Best Cocktail Bars in York University Heights

The food is excellent but takes a while, even when the restaurant is slow. There was a subtle, pleasant fragrance to the place before it was crowded. Go before 8 if you prefer a quiet environment. It would be nice if they discouraged flash photography and had a minimal dress code to preserve the excellent ambience. There is a wonderful mix of seating options that is inclusive and disability friendly. The service was relaxed and warm, just a bit slow, but that may have been understaffing issues. We had reservations, but it took a while just to get in. The prices were a bit high, but the quality is high. Flavors, temperatures and textures were excellent. The only issue we had was that the bread under the steak tartar was overly firm, but that may have been because we had to wait a long while for silverware. I highly recommend it. The experience made our night.

The cocktails were quirky and delicious. Food was unique and everything had a special twist. Good for sharing as you want to try everything. Cat our server was fabulous. She explained the whole menu to us (which was helpful). She got as excited as we were when we chose our various cocktails. Thanks for a great evening!!!

Exceptional and friendly service in a fun and energetic environment. Love how the kitchen is open concept but not noisy at all. Aesthetic is clean lines and modern.

Amazing and unique experience akin to being in Scandinavia. The billowing smoke scent of cedar oil was a nice touch. I gave the food a 3 as there was actually no food but didn’t want to rank your rating.

I reached out ahead of going since my partner is a wheelchair user. While the bar isn’t accessible (step to get in, washroom downstairs), the staff responded quickly to let us know what the obstacles were and apologized for the inaccessibility. We decided to go anyways and the staff offered to help in anyway they could. They were ready at the door and offered to help lift my partner’s chair into the bar. Was really impressed by how helpful the team was :) The festive decor was so fun and the food and drinks were amazing!! Service was friendly and as quick as it could be considering how busy they were. Great experience :)
