| - Well, I have been to Rum Diaries a few times a month for a year now - its local for me - so time for an update.
Plenty of opinions. I will try and approach my review differently, to let you know how to best use this place. From there you can give it a shot and see what you think. Fair?
The best night I recommend you give a try is on a Thursday to start. You have 1/2 price Rum Cocktails on Thursdays from 6-8. I have attached the menu. I must say Carribean Restuarant or otherwise, they do a pretty good job of supplying an interesting Drink Menu. They use a variety of Rums, and I say they make a good drink. If you have a date, I recommend you try one of their Martini's - Caramel Martini, Pina Colada Martini, or if you want to clear your sinuses with a kick try a drink with some Ginger in it :)
What makes Thursday a particularly good date night as well is half price apps (the wings do well, they have a good cajun dry rub). If you make it to about 8:30, the specials are done, but they have Live Entertainment that I would describe as good, not over the top loud, just nice mellow vibe. So, half price drinks, half price apps, and a calm vibe of Entertainment.
The other night to try is on a Saturday. They have a consistent party every Saturday - RnB, Soca, Reggae. DJ Smooth B and rotating DJs. They have these nice huge heat lamps outside as a summer bonus.
There are many options across Toronto, but if you compare the effort, Rum Diaries compares well. 3 things to look for music, atmosphere, and drinks. I strongly recommend you start with a Thursday first (take a date). If you like what they are doing there (I do), check it out on a Saturday.
Write back here what you think.
