    Incredible Cocktails & Outstanding Bartender! Stopped by Rabbit Hole for a few drinks before picking up my wife, and I decided to sit at the bar--easily the best decision of the night. The bartender was nothing short of amazing. I asked for a surprise, something special based on whiskey or bourbon, and what he crafted was pure magic. His interpretation of an Old Fashioned was next-level--perfectly balanced, rich, and layered with complexity. You can tell he's a true professional, blending skill, experience, and deep knowledge of both liquor and liqueurs to bring something unique to life. The drink was flawless, but his passion and expertise truly elevated the experience. Without a doubt, he was the star of today's outing. On top of that, the ambiance was exactly what you'd want from a high-end cocktail spot--warm, inviting, and effortlessly stylish. If you're looking for expertly crafted drinks with top-tier service, Rabbit Hole is the place to be. Will definitely be back!

    Everything was great... butternut squash was a bit bland though, overall great time and food

    The dill sauce with chips was amazing! I ended up asking for the sauce on the side of my burger and fries. I loved the burger but another friend got it and both her fries and burger were extremely cold. Parking is a mess on the weekends but overall, service was good and my meal was good.

    Brown Butter Beauty!

    A great little hidden gem with beautifully crafted cocktails. It has been some time since I went out for cocktails, and doubly long since I was out on the town in YOW. A friend suggested meeting up for "dranks" and recommended The Rabbit Hole. Tucked away in the downtown core, The Rabbit Hole is truly a hidden gem. The cocktail menu made it difficult to choose just one. So we had a few! I HIGHLY recommend the Brown Butter Beauty. The food menu is on the smaller side, and food takes a while. While the Pizza was worth the wait, the Spiced Navy Bean & Rosemary Dip was not my favourite. Service good, attentive but not annoying. I would come back for pre-gaming but probably not for food.

    Delicious spot for cocktails. We booked a few tables downstairs. Service was quick and attentive. I tried a few cocktails and they were all great!

    The Rabbit Hole is such a neat spot! You walk in and it looks like it is a smaller quaint spot with a bar and fun decor. But then you're taken one floor down to where they have much more additional seating, another full bar, hidden booths and the decor is top notch. Apparently there is also a speakeasy and a roof top patio which I did not see. My party of 4 was sat in a cozy booth area. There was a light pendant over our table and the light bulb consistently flickered, which was rather disturbing to the eyes. We mentioned this to our server and he was very quick to resolve the issue! We were very thankful! I ordered the First Love cocktail and the Red 3 pizza minus the peppers. Everything was delicious and fresh. Service was attentive - our server was always checking in on us. I would highly recommend this spot for a date night or a fun night out with friends. Great location on Sparks Street. I can't wait to return.

    Someone suggested this place from the facility my team are currently training. It's within a strip of other little bars and swanky restaurants. There's no 'real' parking, so we walked from Marriott downtown to this spot (which was about a 4 minute walk). The food portion of the menu was very limited, however they had plenty of drink options! Our waitress was super nice (I think her name was Lori? Maybe?). I ordered a Red 6 with chicken (pizza) & one of my coworkers ordered the rabbit leg (he said it tasted like chicken). It was okay, but a little pricey. I wouldn't revisit, however it was an experience.

    Really good selection of drinks and food. Tables were spaced far apart and they check your temperature before you come in. Not sure if it was necessary but I made reservations on the website the day of. We ordered a charcuterie board for 2 and a couple oysters. Drinks were great. Would totally go back again and try the pizza.

    This bar was fine. Basically a copy + paste of a lot of other hipster bars in the city... and this is coming from someone who loves all things craft. The drinks were fair priced and service was okay, however servers weren't well versed in their drinks at all. I will say that the atmosphere is pretty unique with their twinkly ceiling lights which were really pretty.

