Nestled in Mile End, this vintage-inspired bar boasts cozy wooden seats and exposed brick, serving up brunch classics and inventive cocktails amid a lively ambiance.
"While Sparrow isn’t featuring a special Mother’s Day menu, its $33 tea-for-two would be a respectable treat for a special mother. In partnership with upstairs Cardinal Tea Room, the menu features two half cucumber, cheddar and Branston pickle or curried chicken salad sandwiches, two mini scones with jam, two mini quiches, two mini tomato tarts, slices of glazed lemon loaf or chocolate praline tart and 15 grams of loose leaf tea of your choice." - Amie Watson
"Mile End’s Sparrow has become well-known and loved for its greasy spoon-style brunch, creative cocktails, and rustic dining space. By day, the vintage-inspired bar is bursting with natural light thanks to the large, bay windows. But by night, expect cozy, candle-lit tables and just the right level of chit-chat." - Kaitlyn McInnis
"This Mile End favourite has many of the trappings of the perfect public cry spot: dark walls, comfortingly warm, woody tones, and a highly Instagrammable bathroom in which to take a selfie and capture that post-sob glow. But the best feature by far is the large mirror behind the bar. Pull up a seat and watch yourself cycle through the emotions — melancholy, distress, grief, hope, strength, self-assurance. You are the star of your own public breakdown." - Megan Jones
