16 Best Bars in Toronto | Condé Nast Traveler

"Torontonians love to argue about which side of the downtown core is cooler, but the west side often gets the hot new developments and buzzworthy bars. So when The Broadview Hotel opened on the east side last year, it made waves—not just because it brought a historic Romanesque Revival building back to its former glory, but also because it introduced one of the best rooftop bars in the city. The funky midcentury interiors are comfortable and quirky, without overshadowing the staggering views of the skyline. Whimsical yet drinkable cocktails such as Becky With The Good Hair, a blend of vodka, orange and carrot juices, coconut water, lemon, allspice syrup, and charred rosemary, and The Canadian Tuxedo, a blend of Tanqueray 10, Tio Pepe Fino sherry, Sorry Not Sorry cordial, absinthe, green tea, and lime. There's also a modest wine list, but cocktails are really the way to go." - Todd Plummer
