  • Airport Lounge

    Blood-red walls, red lighting, and designer furniture make this one stylish place. Lounge here all you want with drink in hand – but be sure to sample the wonderful sushi.

  • Unwind at the end of a day’s shopping or wheeling-and-dealing as you linger over a cocktail or glass of crisp chardonnay in this chic bar. High people-watching factor (see Avenue).

  • Bedford Academy

    With 18 beers on tap, reasonably priced cocktails, TVs to catch the sports game, and a lovely patio in summer, it’s no wonder this place is popular with students from nearby University of Toronto.

  • Hang out with the locals and catch great music in this ornate yet very casual bar. Celebrities, including Prince, sometimes drop by (see Cameron House).

  • Sexy salsa gets your hips swaying as rum cocktails loosen you up (see Lula Lounge).

  • DJs come to this long, narrow room to spin jazz, hip-hop, and underground, every night except Sunday. Food served.

  • Not for acrophobics, this bar’s patios, on the 51st floor of the ManuLife Centre, are the city’s highest, offering spectacular views. Extensive cocktail list.

  • A hip crowd sips all manner of martinis to funk beats in this small candlelit room. Wall hangings and a domed ceiling lend a Middle Eastern flair. An enclosed “patio” at back adds a few more seats to this tiny spot.

  • Recline on a comfy sofa beside the fireplace while taking in the scene, including the Raw Bar peddling its oysters. Then check out the live music or art happening downstairs in the Underground.

  • Snag a seat on the 18th-floor terrace for the view, or savor the warm atmosphere inside while watching a master bartender at work (see The Roof Lounge).
