Always make it a point to stop by Lucky Strike and grab a drink. The vibes are great, plenty of space during the day. Service is wonderful. A staple bar in this area!

Cozy little bar with delicious drinks and a great patio in the summer. Service is always friendly! My only complaint would be the low ceilings in the bathroom, I hit my head quite hard upon my first visit, and my friend did the same two weeks later. The low hanging bulkhead is painted black so it’s very hard to see. Won’t stop me from going back, just need to remember to duck!

I will be transparent - I didn’t try any of the food or drinks here. I know it’s a very Toronto thing for some bartenders to be ‘too cool’ and non-chalant but this was some of the worst service I’ve ever had. We showed up to the bar and were waiting to be seated (the place was half empty) and one of the bartenders (who didn’t make eye contact once) just walked around us without acknowledging us or even saying hello. Bro proceeded to light a candle on the table, turn off a light switch behind us and walked back to the bar to serve someone else.

Despite the bar looking like a vibe I will never come back 👎🏽

I used to go all the time when I worked at Fonda Balam (RIP). The place is super cozy and, in my opinion, the perfect bar to hang out with friends, have a drink (they do not serve food), and chat. Plus, the service is amazing—one time, I lost my wallet there, and they returned it to me safe and sound (extra points for honesty, haha). Definitely one of my favorite spots. Highly recommend!

Booked a large birthday reservation (for free) and it was great! Staff were friendly, helpful, responsive, and accommodating. Drinks are good and reasonably priced.
