"Communist’s Daughter is somewhat easy to miss considering the bar has kept the old signage for Nazare Snack Bar. However, the small sign in the window indicates that you have found Dundas West’s best and favourite hole in the wall bar. There is a small menu available and the drinks are fairly cheap. There’s a laid-back musical vibe to the place, the bartender switching out vinyls from a dusty record player. In the evenings you can often catch bands playing in the front window and there’s an amazing jukebox located at the back of the bar. The Communist’s Daughter is the place to go when you want to feel like you’re home." - Sovereign State
Small space, big vibes. This cozy Dundas West bar (aka the communists daughter) is a Toronto staple and a neighbourhood favourite. Occasional live music, great cocktails, and eclectic artwork lit by real candlelight, its vintage charm captures the spirit of a bygone era, evoking a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time.

My friends keep talking of that place and, man, it’s a vibe. Went there a midnight a Wednesday. Perfect quantity and vibe. Barman loves his job and clearly wants you to have a good experience. A random dude showed up and paid shots for the whole bar. That came with a lovely speech at like midnight.

I absolutely loved this bar. The Barman Michael is extremely welcoming and entertaining. i was there for the 'D-Side on the B -Side night. it was so much fun ! Michael runs The discussions and vote, on whether to play the B-side with much ceremony and pizzazz. Expect To learn something about the music being played. Thank you Michael. (James, 1 more Lager).

A true staple in my weekly life …
this Bar has brought me more laughs and more moments of clarity than anywhere else that I’ve been in the Toronto area and or the entire world as a whole.
This bar holds a special place in my heart and I encourage anybody with a vinyl interest to come on a Monday and explore what it’s really like to be part of an entire democracy. Viva la MLJ.

I can not believe this place has 1 star. It was sooooool fun!!!!!!! Amazing service. Amazing atmosphere. The live bad was chatting with us. The staff was chatting with us. No one rushed us. It was so much fun. We planned to stay for one beer and stayed the whole night. Honestly if you were offended I think this says more about you than the bar.

On Saturday they play live music from 4pm to 7pm. It has such a great atmosphere. A cozy feeling with exceptional musicians signing and performing to keep it entertaining.

This is a very small and cozy bar. When I went there on a Sun afternoon, it was packed because there was a jazz singer performing along with a violinist and a snare drummer.
I stood at the doorway and listened for a while.
