1. Communist's Daughter
Toronto, ON M6J 1X3
(647) 435-0103
Category:
Bars
Neighbourhoods: Little Portugal, Ossington Strip, Beaconsfield Village
The Commie is an original gem on the Ossington strip.
Nestled close to hipster bars in the area, the Commie continues to offer salvation to those of us who want to a quaint place to hang out on weekend nights. I always feel relaxed when I come here,…More »
2. Stella
Toronto, ON M6H 1N7
Category:
Bars
Neighbourhoods: Brockton Village, Bloordale Village, Wallace Emerson
Looks can often be misleading.
I would often walk past Cafe Stella, see through the dark windows and think how uninviting it looked. To me, it seemed like a divey bar, unsure at how the food tasted or if it was comfortable for me to hang out. My…More »
3. The Dakota Tavern
Toronto, ON M6J 3A1
(416) 850-4579
Categories:
Music Venues,
Breakfast & Brunch,
Dive Bars
Neighbourhoods: Dufferin Grove, Little Italy, Little Portugal, Ossington Strip
One of my favourite places hands down.
Not only have I enjoyed many fun-filled evenings with friends downing a 50 but this joint is also reminiscent of my parents' basement circa 1978.
Once you walk downstairs the feeling you experience is a very…More »
4. Three Speed
Toronto, ON M6H 1M9
(647) 430-3834
Category:
Bars
Neighbourhoods: Brockton Village, Bloordale Village, Wallace Emerson
I definitely wish I lived closer to the Bloordale Village. There's a mix of restaurants, mom & pop shops and cool bars that I can now call my locals. Three Speed is one of them.
My friend, who has been living in NYC for a couple of years, was back in…More »
5. Imperial Pub
Toronto, ON M5B 1C7
(416) 977-4667
I believe the Imperial Pub has a single purpose: to serve the geeks of Toronto.
Yes, it's divey but it's not icky. I've been to icky, divey places in the city, and the Imperial - both upstairs and downstairs - ain't that bad.
It lies close to very…More »
6. Hurricane's Roadhouse Restaurant
Toronto, ON M6H 1L7
(416) 531-7818
Categories:
Bars,
Restaurants
Neighbourhoods: Dovercourt, Dufferin Grove
I have a friend who lives nearby, so whenever I'm in the neighbourhood visiting her, we always plan to meet up here for cheap drinks.
I like this joint. It has a relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere that attracts a mixed crowd from the neighbourhood.…More »
7. The Done Right Inn
Toronto, ON M6J 1G4
(416) 364-9102
Category:
Dive Bars
Neighbourhoods: Niagara, West Queen West, Trinity Bellwoods
Thanks to Devyn G's ROTD of this place, I was pleasantly reminded at how great the Done Right Inn is, and how I should visit more often.
I made a point to meet a friend there the other night, knowing that they would share my attraction to the bar's…More »
8. Black Dice Cafe
I'll try to be fair in my description of The Black Dice Café.
My memory became hazy by the end of the night but this is what happens when you ingest 10 to 15 sake shots in a matter of hours. How I did not go to the hospital that evening with alcohol…More »
9. Shanghai Cowgirl
Toronto, ON M5V 2B5
(416) 203-6623
Categories:
Canadian (Traditional),
Diners
Neighbourhoods: Alexandra Park, Queen Street West
Shanghai Cowgirl's delicious comfort food rarely disappoint me.
I've eaten here dozens of times and have noshed on almost every single item on the menu (I'll admit that I haven't tried the Liver and Onions but I'm gonna).
My recommendations are the…More »
10. Future Bakery & Cafe
Toronto, ON M5S 1Y2
(416) 922-5875
Categories:
Bakeries,
Coffee & Tea,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: The Annex
What more can I add to the slew of reviews for this place? It's apparent that Future Bakery is one of Toronto's much loved and welcoming institutions.
Back when I was college student and lived in the Annex, I used to visit Future Bakery to enjoy cheap…More »
11. The Caledonian
Toronto, ON M6H 1A1
(647) 547-9827
I'm all about atmosphere and this place has it: friendly, inviting, comfortable, it's like I was stepping into someone's house. It's all Donna's doing. She's the proprietor of this establishment and once you step inside her bar, you're in her home.…More »
