Best Bars in Toronto Tonight
Toronto's bar scene runs deep, from candlelit cocktail rooms on Queen West to packed beer halls on King West and decades-old dives near Kensington. Find all of these venues on Clubly, the nightlife app for Toronto and beyond. These are the rooms we'd send a friend to first — pick one, then open Clubly to see which of them your crew is heading to tonight.
Mother
$$$
Tucked away on Queen West, Mother is a tiny, dimly lit cocktail bar that punches well above its size. The drinks are inventive and precise — come early, because the room fills fast and seats are scarce.
View on Clubly →Ruby Soho
$$
A King West staple that turns from brunch spot to buzzing bar as the night rolls in. Ruby Soho's patio is prime people-watching territory and the energy carries late into the evening.
View on Clubly →Bar Hop
$$
The beer geek's headquarters on King West, with dozens of rotating taps and a knowledgeable crew behind the bar. Bar Hop is the move when you want a proper pint and a low-key, conversational night.
View on Clubly →Grossman's Tavern
$
A true Toronto institution near Kensington, Grossman's has been serving cheap drinks and live blues since the '40s. No frills, no pretense — just one of the best dive bars in the city.
View on Clubly →Lucky Shrike
$
A hidden tiki-leaning cocktail bar on Dundas West with a playful menu and a warm, regulars-know-it feel. Lucky Shrike rewards anyone willing to wander off the main strip.
