The old space may look familiar since the space used to be where Beatrice Society was. Consisting of 2 floors, Sobr Market has a wide variety of non-alcoholic options (including de-alcoholized wines, flavoured sodas, etc.) that recently opened in late April. I stopped by Sobr Market the day they opened to the public and was amazed at the great selection they have. The only thing is that...who would have thought...that non-alcoholic options can get quite pricey. I did see some brands I am familiar with but there were many other brands to try as well. Staff were attentive and friendly during my visit, asking if I needed any assistance or help. I did purchase a few cans of de-alcoholized wine and some sparkling water as well. Good option for those who are trying to cut down alcohol or don't try at all!

I walked past Elephant & Castle Pub And Restaurant several times and finally had to enter! I loved pub life, so I was excited about what I would find. A small Canadian restaurant chain founded in 1977, it had locations in Canada and the U.S. that offered the charm of a British pub complete with traditional food, beers, and of course a perfect place to catch football matches. Did I feel like a king of the castle who rode in on an elephant in search of a pint and some chips!?

Once I ordered, my drinks arrived immediately while the food was no more than ten minutes. The place was busy, so it was all about getting the orders out as quickly as possible. I got what I needed, so all was good - cheers! PARKING (Varied; N/A this instance): I was constantly in the area all day throughout the entire 2025 Toronto International Film Festival, so I simply walked. Otherwise, there were spots along the many main and surrounding streets, some nearby structures, numerous public transportation options, and rideshares - 'nuff said! ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE An elongated layout with two large bars, a ton of chairs/tables, and sidewalk seating, it felt cramped yet roomy enough to move around.

Forreal though, the run Soho House had can only be rivaled by 2011-2015 Whole Foods. You really had to be there... but like any other prime, Father Time always catches up. I was set to do a full rise and fall piece on the Soho House right here on Yelp but in my research, I stumbled upon an article by Lydia Moynihan in the NY Post and she nailed it. I really didn't have much to add so go over and read that if you have a sec. Shoutout to Lydia. Instead, I'll just recap our experience here like any other boring Yelp Review. We came to this Toronto location before the Taylor Swift concert, and I was pleasantly surprised. It felt like prime Soho House. A beautiful, discrete brick building with an old school interior. Whoever designed this one needs a raise. I'm so tired of the cookie cutter half-assed modern architecture. The ones in LA and NY now feel like it is just a bunch of dorks trying to be seen by God knows who. There is no soul in those locations. We grabbed a drink in the lobby and went upstairs for our 5pm dinner. I domed a couple of negronis and we split a margherita pizza and a bottle of pinot noir before our mains arrived. I got the rigatoni, per the waitresses recommendation because she had a thick Italian accent. Big truss. She wasn't lying either, that rigatoni went crazy. I took like 30 pictures before a staff member came over and said no pictures, as I didn't know that was still a rule here... please don't beat me up. We closed dinner with a couple espresso martinis before setting off on foot to go see Big Tay put on a show. She really did her thing. Thank you Soho House Toronto, for giving me a taste of what the Soho House used to be in the states. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews

Gayle wanted a bottle of wine for our nearby Hilton Hotel room and as we unsuccessfully tried to…read morelocate the address of this LCBO, it struck both of us that we needed to go below street level. So after descending into this section of Toronto's extensive underground business district, we found this LCBO almost immediately. LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario) must be the "free market" brand of what remains to be a Province controlled alcohol enterprise. Unlike the old Pennsylvania State stores, our LCBO experience was one of a clean and modern store, with helpful employees, a really nice selection (and purchase), and reasonable prices. I still prefer the more complete free market approach that Alberta has, but when in Rome. Our 2 chardonnay choices were: - J. Lohr Riverstone - Pelee Island (Ontario) - When in Canada, why not buy Canadian wine?

I don't have a lot of nice things to say about this location…read more its tiny, its hard to walk around, and the stock is terrible, granted the wine selection here is very good, to the point where they have like 70% wine vs anything else. if you need something that's a staple, like Bacardi white rum, or smirinoff vodka, you will find it here, but don't expect to find anything of flavor, or uncommon stuff here. the staff are the redeeming factor here, and the location is great, just the selection is terrible, and selection is what gets people in the door. this location is in the path of the BMO building, underground parking is available, and this location is serviced by the 504 king streetcar, the 514 cherry, and the #6 bay bus.

They had a wonderful array of options, and I did the tasting flight back then that consisted of two whiskeys and two gin's.

I remember sitting at the bar and being taken care of and the bartender, being very thorough and polite with explaining each spirit and what hors d'oeuvres it would pair well with. I love the old factory/warehouse vibe of the distillery. The building looked very old from the outside with a more modern interior. It was definitely a highlight of the trip and something I would highly recommend for any avid whiskey drinker.
