Keith W.

A little "hidden" gem of a speakeasy. I remember when it was first announced and the concept of having something like this was glorified beyond belief. The cocktails and innovation behind them have not waiver Ed, but due to popular demand, the prices have since skyrocketed - I don't blame them as inflation has a key in it, but it's definitely not somewhere I would frequent as a result of the price hikes. The overall ambiance is chill. The service is usually great, but it did take a while to flag my server every now and then. All-in-all solid and unique cocktail experience

Matcha Snickers

Loved the vibes. Very intimate. Perfect for date night out in the city. Popped in here during my speakeasy discoveries and to get out of the rain. Just to note that the entry way is through the yogurt/ice cream shop! Loved how they had an area to hang your coat! Very rare to find! Bartenders were super nice and friendly!

Super cool bar with a hidden entrance, definitely make sure to book in advance, as it tends to get quite busy even on weekdays. I'm not sure if they take walk ins actually. I wish I had taken more photos of the interior, but the space looks amazing, dark yet vibrant at the same time. The drinks are a bit on the pricey side, but they offer a great variety of unique and creative options. The staff was very friendly, and let us know how the bar works. They do a time limit but they always ask you if you need anything else during your last call.

Decent Japanese-inspired "speakeasy" bar behind a yogurt drink spot (putting "speakeasy" in quotes because you can technically see into the windows from the outside lol). You enter through Kome Yogurt. My boyfriend and I joined the waitlist at 7:50 PM on a Friday (you can join remotely) and were seated after about 30 mins. We tried the greenhouse, Black benne, Ghibli elixir, and Curry colada. Not the most incredible cocktails, but all were super tasty and the bar has a fun vibe.

Our favourite is the ghibli drink!

Loveeee the drinks here. Would come here often if I lived closer. I like their fruity drinks and the ghibli elixir is a crowd favourite amongst my group. It's really cozy inside with a few small round tables, a small standing area and some bar seats. Must reserve if you want to come here. I recommend this place to all cocktail lovers!

A fun, Asian-inspired speakeasy! The inside of the establishment is dimly lit, with gold and green decor, and a chill ambiance. The bartender was super sweet, friendly, and helped my friend make a drink based off of the flavor profiles that she likes. Here, you scan a QR code to view the menu and order with a server; they have fun cocktails, classic drinks, and some small bites to enjoy. After much decision (as so many drinks seemed good), I decided to go with the matcha snickers, which combined barley shochu, dark chocolate, peanut butter, and matcha. It was delicious and a fairly strong drink (21% ABV). Would love to come back here to try some of their other cocktails!

Wow the cocktails here are uber delicious! I'm a big fan of speakeasies and this spot was a fun one to figure out how to get inside. I had a couple cocktails, including the Ginza Glow, and everything was unique and tasty. This is one of those places you wish you could just try every single drink. I've only been to a handful of bars in Toronto but I'd have to say this one was the best experience!

kiwi crème glacée and ghibli elixir
Jessica T.

not only do their drinks taste DELICIOUS, the employees were also AMAZING!!! starting off with the atmosphere, it feels nice and sophisticated. it also is a very intimate speakeasy. the drinks are also sooo good! the left one is the (limited) kiwi crème glacée; although it has tomato and celery, you can barely even taste it because of how it is clarified. the kiwi flavor is really prominent as well. the right (short) drink is the ghibli elixir; it tastes like a melona ice cream bar with a kick of pandan at the end! lastly, the employees... literally some of the best employees ive ever encountered! i went on 6/12/25 around 11pm and the people working really cared for the customers, especially when i had lots of questions lol i didn't get their names so i can't specifically shout them out, but there was an asian girl and a tall white guy (who is the manager) who were so lovely... so shoutout to them (you know who you are!!!)

Found this on TikTok and definitely a place I recommend! Such a unique speakeasy, we had a longer wait but for sure recommend others to reserve in advance. I have no notes for this place. There is limited seating so not great for large group outing. We got squeezed into a standing table. The drinks were some of the best cocktails I have ever tried. There drinks are so unique and well crafted. The drink I had tasted like a strawberry milkshake and so cool it had cheese foam. I tried this on vacation and would definitely visit on my next trip

It's a small space but I very much enjoyed the ambience, drinks, feeling of a hidden speakeasy! If I lived nearby, I'd frequent the space for small hangouts. Having to use a secret password to use was exciting and made me a bit nervous to say and entering through a hidden door is always fun. For food and drinks, I'll start with the bad. The free mixed nuts is free for a reason; it was stale but I guess, something to much on while you drink and hang. I ordered the old boy which came with a cheese skirt cracker and both were delicious! They also have some non alcoholic options if you ask nicely but I do wish they had more NA selections. I would try everything on the menu if I could! "can I order a number 8?"

Moody speakeasy that is located on Stephanie street. You enter through Kome Yogurt and order #8 to get inside. The service and ambiance is great with drinks and bites that are Japanese inspired. It's an idea spot if you're looking for a small intimate bar.

Jocelyn Y.

