Bars & Lounges

One of our favourite King West hot spots, Valdez, has a new night on their menu and we think you’re going to love it. And since we’re into putting our money where our mouth is (or at least our drinks where our mouth is), the Notable team is going to be checking out Drink Club on Thursday, April 17 – and we want you to join us

Things in Yaletown just got a lot more interesting (not like they weren’t already) with the recent opening of Kelowna-based Prohibition Brewing’s new standalone spot for sampling: Prohibition Tasting Bar

It’s hard to turn yourself around; to switch it up, shake it off, and slip into something new. And sometimes, in order to do it right, you’ve got to strip yourself to the bone and start all over again. This is what D.W. Alexander has done.

Since it opened last month, El Caballito has become an after-work hotspot for Toronto young professionals (YPs).

We’ve never been to a NYC cocktail bar in the 1930s, and sadly until our time machine is back up and running, we probably won’t manage to any time soon. Luckily, East Thirty-Six has just opened up in the financial district to offer us some old school New York flair and take care of all of our cocktail hour needs

The tiny, 350-square foot cottage at 5 Macpherson Avenue, on the border of Summerhill and Rosedale, is filled with smiling faces and, more importantly, some of the best juice in the city. Cold-pressed every night, each brightly coloured bottle you find stacked in the fridge at Greenhouse Juice Co. is ‘alive’ for only 72 hours

Burgundy Lion fans and devotees have a reason to celebrate. Why? Because the boys behind this cult-status pub in the heart of Little Burgundy have JUST opened their brand new venture, Bishop & Bagg, in the Mile End neighbourhood
