Top 10 Unique Toronto Bars You Have To Check Out
The city of Toronto is one of the best cities in the world to enjoy a good night out. Whether it be with family, friends or a first date, there is always a new bar opening with a whole new experience and an entirely new food and drink menu. The uniqueness of Toronto is what makes the city so much fun. I could say every bar in this urban jungle is the same scene with different people but I would absolutely be lying to you. Take a trip to the tropics right on Queen Street West or play traditional Chinese game right on Dundas. Whatever you do, just make sure you pick one (or two) cocktails to sip on because not only is each and every bar a unique experience, but at these Toronto spots, you can be sure to expect a list of drinks you wouldn’t ever dream of.
1. Convenience Bar
This Queen Street West spot could easily be mistaken for a typical convenience store to any by passer on the street but once you step inside and walk through the candy isles, you’ll transform right into an urban playground. Take a sip of their award winning bubble gum cocktail or grab a $5 cocktail on tap, yea that’s right, $5 cocktails.
2. Good Fortune
Pop into Toronto’s Good Fortune Bar on Eglinton Avenue to experience their uniquely unconventional drink list. Slurp back a boozy milk shake, slushie or Jell-O shot all while sitting under string lights and gorgeous décor.
3. Pray Tell
When you hang out at Pray Tell there’s a good chance you’ll feel like your sipping on a yummy cocktail inside a beautiful plant conservatory. Enjoy some snacks and floral beverages while sitting inside their green space of wall plants.
