| - 4 stars for yummy cocktails, awesome bartenders, a fish tank and Nintendo games. I came here on one of my bar hops around Toronto and genuinely had such a fun time.
This spot can be hard to miss because it's squished in between two larger restaurants/bars and there's not really any signage outside. But nonetheless, it's there, and it's worth a quick visit! The space is fairly small. A few tables at the front, a small mini lounge with two couches right next to the fish tank, and then plenty of bar seats along the long bar.
God, people in Toronto just know how to make people feel so welcome. Coming from Vancouver, I thought we had a friendly nightlife scene, but it's nothing in comparison to Toronto. I sat at the bar waiting for my friends and quickly started up a conversation with the bartenders and those sitting around me. Everyone was so nice!
I didn't come here to get any food, but I saw that they had a few food options. Could be a good spot to grab a quick bite and drink if you're looking for options down Queen St. W.
I asked the bartender to make me his favorite drink and all I know is that it had whiskey in it. It was strong and tasty, just the way I like it! Right after that, I switched things up and decided to try the "Harvey Has A Horrible Coat" which had something of a mix of tequila, sherry, cucumber, simple syrup and maraschino liqueur. Now that was good.
My favorite part of this bar? Their N64 right next to the bar. While enjoying a good cocktail I was able to enjoy a game of the OG Mario Kart. Awesome.
Thanks for a fun night, Rush Lane!
