I visited during their Aperitif Hour (5-7 pm), which is a fantastic way to sample their menu at a discounted price. I tried the La Deese (Empress 1908 Gin, St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur, cold-pressed raspberry, and white wine). It was light and beautifully balanced between sweet and sour, with the egg white giving it a silky, frothy texture. The bartender was professional, courteous, and clearly skilled at their craft. I can't wait to return to explore more of their cocktails--and hopefully enjoy some snacks prepared by George

Went end of the night and sat at the bar. Bartender told us there are no menus. You tell him what you're looking for in terms of flavor and spirit and he'll create something. I think we said savory rum based. The bartender made two daiquiri riffs that were decent. Got the bill to see upcharges for premium rum, upcharged for shaken cocktails too. We never asked for this, but he sure charged us for things we shouldn't have to pay for. Drinks weren't even memorable. Won't be back.

Extremely impressive. A must try

So I've done 3 Fairmont lounges/bars now…read more Empress Vicoria Hotel Vancouver and here. The Royal York Fairmont Library Bar This place was busy when I got here on a weeknight, but with the location right next to the entertainment district, I can see why. I couldn't even get a seat for the first bit. Standing room only. I got a seat later after a patron left. Friendly bartenders/servers. The lounge is located off to the left when you enter the hotel and is a bit separated/closed off from the rest of the hotel lobby. The hotel and the lounge is certainly grand. It looks like there was a top to bottom reno and gave the overall ambience a nice upscale vibe. I like it. There was the occasional ball cap and hoodie in here, but generally it was a more mature and casual to classy crowd. I'll be back. Likely in 2027. Anecdotally, why are the women always, and I do mean ALWAYS, dressed better than the men in general? I go to a lot of lounges, more than you've been to in two or three years combined total, and this is no exception. Bring some A-game gents!

Note to self: book a table next time! I came with 3 friends on a Tuesday night after dinner, and it was busy and all tables were reserved. We managed to snag seats at the bar. Not as comfortable, but front row seats to bartenders making the drinks. Service is perfect -- courteous without being interruptive or overbearing. Drinks were great! A nice range of beverages, and even a selection of mocktails too. Several things on the menu with Asian flavours, which was well executed. There was something for everyone!

Not going to lie, we had trouble finding the entrance, even after looking it up online, but it is through the shop in the corner of that block and through a vending machine door. There was already kind of a line waiting in the shop on the side, so we did not order the #8 to get in. It is dimly lit and has good music playing, but the area inside is on the smaller side. The drinks are on the expensive side but the drinks are higher quality. The staff was also very nice, they provided phone chargers for us when our phones were about to die.

The decor was welcoming and very interesting. I'm partial to brick walls and eclectic decor though. It was a great place to go for comfort food on a rainy day in Toronto. Server greeted us promptly and were attentive. The grilled calamari was yummy and presented well with olives and fresh greens. It was perfectly cooked. The lasagne was good but not the best I ever had. Lots of layers but could have had more sauce. It was still delicious. Great place to meet a friend or go on a date.

A classic Punk / Rock n Roll Bar in Toronto CA. Basically the CBGB's of that scene…read more It's been around since the early 1990's and is exactly what a spot like this should be. Very nondescript outside facade - no sign telling you what it is other than a small "BSC" (for Bovine Sex Club) painted near the door. Hard to miss though as the exterior is made up a punk rock style sculpture of rusted bikes & other assorted ephemera. The interior is similar, visually. Great sound system & chill vibes pervade throughout. Weirdly the stage is right in the entrance of the club, on your left, with a long bar along the right side, heading back. Great, crowd, great location in cool area with lots of restaurants & plenty of parking - both on the street up to 2 hours & extended parking for a flat-rate of CA$20 (~$14 USD) from 6:00pm until the next morning, just 2 blacks away.

Are the beer cans running out? It's possible. But, it's a dive in the way of the old dives. And the acoustics for bands are... not great. But they are a sign of what once was. Without attempting to try to present a front of a time long gone, The Bovine simply exists today as it once did in that time long ago, before Smokes stickers, before iPhones, back when people would just go to a bar to talk with those they didn't know the morning prior. Bring cash though, unless you're looking to make some big orders, because credit card is a minimum fifty-dollar spend.
