »
7. The Keystorm Pub
If this place was in Toronto, it would be equally as busy and I'd be surprised that it wasn't a franchise by now. But if it were to move here, it'd probably lose the "where did you come from" charm that it currently has. The interior is rustic yet…More »
8. The Horseshoe Tavern
Toronto, ON M5V 2A2
(416) 598-4753
Categories:
Music Venues,
Dive Bars
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Queen Street West, Downtown Core
This place is a mainstay in Toronto so you can forgive it if it appears to act its age a bit. A small patio and a pool table are not the reason that you go here. This is a music venue with low ceilings, small capacity, and great feel.
Firstly the…More »
9. Madison Ave Pub & Restaurant
Toronto, ON M5R 2S1
(416) 927-1722
Categories:
Canadian (Traditional),
Pubs
Neighbourhood: The Annex
I am currently writing this review at the Madison using one of their outlets to power up the ol' laptop, using the free WiFi and about to tuck into the daily special which is the softer option. It's a chicken salad wrap which makes me feel a little…More »
10. Rivoli Cafe & Club
Toronto, ON M5V 2A2
(416) 596-1908
Categories:
Pool Halls,
Music Venues,
Canadian (New)
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Queen Street West, Downtown Core
You can usually find two sides to any place you go into, like you may find a place that has a fantastic club sandwich and also has a brilliant darts league. The Rivoli actually has three sides to it. Sitting on Queen Street just east of Spadina,…More »
11. Lion On the Beach
The good thing about having friends in the Beaches (or "The Beach" as people who live in the Beaches like to call it) is that you get to go to the Beaches to visit them. The bad part about having friends in the Beaches is that you have to go to the…More »
12. Sweaty Betty's
Toronto, ON M6J 2Y8
(416) 535-6861
Categories:
Dive Bars,
Champagne Bars
Neighbourhoods: Ossington Strip, West Queen West, Trinity Bellwoods, Beaconsfield Village
To call this place a hole in the wall is a complete understatement. It's tucked away at the base of Ossington where it meets up with Queen Street and I'm wondering how many have walked by and not noticed it. I finally found it but it was a…More »
13. Foggy Dew Irish Pub
You'd think by living above this place I'd drink there more. Probably a good thing that I don't. Though I have great memories of this place; the first meal I had after moving there (Cheese and Onion Pie as part of their January Robbie Burns…More »
14. Greenwood Off-Track Wagering
If you've got to get roped into going to an off-track betting establishment, you better have friends that will take care of you. And if your friends enjoy the taste of beer and don't take winning or losing that seriously, that's a fantastic added…More »
15. BMO Field
If you're a fan of soccer (or "football" to everyone else save the Americans), you always heard the stories from friends who have travelled far afield to countries in Europe or South America and heard tales of the type of atmosphere that comes with…More »
16. The Banknote Bar & Supergrill
Bank Note is interesting in that the gimmick of it being a former bank is used sparingly. They retain the safe door at the back of the restaurant and have teller windows that separate the booths, but that's it. Thankfully we don't have to deal with…More »
17. Funhaus
Toronto, ON M5V 2B5
(416) 703-4999
Category:
Dance Clubs
Neighbourhoods: Alexandra Park, Queen Street West
The room is dark, the bar is decent, there's a big dance floor, there's couches and tables for conversation nooks, and if you go on the right (or wrong night, depending on how you go), there's fetish masquerades and burlesque shows that you can take…More »
