Toronto's Parkdale neighbourhood ranks high when it comes to nightlife. The area is home to an impressive assortment of watering holes, snack bars and live music venues that are popular destinations for drinking and dancing.
Here are my picks for the top 5 bars in Parkdale.
Shameful Tiki Room
Tiki culture is alive and well in Parkdale at both Miss Things and this dimly lit time warp of a bar where the soundtrack ranges from surf rock to rockabilly. The menu boasts massive punch bowls and Spam-infused snack foods.
Parts & Labour
The restaurant on the main floor is home to Matty Matheson's menu of cheeseburgers, beef tartare and brunch. But it's party central on the lower level as the basement bar plays host to live bands and DJs.
The Yukon
Buck-a-shuck oysters, theme nights and DJ'd house parties are regular occurrences at this low-key bar. The drink list is cheap with featured cocktails hovering around the $10 mark.
Pharmacy
This quirky and eclectic bar replaced a former pharmacy/methadone clinic on the southwestern edge of Parkdale. It's now a cozy space that serves craft beers and a broad selection of spirits.
Grand Electric
A rotating selection of beer and a lineup of excellent cocktails share the spotlight with a menu of tacos and Mexican snacks at this popular Parkdale bar. Margaritas, bourbonade and mojitos fuel the fun vibes.
