“ A lot of people are talking about how they find the drinks overpriced and not great. I disagree! Our first round we ordered a martini, mixed drink, and beer and paid 36 before tip. Paying on average 12 per drunk in Toronto is a very acceptable price. I love martinis and the bartender did a great job making them we ordered a few rounds. Everyone working there was fast and nice, it was nice to be in a queer place that was a little more mature. Those 25-40 would feel very comfortable. After 10pm there is only bar service, recommend coming before 9:30 on fri/sat if you want a table! ”
“ Easily one of the best queer bars in the city! The staff are well informed and welcoming. The drinks are delicious! It's a cocktail bar, so expect to pay cocktail bar prices. But the drinks are great, so totally worth it. As a trans lesbian, this has become one of my go-to date spots, as I know my date and I will always feel safe and welcome! (Also, did I mention the great cocktails?) ”
“ Honestly the best bar I’ve danced at! Everyone made me feel so wonderful, and I was a bit constant at the bar and the bartenders were the kindest people ever!! I super recommend coming here!! Will be back ”
“ Cutest little back patio! Rented this out for a private event on a Friday and it was perfect! Everyone here is so lovely! ”
“ A companion and I came here on Saturday night after attending an event down the street. We wanted a place where we could feel safe to be ourselves and also have a drink. It was about 10pm or so. There was no cover, the two folks working the bar Adam and one with tattoos and glasses were so sweet and welcoming. We never felt pressured to order more drinks, they were fine with us conversing and sipping on water after we had purchased drinks. The drinks were made properly, the price was very reasonable and the venue was just perfect to hang out and be. It did busier later on the night but they were fine with us moving to the back. Thank you for providing a safe space for us to just be and enjoy the rest of our night. This queer bar is everything you’d want. I don’t understand the other reviews about the drinks and price and attitude from the bartenders, because everything was beyond great! ”
“ Their cocktail was amazing and exotic. The bartenders know their stuffs! They are also very welcoming and made me feel like home :) If you happen to be here, do try this particular cocktail with maraschino. I loved it! ”
“ A super chill and fun bar! Stopped by Three Dollar Bill on a bar crawl. It's a smaller bar, but the atmosphere and people are great. We even came back at the end of the night because the vibes were just immaculate. ”
