Drinks & Nightlife

This nearby Tiki Bar has a great selection of local craft beers, but are known (& loved) for their cocktails. Almost every syrup is made on site, and they are always happy to chat with & recommend drinks (even off menu drinks) to customers. Food, aside from cheese plates, is generally not available. This is my favourite bar in the neighbourhood.

The Dylan recently opened and has quickly become a favourite place of mine. They have a huge selection of craft beer (including cask!), have amazing feature cocktails, and frequently have live music. Food is available and super tasty. I recommend the jerk chicken wings!

Getting Around

TTC fare is $3.25, however if you know you're going to be taking the TTC more than 3x in one day, or are travelling with another adult, it's worth getting a day pass from a ticket agent at the station. They are $12, 1 pass is valid for 2 adults, and they work on all TTC underground & surface routes.

Food Scene

This butcher shop is a great place to pick up handmade delicious sausages, local, ethically raised/sourced meat & seafood or, you heard me correctly, lunch! They make amazing sandwiches and the selection varies daily. The staff is super friendly, more than willing to offer cooking/pairing suggestions and very passionate about what they do. Oh! And there's occasionally an oyster bar too!

This Japanese-French bakery offers interesting takes on French classics, daily soups, fresh made bread and pastries. The coffee isn't strong enough for my taste, but it is decent.