Amazing cocktails, my favorite is the strawberry tetsu and I will always come back for it! The service is very attentive and patient. The ambiance is great, suitable for dates, or small group gatherings to chat! Love it.

Matcha Snickers and Ginza Glow
Danny W.

Beautiful speakeasy behind a frozen yogurt shop. As a party of 2 we signed up for the waitlist and it was a 30min wait, but when we finally got in the place was pretty empty, which was confusing. The drinks were amazing, a bit pricey but you get quality with what you paid for. The matcha snickers was like a matcha version of an espresso martini, and the ginza glow was super complex and tasty The service was ok, it felt like we waited a long time before our orders were taken. The music choice was interesting- you would expect lounge music or jazz, but it was more like an EDM concert- not very conducive for conversation. Overall recommend this place to try the drinks!

See all

LIBRARY BAR - Close, But No Cigar

Financial District, Downtown Core

I would go back again in a heartbeat. This was one of the best meals and experiences of the year…read more The shaved prime rib steak with the dipping au jus plus French onion soup as an appetizer... this was phenomenal. Every aspect from the sauce to the baguette to the meat was so tasty. I also recommend getting the garlic aoli for the fries. The drinks were very well done and unique in flavor as well, in particular I tried to the midnight show which was like a raspberry espresso martini. It was fantastic. The ambiance of the place is spectacular as well with a cool, library naturally, vibe. The servers were also great and helped accommodate my date who is gluten free, and her baguette replacement was the best that she'd ever had of a gluten free option. All in all top tier experience start to finish.

This cocktail bar inside Fairmont Royal York Hotel has a nice classy ambiance. It feels like…read morestepping into a movie set, with the iconic clock tower. They decorate the lobby, bar area, and the whole main floor with Christmas decorations during the holiday season, including the giant Christmas tree in the lobby (complete with its own lighting ceremony and live music performance). Good selection of drinks and great customer service. Fun facts: The Royal York Hotel opened in 1929. It hosted royalty, heads of state, and golden-age Hollywood legends like Cary Grant and Alfred Hitchcock when they were in town filming or staying upstairs in the hotel. Stepping inside is like time-traveling back decades, with velvet seating, brass accents, and dark, moody lighting. As soon as you walk into the Library Bar, the real centerpiece that grabs your attention is the massive oil portrait above the fireplace. That dignified gentleman watching you sip your drink is George Locke, the very first chief librarian of the Toronto Public Library. I love that a librarian is the patron saint of this bar! The drinks here aren't just cocktails; they're chapters in a story. The current menu, titled "Ink & Alchemy," is actually inspired by Michael Ondaatje's famous novel In the Skin of a Lion. Created by their award-winning mixologist James Grant, the menu is a tribute to the people who built this city: the immigrants, bridge-builders, thieves, and dreamers. You aren't just sipping a martini; you're drinking a liquid homage to Toronto's history.

BarChef has been on my radar for a long time -- definitely one of those well-known cocktail spots…read morein Toronto. Every time I come here, I still think about a drink that's no longer on the menu. I've tried showing them photos and asking if they could recreate it, but it never quite tastes the same. I guess every bartender has their own way of balancing flavors. The cocktails here are beautifully presented. Out of the ones we tried, I liked the one served on the large round plate the most -- both visually and in taste. This time, I also tried the colorful cocktail with cotton candy that everyone talks about. Some people say it tastes amazing, others say it reminds them of soap. Personally, I didn't get that "soapy" taste, but it was definitely on the sweeter side. If you only order that one, it might feel a bit overwhelming. It's very pretty, though -- I found myself alternating sips with other drinks to balance it out. Everyone's taste is different, but I personally prefer cocktails that are more refreshing, slightly sweet with a bit of acidity. The ambiance is great -- dim, stylish, and perfect for photos. It's a fun place to visit, especially if you're looking for creative drinks and a unique atmosphere.

Once they open up the wall the inside is just as nice. It is lit well enough to see everything well but still moody warm lighting. To be honest it was a but out of our price range so we just got one of the bottled beers. While still pricy, the bottled beer was pretty good and I can only imagine the cocktails wouod be great. One of the really nice touches is that the bill comes in a wax sealed envelope which really matches the atmosphere and was actually something I kept as a suvanneer. There are few speakeasies that put in the effort that they do so it is worth special occasion drinks for the atmosphere alone.

One fun fact about this place is that y'their entrance is one-way; once you enter through the door, you cannot walk back and you have to exit from the other side (and come back again through the entrance). They also have 2-hour seating limit. Their cocktails are beautiful and tasty. We tried "Lavender & Lemon", "After 8", "The Foreigner", "Japanese Burnt Martini" and "Au Revoir Shoshana" and "Champagne & Absinthe". All of them we liked. We also ordered some shareable Hors D'ouvres: "Pommes Frites", "Smoked Marinated Olives", "Fried Chicken" and "Truffle Lobster Roll". We enjoyed them all, but our favorite was Smoked Marinated Olives; really loved the smokey taste of it. The vibe is really nice and the staff are friendly.
