Paradise Grapevine is strongly contributing to my new love for the Bloor & Ossington area. There's lots of good bars and restaurants around the area, and Paradise Grapevine (PG) is one of the best.
First and foremost, PG is a wine & beer bar. If you're looking for inventive cocktails, you're better off going somewhere else. But, if it's wine that you're after, PG is it. Our server was INCREDIBLY knowledgeable about their offerings and took the time to SIT DOWN with us to go over the menu according to our wants and specifications. He made some great recommendations and our party was really happy with our selections.
PG is very unassuming from the outside. What you DON'T see at a glance is the patio at the rear. It's decorated marvellously with a pseudo-Bohemian feel and offers an impressive number of tables for those looking for a fun night out. The atmosphere isn't pretentious, but you'll never mistake PG for a dive bar either. It strikes a good balance.
It goes without saying, but I'll certainly be back.
