Ward 14

I've only been here once, but I'm pretty confident in saying it's already one of my favorite bars in the city. It's a little bit of a hole in a wall - easy to miss if you're not looking. It's super small inside and crammed with vintage finds and knickknacks, like a giant lava lamp, lights, and random other pins, charms, and home decor, all of which you can buy. I think it's pretty popular, so I can see it getting pretty crammed, especially with everyone's winter gear. There's a booth when you first walk in for a small group vs. two folks like we were, and where it would be easier with more space to play one of the many board games they have.

We didn't get anything to eat, though I was really debating on getting the totchos (tater tot nachos!) on their limited snack menu. We were just happy with the drinks, since they have some pretty awesome cocktails and craft beers, including their own Ward 14 stubbys.

For you insta-obsessed folks - one of the washrooms uses old bingo cards as wallpaper for your next selfie ;)

Ward 14 is the perfect drinking while in the wall, quirky and all yet without being pretentious.

To be fully honest, it reminded me of the good old time before COVID. The ambiance was warm, service was great, drink selection was limited but provided just the right amount of selection of local goodness! I would not rush to Ward 14 for the food,  but this goes back to the non-pretentiousness of it all... While I had myself craving some parmesan truffle popcorn, the basic fries were crisp and quite yummy, and how can one go wrong with a pogo. They do have seasoned nuts but happened to be out at the time.

Overall there was nothing about Ward 14 that should make it special... It's not a lot of things, but truth be told, I kind of really liked it for all that it is and all that it is not. The goldilocks of drinking while maybe?!

Quiet corner on Preston Street not your typical bar I have to say, but the drinks are pretty good. The staff are amazing and friendly and the vibe is very much communal and especially something that we all need. I met a lot of good friends there and I can definitely say anyone even a first time customer would enjoy it.

Excellent place to go for drinks. On the pricey side but serve a tonne of unique drink options. They also have a food menu as well. Service was fast and very friendly. The best part about this place is the atmosphere. Prior to Covid, the indoor seating area had such amazing ambient lighting and now during Covid they do have an outoor patio but it's quite limited in terms of space and often full when I walk by (likely because of how great the place is!) If you're willing to wait a bit for a table and looking for a cool, unique spot - this is the place to try in Little Italy!

Great place to hang and buy anything you see. Cool music and great bevies. If you know the place you are cool. Play classic board games while you sip some cool drinks.
