A special shout-out to Amy for making our night even more special. She was attentive, friendly, and gave excellent recommendations that really elevated the whole experience. I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for top notch drinks and service. Can’t wait to return!

This place was very interesting! It felt exclusive because of how low key it is. Dark and moody describes the look of this place. The drinks were fantastic and the service was top notch. Our server noticed every time we were low on drinks/water and came immediately. I really liked it here

So after the fun of giving the password and entering thru the “secret” door you enter an intimate lounge area.Small number of tables and some bar seating. Staff are friendly and welcoming.  Helpful with menu and answering questions. Drinks menu is fun. Japanese inspired cocktails and drinks that are well presented. Some whiskey flights of whiskies not typically available in Ontario. Small selection of bar snacks to accompany your drink. Bartender is knowledgeable and helpful. When full can get a bit noisy but still able to have conversation. Fun place for a drink.

Hidden within Kome Yogurt, After Seven offers a secretive entrance that sets the tone for an intimate experience. We waited at the concealed door before stepping into a dimly lit, moody space with a sleek ambiance. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable, but the overall atmosphere felt somewhat restrictive.

While the menu offered a wide selection, we opted for a custom cocktail tailored to our preferences—something fruity with a bold alcoholic presence. This spot seems best suited for those who have a clear understanding of their flavor preferences, as the experience is highly personalized.

To fully immerse in the setting, a livelier atmosphere with more engaging music would enhance the overall vibe.

Really cool speakeasy. You ring the doorbell on the vending machine in the yogurt place. HIGHLY RECOMMEND A SEAT AT THE BAR. It's fun to watch the bartenders make drinks. There was a wasabi drink and tetsu drink (tastes like a strawberry cheesecake) which I highly recommend. Just note this place is mainly for drinks and won't have any food besides appetizers. I wouldn't bother with the appetizers either. I ordered some cheese and crackers one and I just felt dissatisfied.

not only do their drinks taste DELICIOUS, the employees were also AMAZING!!! starting off with the atmosphere, it feels nice and sophisticated. it also is a very intimate speakeasy. the drinks are also sooo good! the left one is the (limited) kiwi crème glacée; although it has tomato and celery, you can barely even taste it because of how it is clarified. the kiwi flavor is really prominent as well. the right (short) drink is the ghibli elixir; it tastes like a melona ice cream bar with a kick of pandan at the end! lastly, the employees... literally some of the best employees ive ever encountered! i went on 6/12/25 around 11pm and the people working really cared for the customers, especially when i had lots of questions lol i didn't get their names so i can't specifically shout them out, but there was an asian girl and a tall white guy (who is the manager) who were so lovely... so shoutout to them (you know who you are!!!)

This speakeasy bar is hidden behind an ice cream shop. My friend made reservation and the lady in the front let us in through the "vending machine". All the drinks are nicely designed. The mixologist did a great job and he was very very friendly. We as a group of 5 had a great time. Definitely will go back for more tasty cocktails.

Decent Japanese-inspired "speakeasy" bar behind a yogurt drink spot (putting "speakeasy" in quotes because you can technically see into the windows from the outside lol). You enter through Kome Yogurt. My boyfriend and I joined the waitlist at 7:50 PM on a Friday (you can join remotely) and were seated after about 30 mins. We tried the greenhouse, Black benne, Ghibli elixir, and Curry colada. Not the most incredible cocktails, but all were super tasty and the bar has a fun vibe.

Loveeee the drinks here. Would come here often if I lived closer. I like their fruity drinks and the ghibli elixir is a crowd favourite amongst my group. It's really cozy inside with a few small round tables, a small standing area and some bar seats. Must reserve if you want to come here. I recommend this place to all cocktail lovers!

Amazing cocktails, my favorite is the strawberry tetsu and I will always come back for it! The service is very attentive and patient. The ambiance is great, suitable for dates, or small group gatherings to chat! Love it.

A fun, Asian-inspired speakeasy! The inside of the establishment is dimly lit, with gold and green decor, and a chill ambiance. The bartender was super sweet, friendly, and helped my friend make a drink based off of the flavor profiles that she likes. Here, you scan a QR code to view the menu and order with a server; they have fun cocktails, classic drinks, and some small bites to enjoy. After much decision (as so many drinks seemed good), I decided to go with the matcha snickers, which combined barley shochu, dark chocolate, peanut butter, and matcha. It was delicious and a fairly strong drink (21% ABV). Would love to come back here to try some of their other cocktails!

Wow the cocktails here are uber delicious! I'm a big fan of speakeasies and this spot was a fun one to figure out how to get inside. I had a couple cocktails, including the Ginza Glow, and everything was unique and tasty. This is one of those places you wish you could just try every single drink. I've only been to a handful of bars in Toronto but I'd have to say this one was the best experience!

It's a small space but I very much enjoyed the ambience, drinks, feeling of a hidden speakeasy! If I lived nearby, I'd frequent the space for small hangouts. Having to use a secret password to use was exciting and made me a bit nervous to say and entering through a hidden door is always fun. For food and drinks, I'll start with the bad. The free mixed nuts is free for a reason; it was stale but I guess, something to much on while you drink and hang. I ordered the old boy which came with a cheese skirt cracker and both were delicious! They also have some non alcoholic options if you ask nicely but I do wish they had more NA selections. I would try everything on the menu if I could! "can I order a number 8?"

Found this on TikTok and definitely a place I recommend! Such a unique speakeasy, we had a longer wait but for sure recommend others to reserve in advance. I have no notes for this place. There is limited seating so not great for large group outing. We got squeezed into a standing table. The drinks were some of the best cocktails I have ever tried. There drinks are so unique and well crafted. The drink I had tasted like a strawberry milkshake and so cool it had cheese foam. I tried this on vacation and would definitely visit on my next trip

A fun experience with the thrill of secrecy. It was my first time at a speakeasy and it was super fun going through the hidden door and finding this small but cozy space to enjoy some cocktails. The cocktails itself were different from the usual and very good, but I feel like it lacked in food options . I went on an empty stomach thinking I'll get some snacks while I drink, but there was not much. Service was fast and attentive but it expected for the size of the venue. The whiskey/chocolate pairing was a bit odd, they were both good but neither made the other one better or worse.
