The live music definitely adds something special; and the decor is very cool. We had a 6pm reservation, and the place was pretty empty, but did start to fill up around 7pm. We ordered two of their cocktails - and we found both great; good combination of flavours and excellent presentation. They had some constraints in the kitchen, so the food orders were taken late and some items were not available. I can say that the braai platters had an authentic taste; but with items missing, opportunity was lost for the truly authentic platter. Given the constraints, the service was excellent - friendly, and we were kept well up to date. Would love to come again. read more

I had Mrs. Robinson on my bookmark list for a long time and was excited to try it as part of my birthday celebration. Unfortunately, while the vibe was nice with cool live music... the drinks and staff need improvement. Our server seemed a bit off/rude and kept getting our bills wrong. The drinks we ordered (some suggested by server) were not very good. They need to find a better mixologist. We tried a few cocktails and I even ordered an expresso martini thinking that might be fairly standard? Everyone in my group tried drinks from each other and all agreed our drinks were bad. My expresso martini was so bad I couldn't even finish and just returned it. We only ordered fries, since we had dinner earlier so can't comment on food. Ended up leaving for another bar even though we could have ordered a few more cocktails. If you really want to try this place, I would suggest it for just beers. Good with friends for something casual but because of service I wouldn't bring a date, coworker or celebrate any special occasions. Really too bad, could have been a hot spot if they fix these things. read more

It's best to be happy with the same big class on holidays Lai go to the bar, how about a little wine? Xiaobian left a white wine and cocktail Liquor The grape variety is Pinot Grigio. The color is clear and clear. The acidity and sweetness are balanced. It is an easy-to-drink wine. Drink a few more and it will have a light lemon and citrus flavor. It has a summer flavor. As for Cocktail, there are a few tequila grooves, Amaro Montenegro, and ginger beer topping. The drink is sweet and refreshing Since the main course is not too attractive, the editor sipped the left-hand barbecue platter that day, and the meat was too dry. So I don't recommend eating it for dinner. Occasionally there will be a live brand show, so as a whole, I have a feeling that it is a bar rather than a restaurant. read more

This place ticks every box and then some. Well designed interior? Check. Great cocktails? Check. Takes reservations? Check. Amazing DJs on certain nights? Check (shout out DJ Spence Diamonds...check him out if you love hip hop). Amazing live music on certain nights? Check (Currently Re.verse is playing Thursday nights at 9pm for NO COVER). Truly delicious burgers and fries? Check. As the Beastie Boys once aptly put it....Ch-Check It Out :) read more

Great atmosphere! Takes me back to a time forgotten and very much enjoyed! Our waitress was kind and patient, helping and guiding us. On 4/28/2023 I enjoyed the dealers choice (Drink). I wish I knew her name... but she dealt 5 Aces!!! Paired with good music... it was a good night! read more

Great ambiance! Very nice live music and overall atmosphere is perfect for a date or friends meet up. Service is good. Food is average (burgers, sausages, bbq) and inexpensive. One of the few places in the city to try South African street food. read more

One of my all time favourites - this place has amazing burgers & the grilled wings are bomb too. I'm also a big advocate of their onion rings, they're super big, perfectly crispy, never soggy. If you go during happy hour there's a dealers choice cocktail special where they make something for you based off your flavour preferences, which I also love. There's also live music on weekend nights & its always incredible. It's just the best environment to be in - 10/10 date spot but also a great place to go with friends to eat, drink & have a good time. read more

We loved coming here for dancing, drinks, and music. What a way to end our weekend in Toronto. They played mostly older 2000s hip hop, some pop, and some r&b. Very diverse crowd. No cover charge when we went on a Saturday night, but we did stand in line for about 20 minutes. Hadn't done that since undergrad. The drinks weren't exorbitantly priced and the bartenders were friendly and fast. Would come back here when I back in town. read more

Great cocktail bar and music venue - my new favorite place to enjoy in Toronto. The drinks were really well crafted and unpretentious, the bartender was great - took his time and really cared about his craft and our enjoyment. The decor - late 60's early 70's Glam - attention to detail was outstanding, one of the best looking rooms I've seen anywhere. We were serenaded by a pretty tight house band that did a really solid job of delivering old R&B Standards. Worth going to if you're in the area read more

Dropped in to this little join on a Saturday night, there was a birthday party happening so most of the space was filled, but our waitress found us a little place in the back so sit. Right off the bat, this place has the coolest decor ever. It feels like you're stepping right into the new York apartment of a record producer and occasional cocaine dealer in the 70s. The wallpaper is ~groovy~, there's records on the walls and the music is EXCELLENT, if not the most conductive to conversation because it's also loud af. The cocktails list is super inventive, with some great names. I had the little priest cocktail which was infused with earl grey and had a big stick of rosemary in it which probably added zero taste wise but was fun to drink. My date had the wet from the waist down cocktail which was SUPER strong and tiny, but what you lack in juice they make up for in pure alcohol. I would recommend checking this place out if you're in the area and looking for a cool place to grab some drinks and snacks, while we didn't eat they do serve food and it all smelled INCREDIBLE. read more