    I was SO stoked to finally visit the Moonroom after seven or so years of wanting to go!…read more After a Saturday night at Bluesfest, we waited somewhere else for about half an hour before they told us the kitchen was backed up, so we walked down Preston and I was so glad the Moonroom was still open. We didn't get there until about 12:30am and it was pretty full. We didn't leave until maybe 2:30am and it was still pretty full considering the time. They're not normally open this late, but it seems like a lot of the businesses on Preston decided to stay open later to catch the post-Bluesfest crowd. Good call! We decided to sit inside since there was an empty table, otherwise I would've liked to sit out on their back patio, which looked really pretty with the lights. Inside was a nice vibe though, too. It's small/narrow, dimly lit, with sheets covering the different coloured ceiling lights, and candles on the table. It's very intimate and pretty romantic. We sat close to the bar and there was another party of two beside us. The music was a bit louder so we couldn't really hear the other table's conversations, but not so loud that we couldn't hear each other. They were playing the Bee Gees when we walked (danced) in, so we were really about the jams. My husband got a rotating draught IPA by Daft Brewing, can't remember which one it was. I got the Jill Collins, which had Tanqueray Gin, Affino Limone, fresh lemon and mint, cane syrup, and a Moon soda top. It was super refreshing, bright, and not too sweet, which is exactly what I wanted. We shared/I mostly ate the "OG Grilled Cheese" and "Panzanella-esque Salad". The grilled cheese had aged Balderson and cream cheeses in a crunchy baguette smothered in toasted garlic butter, served with Moon ketchup. It was exactly as described, with very crunchy, buttery garlic bread and creamy cheese. The Moon ketchup is made in-house, thinner and chunkier than processed, store-bought ketchup, with stronger flavours. It was okay, but I didn't need to dip much in the ketchup because I really enjoyed the sandwich and it was on the saltier side itself. Because it was a lot creamier than gooey, I'd say it was more of a sandwich than a grilled cheese, but still very tasty. I really am not a huge fan of salad in general, but I can't complain when it was burrata on top. It also had salty bread, arugula, roasted tomatoes, fresh peaches, herbs, and honey. The peaches were more firm than ripe and juicy, which was good for a salad, though I wish they were a bit sweeter. The burrata wasn't creamy inside like I expected, but I love cheese in any form. I really don't know what possessed me to get salad, especially after a bunch of drinks in the wee hours of the night, but my body thanked me later. Salty, bitter, a little sweet, fresh, and not heavy, even with (more) bread and cheese. It was great. They unfortunately ran out of the affogato, which probably would've convinced my husband to stay longer. Too bad. The vegan dark chocolate gelato from Farinella that they put in it sounded amazing. The beer was $10.50, my cocktail was $19, grilled cheese $16, and salad $17, which was pricey. BUT, the fresh herbs are from their garden on the back patio, they make their own soda and ketchup (among other things), everything was delicious, and even late at night the cocktails and dishes were still well put together and tasted great, plus I finally came here after so long. No regrets! Our server was super nice, same with owner and one of the bartenders, who even popped over and sat with us for a bit to chat. And not in a weird/creepy/in-your-face way lol she was cool. She was the one who greeted us when we came in and said bye to us on our way out. There's no flash photography (I forgot to turn my auto flash off for my salad, sorry!). They're open all week from 5pm to 2am, no reservations, no large groups, and no phone (just stop by). I wasn't sure if it would meet the high expectations and hype I had built up in my head after waiting so long to visit, but it totally did. It's such a nice spot, we had an amazing time, and we will definitely be back!

    Met some local friends at Stolen Goods and wow!…read more I loved every bit of this experience from the super creative drinks to the super cute raccoon theme found throughout! We sat up on the bar so we got a front row seat to all the magic. I was super impressed when the bartenders told us they kind of shoot from the hip for all their drinks in that they don't test it prior! They'll make small adjustments usually for acidity or sweetness but otherwise, you're basically experimenting alongside with them if it's on a recent menu change! My favorite drink of the night was the drink inspired by green curry. First and foremost, I was so confused when it came out clear! But when you took a sniff, you get the fresh scent of basil with some kaffir lime. On first taste, you also pick up some creaminess with the herbaceous notes which really makes it reminiscent of green curry - but it wasn't?! It was confusing, in a good way. My second favorite (of three) was the fruit loops infused drink. It paid homage to childhood Saturday mornings perfectly with the fruit loops whipped topping and the fruity cocktail underneath. It was a fun and lighthearted drink! My third was a drink featuring honeydew. It's such an underrated flavor because it's so hard to find a GOOD honeydew. In similar fashion, this drink also fell a bit short in the floral, sweet honeydew flavor and the cucumber flavor overpowered the drink. Having said that, the cucumber was really refreshing on such a humid day! All in all, loved the concept, loved the experimenting, and really enjoyed the vibes!

We got the King's ransom, Them's the breaks and Petty Theft. King's ransom came in an adorable pig shaped glass and had a fruity yet very smokey flavour. Them's the breaks was also lovely with some familiar fruity strawberry sweetness and a very interesting Merlot pink salt. Last but not least, Petty Theft was our favourite of the night with familiar SE Asian flavours and the nitrogen meringue experience which you pop in your mouth before sipping the drink. This one was $24 since it's a cocktail with a 72 hour process. This is a great spot if you love trying new drinks. The service is friendly, the music is on point and the overall ambience is perfect for a night out. They also take reservations - I recommend the bar seat.
