Alright I think it's time I finally reviewed 416! I held off as long as I could about spreading any word but it's spread beyond anything I can contain (plus it doesn't help when I bring new people here weekly).
416 Snack Bar is probably one of my top 3 favourite bars in Toronto (possibly my favourite) and for a tons of small reasons. There's just an amazingly cool vibe when you're in here and I'm not sure what it is but it's very unique! When it gets packed and every table is filled with people chatting and laughing away, there's an incredible energy you get from the space.
Plus it does't hurt when they have amazing food to much on while your having a drink with friends. It's important to note that this is a 'snack bar' not a restaurant so don't expect full out dishes to be served here (dishes are $6-10). Everything is finger food, bite size dishes and they're absolutely delicious. The menu gets rotated around every so often with new dishes so I can't particularly point out anything specific but I have yet to have a single dish here I didn't like.
They also have a great wine and beer list (yes they still serve Duggans here) with skilled bartenders if you want to grab any specific cocktails.
Regardless wether it's after work, a predrink before heading out or post (early-ending) party, 416 is the best place to head to with a few friends.
