1. Prohibition Gastrohouse

Canada
(416) 406-2669

Categories: Pubs, Gastropubs, Sports Bars

Neighbourhood: Riverdale

5/4/2009 ROTD 9/25/2009

I've always had a good time at this place. The food is decent and a cut above regular pub fare, and I have no compunction about getting totally sloshed here. The layout is a bit schizophrenic: restaurant to the right, expansive bar to the left, but…More »

2. The Mod Club

Canada
(416) 588-8663

Categories: Bars, Music Venues

Neighbourhood: Bickford Park

10/7/2011

I've been to the Mod Club a few times now. Here's a venue that isn't dripping with clubland douchebaggery nor is it a moldy hipster dive. It's a respectable bar and concert venue that caters to a mixed crowd. I like it.

3. Dominion On Queen Restaurant Bar & Lounge

Toronto, ON M5A 1T7
Canada
(416) 368-6893

Categories: Lounges, Restaurants

Neighbourhood: Corktown

4/19/2009

Respectable east end spot with daily specials and quick service. They also offer live music and comedy nights, but I think the place is better suited for drinks and food. The east-facing patio is small, but a good place to booze after work in the…More »

Category: Coffee & Tea

Neighbourhood: Kensington Market

11/16/2010

As the 731st coffeeshop on this stretch, The Bean features stiff competition from established cafés like Manic and Coffee Culture nearby. This sometimes works in its favour, when you are looking for calm and relaxing place to sit that's not rammed…More »

5. Detour Bar

193.5 Baldwin St
Toronto, ON M5T 1M1
Canada

Category: Bars

Neighbourhood: Kensington Market

7/19/2011

Cool spot. We stopped in after simmering in the Red Room's oppressive lameness for way too long. Detour is deep in the heart of Kensington Market, right by Tom's Place (if that helps you), and is pretty nondescript. It's about as long as a school bus…More »

Categories: Restaurants, Bars, Music Venues

Neighbourhood: Palmerston

5/11/2011

Sarah L and I have never had a bad time here. For some reason we often end up here when no one else is around, and one or more of us has a laptop, and we get to drinking, and five-way-Skyping and incredible times ensue.

Or we'll show up and and before…More »

Category: Pubs

The Underdown Pub is a literally underground spot at Gerrard and Berkeley. Happening new pubs are popping up like crazy in this part of town and the Underdown is no exception. I popped in around midnight on Saturday night and the place was filled to…More »

With a Happy Hour which ranges from 11:30am to 7:30pm daily, standard operating procedure at The Unicorn is inexpensive drinks, a variegated crowd that covers every demographic, and a subterreanian coziness that will usually produce fun times.

Canada
(647) 381-6246

Category: Dive Bars

Neighbourhood: Parkdale

3/23/2012

Located right next to door Salvador Darling[1], this dashing dive serves as a presage to Parkdale. It represents all I've come to expect from this 'hood: a somewhat sketchy deviation from Queen West with boundless potential.

I came here to see Thom…More »

Koerner Hall is part of the Royal Conservatory of Music, and as such hosts a variety of different genres and styles of performance. I came here for a WILD performance honouring the work of John Cage[1] and I was blown away by the splendour of this…More »