When I heard this place had a new Peruvian food menu, I had to check it out. Over the past few years I really got in to Peruvian cuisine because of all of the traveling that has been taking place in my life. I recently visited South America (didn't get around to Peru though - next time) and I have spent 6 months out of this year in Miami. This exposure has really given me a clear sense of what good Peruvian cuisine is all about and the new menu at Mrs. Robinson is no joke. I ordered the following items: CONCHA A LA PARMESANA (U10 Scallop) A little pricy but worth it. I've never had scallop like this. I will order 2 next time. JALEITA (Calamari) Best squid I've had in my life. CAUSA LIMEÑA Wasn't a fan of this one but my friend really enjoyed it. EMPANADAS Amazing. Comes with some really good sauces. We doubled down on this order. CEVICHE NIKKEI (Raw Tuna Dish) The quality of this ceviche is the best I've ever had in my life. Better than Carmen in Medellin, Colombia. Those who understand what that means, understand that this something you don't want to miss out on. BISTEC Y YUCA (Steak) Delicious steak. I ordered it with the white truffles but I feel that it would have been just fine without it. TRIGOTTO DE HONGOS A LA PARRILLA (Risotto) This Risotto is bang for your buck for sure. There was a lot going on but again, another favorite of mine. Hearty. Some good vegetarian options as well but I didn't explore. We were doing everything family style so we ordered a bit of everything. The staff here was great. I do recommend making a reservation and trying out some of the drinks. I stuck with the Reverend Green cocktail which really complimented the food and almost acted like a digestive in some way. Highly recommend. Thank me later. read more

We went on a Tuesday night and it was busy. Ambiance is great. I was impressed with the interior the moment I walked in. The singer was absolutely lovely! Great acoustic versions of classic songs. He made our night cap. Our drinks were okay - we had the Lost Lover (very different and strong) and Scarlet Gringo (too much egg white foam but nice and very sour). When it gets busy, they get sloppy - they were giving out a lot of free drinks due to mess ups and wait time, including ours. (PS. Always make sure to tip even if you get a free drink!!!) Women's washrooms didn't have any toilet paper. I'd definitely go again to give it another shot! I'm hoping today was an off night. read more

Excellent cocktails. Quality is high especially given the price point which is a nice surprise. Recommend the le freak. Music and ambiance is also quite nice. Crowd is mostly in the 30s. DJ shows up around 10:30. That makes the place louder and more vibrant. Great place to kill time if you're waiting for food in the area. Recommend! read more

Just okay. We came here on a Friday night. Cool music and vibe but service was very slow. The staff weren't exactly friendly or attentive (probably because it was busy). When we asked for our bill the waitress dropped it off and then didn't come back for another 10 mins (would have been ideal and helpful to come with the bill and machine in hand). read more

Great cocktail bar although the cocktail selection is small, we tried all of them and all are delicious! Haven't tried the food but would go back for it, especially when their full food menu is ready. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because we were sitting at the bar and at some point they started to put the bar stools around us away. I guess it was to make more standing room but the bar wasn't full at that point and it felt like they wanted us to give up our seats too, without an explanation or another alternative. read more

Visited this joint on hearing of their joining hands with Plan B. Their burgers and other South African fare is exquisite, and incredibly satisfying. The music's brilliant, and vibes are chill. read more

Giving this place 1 star since 0 wasn't an option. AVOID if you can!! Was enjoying my night until they ripped me off. Staff "thought I had left" at closing (I hadn't set foot outside all night, and was at one end of what is actually a pretty small bar lol) so they closed out my tab for me, and added 5 drinks I didn't order in the meantime. To get around my $100 tap limit, they put through two separate transactions. And then they rounded it out with a third transaction: a very generous 20% gratuity! I won't be going back, and neither should you. read more

Fun, vibrant cocktail bar. It was extremely busy when I came here on a Saturday night but we managed to find two seats. Music was good, and drinks were so delicious! There was a line of about 20 people by the time we left at midnight. Would definitely come here again. read more

A beautiful cocktail bar with lots of drinks to choose from. Really appreciated them using fresh eggs for the egg whites, did not smell egg-y at all. Also, try the fried okra! You won't regret it. I went here on a Tuesday night and there was live jazz from 9:30pm to 12pm I believe.. Mellow Dee was amazing!! + The amazing ambience and decor is on point. Super 70's glam chic. read more

My go-to bar right now with incredible cocktails, great 70s and 80s music, and all around great intimate vibes. You walk in and immediately feel the uplifting energy with the music. The live bands on the weekdays are a great addition! Just recently had the food there and some of my favs are the jerk chicken pot pie, garlic tofu tacos, black cod, and the sliders! A definite must try if you haven't already. read more

I was here Saturday night with my husband enjoying drinks. From the moment we walked in to the very end of the night we we're taken care of by the most amazing staff. I couldn't help but notice how efficient they are as a team. Very smiley,attentive and quick on their feet! We ordered Endorsed by the Queen and Black Woman Magic which were recommendations from our server! . The best cocktails around the area right now. The only thing letting this place down is the food. The mac and cheese is far too greasy and the cod sliders are messy and cold. With more thought and effort put into the food this place really could be amazing. The service and cocktails is what I'll be back for! read more

Small but interesting drinks that pack a punch. Recommend the Spring Rolls in the Appetizer menu.

Came here on a Saturday night for drinks and really enjoyed it. The decor is fantastic with attentive wait staff. I like the variety of cocktail options here as well. I did not order food but the table beside me did and it looked delicious. A good place to come with friends or even date night. Also, I believe they have live music on Tuesday and Thursday nights read more

Stumbled upon this bar one night while roaming the streets. It was so much fun! The theme, decor, and music are fantastic! Nothing like I've seen before in Toronto so it's a nice change. Not to mention the cocktails are outstanding, high quality, served by the most pleasant staff. This is definitely my new go-to spot. read more

Fantastic vibe and energy here, especially when the DJ plays the old classics! Everyone can't help but jive to the beat and the familiar songs. Menu is small but Food is delicious and reasonable. Sat. is busy so get there before 10:30pm if u want to avoid line-up. Fri there's more space to move around. Service is great! read more

I was out for dinner with some friends and stumbled across this place on a Tuesday night and let me just say WOW! What an incredible experience.

Love this place. The music is really really cool. Just what the city needed. Cocktails are tasty too.
