  • I. Love. This. Place. I actually found out about the Communist's Daughter on Yelp, and hopefully this review will guide others there as well. I came here with some student friends over Christmas break 2014. It has the facade of what looks at first glance to be a convenience store, which is not only charming, but smart, because the disguise means only those in the know seem to venture in here, preserving the bar's status as a shared secret among its regulars and maintaining its warm, communal atmosphere. There is a good selection of beer and whiskey, I believe I got a Creemore and a Jameson or two. They weren't expensive, nor does anything seem to be exorbitantly priced. But the best thing about the Communist's Daughter is the atmosphere. Old Slavic portraits on the wall, notes of foreign currencies displayed behind the bar, even a bartender who could've been an extra in the Grand Budapest Hotel. I believe the following experience nicely captures the essence of this establishment. We came on a Monday, when they hold a weekly event called "DEcide on the B-Side". Patrons are invited to bring vinyl records, which are played on the bar's turntable. After the A-side of an album is finished, the bartender gets the attention of the whole bar (less than 30 people), and holds a vote. The options in this vote are: A) Keep playing the B-side of the current record, or B) Move on to the next record, which remains a mystery until the crowd decides to play it. This inevitably sparks debate, and anyone who feels strongly about a certain record is entreated to give a brief argument as to why it should be played, while the whole bar patiently listens to their impassioned address. It's a blast. I don't know many other bars in Toronto where this kind of game would be possible, and where everyone in attendance, most complete strangers to each other, would so enthusiastically want to take part. This exemplifies the strong sense of community that still exists in Toronto, the togetherness that this city was built on, and I believe it is vital to keep that spirit alive. The Communist's Daughter is doing a fine job of it.
