New bars in Toronto range from breweries to barcades to wine bars to pubs. Sophisticated or downright nitty gritty, these new places to wet your whistle excite with inventive drinks and dazzle with fun environments. Oh, and don't forget all the new snacks there are to try.
Here are my picks for the top new bars in Toronto by neighbourhood.
