(416) 916-0571
Categories:
Bars,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhoods: Ossington Strip, Trinity Bellwoods, Beaconsfield Village
Came out with some friends on a Saturday night. It's an interesting place. In the front is a bar where they're playing music if you just want to hang out and drink and chat with your friends. The back however is a full-on club. There's a second bar…More »
2. Yelp's Ping Pong Ball
Another great Elite event and the first in Toronto that had some physical activity to it also.
While I'm not a fan of gin I did try one of the cocktails, the pink one, what ever that was. The beer however was great. I drank Barking Squirrel (Amber…More »
3. Fynn's of Temple Bar
I've been here three times now, two of those being right after Elite events. Always had a good time.
The second time I came was for their Octoberfest beer tasting night hosted by Kevin, the MC of Iron Chef. From beginning to end it was a great…More »
4. Shoppers Drug Mart
Etobicoke, ON M8X 1C2
(416) 234-0136
Categories:
Drugstores,
Convenience Stores
Neighbourhood: Etobicoke
The store has a pretty large beauty area considering the size of the store. Other than that it's the standard HABA selection, pharmacy, and their pretty light on the grocery side.
There's a couple of entrances/exits so you can get into the store from…More »

Toronto, ON M6H 1N3
Categories:
Tapas Bars,
Beer, Wine & Spirits,
Tapas/Small Plates
Neighbourhoods: Brockton Village, Bloordale Village, Wallace Emerson
I really wanted to like this place but I just can't. I came with a handful of friends on Saturday night just before midnight. The place was packed which seemed to be a good sign. We made our way to the back, ditched our coats and tried to get a drink…More »

Toronto, ON M6S 1P1
(416) 760-2330
Category:
Banks & Credit Unions
Neighbourhood: Swansea
Super friendly and quick service here.
I popped in while running some errands to get a money order. I barely had time to stop at the front of the line when the next teller was calling me over. She was quick to process my transaction. It's been a ling…More »
7. Cupid Boutique VIII Sex Shop
Toronto, ON M4Y 2B3
(416) 967-7544
Categories:
Adult,
Accessories,
Bridal,
Lingerie
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
While a little smaller than similar shops along Yonge these guys have the product selection to suit your needs. They may not have everything under the sun but you can probably find what you need for your parts where the sun don't shine.
The couple of…More »
8. Brass Taps Pizza Pub
Toronto, ON M6H 1A4
(416) 533-4333
This was one of our stops on our Yelp Dufferin Grove pub crawl.
We literally came in, did a shot of tequila and left to grab food at Hadley's.
The place is dingy, the bathroom smelled funny, but our waitress was cute and nice. There was a good sized…More »
9. The Caledonian
Toronto, ON M6H 1A1
(647) 547-9827
This place is a whiskey lovers wet dream.
The wall behind the bar is drowned in whiskey from floor to ceiling. It was the first stop on our Yelp Dufferin Grove bar crawl so I took it easy and went with a basic rye and diet. I liked the vibe of this…More »
10. Calgary Plus 15 Network
Why brave the elements outside when you can get around downtown in the world's longest skywwalk system? This 16km network lets you go from building to building without leaving the comfort of room temperature.
While some areas seem to be poorly planned…More »
11. Downtown Jewelry Mart
I had a couple rings kicking around the house that I've been meaning to get rid of. Thought I would try out one of these cash for gold type places and see what they would offer. One ring was 10k gold, the other titanium.
I'm not sure if the woman…More »

Toronto, ON M1P 3G9
(888) 301-7378
Category:
Local Services

I recently needed to have someone served. After a little bit of research I decided to go with Dominion. I called them up and the lady I spoke with was quite helpful. I had a bunch of questions and needed to understand how the whole process worked.…More »
13. Angus and Company
Toronto, ON M6G 1Z4
(416) 537-4104
Category:
Antiques
Neighbourhood: Seaton Village
This a great furniture/housewares store and it looks to be getting even better. They have closed off a third of their store so they can transform it into an interior design consulting space.
I'm in need of a new coffee table and went here to hunt down…More »
14. Erotic Arts And Crafts Fair
Toronto, ON M6J 1J6
Category:
Arts & Entertainment
Neighbourhoods: West Queen West, Beaconsfield Village
I've come to this event two years in a row now. Last year I wasn't overly impressed, but maybe I set my expectations too high going into it.
This year seemed to be more of the same but now knowing what I was coming for I enjoyed more.
The individual…More »

Toronto, ON M6G 1K3
(416) 537-1574
Categories:
Department Stores,
Outlet Stores
Neighbourhoods: Palmerston, Seaton Village
This place has gone downhill in the past few years that I've lived in Toronto. It used to be a massive place that you could wander around in to kill time or to find odds and sods like you would a dollar store.
Now it's just kind of sad. many of the…More »

Music & DVDs
Neighbourhoods: The Danforth, Greektown, Riverdale
Walking by this store I spotted some chess and checkers games in the window so I thought I'd pop in and check it out. The store was not what I was expecting but still interesting.
The front part of the store has children's clothing and some…More »

I came in looking for a gift bag, which unfortunately they don't carry, but discovered some other fun things. Their paper runs from about $6 per sheet up to around $13.50, though there were a few more expensive options. Most of the paper was on sale…More »

Toronto, ON M6G 1L1
Category:
Bookstores
Neighbourhoods: Koreatown, Palmerston, Seaton Village
I've been looking to off-load a few books so thought I would pop in here to see what they were like. It's floor-to-ceiling shelves, and piles, and stacks of fiction with some cook books thrown in for good measure. This place is so packed that you…More »

Toronto, ON M6G 2L7
(416) 533-9168
Categories:

Comic Books
Neighbourhood: Palmerston
I finally made it in here after walking by so many times at night when hitting up one of the neighbouring bars.
There's lots of stuff here. Lot's of stuff that I don't have any clue what most of it is. There's comics and books from all corners of the…More »

It was great to see so many stores open on Family Day. I was able to get a little shopping done and some errands completed. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get lunch. Most of the restaurants were closed, which I thought was a little odd.
Either way,…More »

Category:
Art Galleries
Neighbourhoods: Niagara, West Queen West, Trinity Bellwoods
Ask yourself when the last time was that you had a craft night. It's probably been a while, particularly if you don't have kids. A handful of us Yelpers gathered for a CMYE on a cool, wet February eve to partake in the wonders printing.
After a warm…More »
23. Target Pop-up Store
Toronto, ON M5V 1K1
Category:
Women's Clothing
Neighbourhoods: Queen Street West, Downtown Core
Today was the day that Target came to Canada, sort of. At noon they opened a pop-up store in an old condo sales centre and specifically had Jason Wu's line for sale with a limit of 3 items per person.
When I arrived at 8:45 there was only 5 people in…More »

Eyewear & Opticians
Neighbourhood: Renfrew-Collingwood
I've been using CC for the last couple of years for contacts. I had debated buying glasses through them or taking advantage of one of their "free" glasses promos but was hesitant.

(416) 585-3607
Category:
