Bar Pompette

Amazing spot! We sat at the bar and the staff was great. The OG Paloma was delicious but the birria style cocktail was so unique and great. We were over the dill pickle martini by the end but it tasted good.

One of the best cocktails + bar food I've had in North America outside of NYC. Top-notch mixology concept, subtle flavors, and nothing too overpowering. If you like places like Angel's Share & DCP in NYC, you're in heaven here considering the decent availability and price. The grilled cheese completely blew my mind too. I've never had a cheese with such mellow, milky flavor, for lack of better words to describe the sensation. Bar Pompette has officially become THE reason I would consider moving to Toronto.

I’ve been to many bars all over the world but this has to be one of the best, most friendly and accommodating places I’ve visited in a long while. The atmosphere, the drinks, the craftsmanship are all top tied. Special thanks to Mateo for his skills and helping create awesome memories through unforgettable cocktails.

Bar Pompette absolutely lives up to its title as one of North America’s Top 50 Bars! What I loved most is how unpretentious it felt, no reservations, just walk in like it’s your neighborhood favorite. First come, first served. Watching the bartenders here is a show in itself, every pour, every cube of ice is placed with such precision and care. The drinks? Immaculate. I’m all about clean, crisp, light cocktails, and they nail it here every time. No sugar bombs, no hangovers, just beautifully balanced drinks you can sip all night. The cozy back patio is a hidden gem, perfect for date night or a fun cocktail crawl with friends (yes, you’ll want to try 5 or 6 drinks, they’re that good). The vibe is intimate yet lively, and I already can’t wait to come back. Bar Pompette, you’ve won me over. 🍸✨

had an exceptional cocktail experience at Bar Pompette. drinks we had were well crafted with precision and creativity. The flavors were well-balanced and clearly the result of thoughtful mixology. should try if you are around Little Italy area

Surprised there aren’t more reviews. Delicious cocktails, though very loud on the weekend My most liked to least: - 11am in marseille, very unique and subtle licorice/fennel seed flavor. This is the only drink I’d get again. Doesn’t taste alcoholic at all. Slightly nutty - figalo, refreshing fizzy drink, barely taste like alcohol - Paloma, tastes like smoked salmon - nitro colada, tastes like a refreshingly smooth pina colada - pandor, strong but yummy pandan aftertaste - breakfast at Tommy’s, tasted like tequila with lime and soda, not very unique to me. I remember there was a hint of cilantro and it was intended to taste like birria tacos but I wasn’t able to taste that

Canada’s #1 bar and one of the top 50 bars in the world was an absolute joy with creative and tasty cocktails, the best friendly and attentive service and, eh, I just loved their bread ( from their nearby bakery). I especially loved the Cornichon martini and the GOLDEN LIGHT cocktail featuring Wild fennel, bee pollen, pisco, honey jasmine cordial, lemon Can’t recommend this place enough!!!

Atmosphere: 7.5/10 Little Italy. A very typical neighborhood vibe, matched by a straightforward bar layout—plenty of counter seating and tables for groups. It doesn’t immediately stand out design-wise, but the backbar is impressively stocked. Music has a funky edge but stays at a pleasant volume for conversation. Drinks: 8.5/10 Recommendation: Cocktail de Paris Menu design is a highlight: sophisticated, easy to follow, with clear ingredient descriptions and playful illustrations matched to each drink. High-quality glassware, unique coasters, and minimalist garnish and presentation. The drink list leans creative, with fun names and thoughtful combinations. Cocktail de Paris was excellent—well-balanced and satisfying. Oh La Vache #3 didn’t land as cleanly, coming off a bit unbalanced. Service: 8.5/10 Water on arrival, highly attentive and professional team. Pricing is a bit above average for Toronto, but service is polished and smooth.

Ordered: Nitro Colada (~CAD$20): pineapple, coconut, curry leaf falernum, white rum, nitrogen Pursuit of Hoppyness (~CAD$12): non-alcoholic; passionfruit, yuzu, tonic, sencha, citra hops Aya's take: Bar Pompette made it to #29 on North America's 50 Best Bars 2024 list and we decided to give it a try while we were in town. Only 3 bars on the list are in Toronto and I'm so glad we happen to be close to Bar Pompette. The ambiance is really cool; classic vibe with some retro art and books throughout. The Nitro Colada (~CAD$20) is by far one of the best crafted and most unique cocktails I've ever had. This is one of the first times I can say the price is actually well-justified! The Nitro Colada is light, creamy, and silky. It's like drinking a cloud - I don't know how else to explain it. If they sold that by the bottle, I would buy it. The Pursuit of Hoppyness was pretty solid and can be made alcoholic, as well. It didn't really stand out to me too much in terms of taste but I'm a fan of passionfruit so I knew I couldn't go wrong. If you're in Toronto, definitely come to Bar Pompette and definitely get the Nitro Colada!

I went to this bar based on all the hype online. It's a small knit place with limited seating, but very cozy nonetheless. We sat at the bar, because I find you get the best experience when you watch the mixologists do their work. The drinks were good, the people sitting next to us were obnoxiously loud (I get it's a bar and all). The espresso martini = 10/10

Bar Pompette is a must - go! I'm from Vegas & have been to many cocktail bars. We were at Bar Raval and it wasn't our vibe so we found this area that had a lot of great reviews about their drinks. This is the best cocktail bar we've been to!! Not only are the cocktails delicious but they're different & unique. There's something for everyone which is nice. It's strictly a cocktail bar so no food or anything else to be expected. Nick is the bartender and he is super knowledgeable and friendly. I went to the restroom and saw my cocktail was gone. He put my cocktail in the fridge so it wouldn't get warm - service is just top notch! Would highly recommend this place any night you're free! This place opened in 2022 so fairly new but it's definitely a local bar. However, it's only a 10-15 min uber ride and totally worth it!

We stopped here for a cocktail after dinner. From the street, this place definitely looks cute. But once you step inside... it gets even cuter. BUT! go enjoy your cocktail on their back patio. It was literally the most charming patio I've seen in a while. Okay so besides the ambiance, they have a cocktail menu with many different, unique cocktails. We had a hard time choosing. We finally found some cocktail and placed our order. The service was amazing as well. If you're looking for a cozy spot to enjoy a cocktail, check this place out! They also have outdoor heaters in the patio around for when the weather gets cooler.

Bar Pompette is a gorgeous French cocktail bar with the coziest back patio. Surrounded by tall walls and gigantic fairy-light lined trees, stepping out the back makes you feel like you've stumbled into an intimate secret, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The cocktails were all fantastic. We tried most of the drinks on the menu that night and they were all top tier. One of the standouts is the silky Nitro Colada, a beautifully executed elevated Pina Colada. 11 am in Marseille was also phenomenal. The service was very professional and courteous. The small bites were delicious. This is the perfect date spot to take someone you really like. Highly recommend.

This is a fantastic cocktail bar right in Little Italy! Amazing drinks selection, all curated with unique flavours and ingredients. They have snacks you can order as well - I had the ricotta which came with bread and was super tasty. Wish I took photos of the drinks! I tried the Hive Mind, the Paloma Quemada, and the Peat and Pit. They were all super tasty but the Paloma was definitely memorable and had a really nice blend of flavours. Service was lovely and friendly too. I'll definitely be back and would highly recommend!

There must be an inside joke somewhere about the name being replaced by pompous :) We liked the location and the patio so we tried it. Couldn't get out fast enough. The cocktails come in sample size glasses. The flatbread that says it has smoked eggplant, is actually a pita bread with a brown sauce on it and THAT is all the "Aubergine" that you're getting. The staff with their exaggerated french accents, although friendly, judge you if you just get drinks and appetisers but it's fine, because Casa Paco is right across the street and I rather take my money and appetite there

Tasted great, perfect balance of tart, honey and fizziness. Topped with elder flowers. Good place to go to after a night at The Royal (right across) or their sister restaurant Pompette (great French cuisine) right around the corner.

Felt like I was in one of my neighbourhood watering holes in Paris - great ambiance. Drinks were solid and the bartender was so engaging. Loved our time there.
