One of my favourite spots in the city! The vibe is gothic Victorian living room meets eclectic bar, a feel that’s both cozy and intriguingly unconventional . It’s the perfect spot to drink with friends or just soak in the unique atmosphere. It’s also dog- friendly which is one of my favourite aspects of this place. They often host fun events, don’t forget to try a pickle back shot 🥃

really cool hole-in-the-wall bar !! this is the bar to be if you’re new to toronto. it is one of those places you can spend hours at because of the great atmosphere & bartenders. which btw are amazing, especially when it gets busy. they have a bar area when you first walk in, indoor sitting area with amazing lighting & lastly a patio outdoor area. this is a great place to go for cocktail parties with friends as they have lots of space at the back. bathrooms are clean, drinks are great & they allow doggos when not too busy! it tends to get very packed from thursday to the weekend. def visit if you haven’t already!

Was visiting from the U.S. and felt right at home! Patrons were friendly, and the bartenders Pete and Mike were amazing!! Visited 2 out of 3 nights while in Toronto.

I love this bar. Sweaty Betty's is an institution on ossington... Hole in the wall that's as comfortable as us anybody you ever been in any you know it's American city for sure. When my out-of-town New York friends come in.. This is the first bar I take them to probably when they want to go to something is very Toronto and something very eclectic. The bar is just spare.. there's a few tables around. The tops are always good full of craft beers and they know how to make a cocktail here and they know how to pour stiff drink. The staff is great and engaging and needs to talk to. I like to leave them alone when they're busy because they're doing their jobs. The back room is nice because it's like a living room or a den ... Cozy chairs , couches, or place to hold a cocktail party. I find it quite nice the whole place during the day when they open at 12:00 before it gets too busy because that place gets rammed on Thursdays and through the weekend. There's also a patio out back that's heated.. which is a great addition. I'll see you there.
