Project Gigglewater was AMAZING! I came here for a date and the service was exceptional. This place has the most down-to-earth bartenders and servers that really elevate the experience. The lighting inside is intimate and the decor is beautiful ; truly a unique ambiance. We ordered the smash burgers, fries and lychee martinis. And the service was quick. It was the best smash burger I have ever had; the fries came with a really good sauce, and the martinis were so good we had to get 4 of them! This was truly a special night and I can’t wait to come back with my friends and family to this amazing place. I highly recommend this place for any occasion; whether it be a date, birthday, catchup with friends or a girl’s night.

Was still a bit snacky when I got here and tried their smash burger, which was actually pretty good. I also had their crispy fries which I understand has a 'special salt'. It did have a bit of a weird bitter aftertaste which I can't say was pleasant. They have a lot of interesting cocktails on their menu, and can only really try so many in one visit. I'd recommend this place even just to explore their variety of different drinks. I did try their Clear As Night cocktail. I think this was good. I'm not much for drinks that are too sweet, and this was fine for me.

I visited this bar on Friday night, February 14th, and was impressed by the overall ambiance. The atmosphere was inviting, creating a great setting for a night out. I ordered the DBL Burger, which had good flavor, though the bun and patty were slightly burnt. While it didn’t bother me too much since I was hungry, a better balance in texture would have elevated the experience. The cocktail selection stood out with its diverse range and creative takes on classic drinks. It was refreshing to see thoughtful improvisations that added a unique twist to familiar flavors. What truly set this place apart was the exceptional service. From the warm welcome at the door to the skilled and attentive bartenders, every staff member contributed to a top-notch experience. Their hospitality left a lasting impression.

Project Gigglewater is one of those places in Toronto that you look forward to coming back to (and bringing friends who haven’t been). Excellent drinks and the smash burgers hit the spot. Highly recommend! Pictured: a couple visits during the holidays.

Atmosphere is great. We came for the Christmas feel. It is admittedly very picturesque but hard to get into. We tried to walk in, and had to wait about 1.5-2 hours at a different bar down the street before we got a text to come back. Definitely make reservations in advance if you plan on going… Service was kinda slow. Didn’t get served for what felt like forever, and you only have an hour. By the time we had 1 drink and our cookies and ice cream, they had told us we were out of time and brought us the bill. Drinks were a bit too strong for our liking. Overall, not for us.

We visited Project Gigglewater for a date night and ordered an Oaxacan tamal and crispy fries. While the fries were tasty, they took quite a while to arrive. The 1-hour time limit also made us feel rushed. Unfortunately, the Oaxacan tamal didn’t stand out in terms of flavour. That said, we’d recommend the place primarily for its atmosphere - the dim lighting, colourful Christmas lights, and festive decorations made for a cozy and memorable holiday date.

We visited Project Giggle Water this past Saturday for an after-party to celebrate a milestone birthday, and it was the perfect spot. From my very first communication with the team, they were incredibly accommodating—helping us secure a large reservation and blocking off a series of tables for our group on a busy Saturday night at 11 PM. They were super flexible, even allowing us to confirm final numbers and arrival time the day of our event. The vibe at the bar is fantastic—fun, lively, and just the right energy for a celebration. The staff was amazing: friendly, attentive, and fast. The service was impressively quick, especially considering the beautifully crafted and complex drinks they serve. They even went the extra mile and offered to help us secure cupcakes for the event, which although we didn’t end up doing the offer of the extra touch was lovely. We couldn’t be happier with our choice to celebrate at Project Giggle Water and are already looking forward to our next visit!

These guys KNOW what they’re doing. I went here 2 days after my birthday and i swear they treated me more specially than any of the bday dinner spots i went to, COMBINED. Brendan and Fabian were AMAZING and spoiled us with surprises. We went there 30 mins earlier than our reso and they still found a way to accommodate us at a table and they provided the best service. Also for a snack-style bar, i was not expecting the food to be THAT good. The arancini was amazing and so were the smashed burgers and i am not someone that is usually into burgers so that says a lot. The prices were also very reasonable especially for Toronto, so this is definitely worth your money. Cocktails were so festive and so tasty, even their classic espresso martini had us sooo impressed. I would come back here again 1000000% bc of the service, affordability and food. Thank you guys!!!! You made our time SO special and i will never forget it!!! Please visit us so we can also take care of you 🥰🥰🥰

A really cozy bar with excellent cocktails and lots of variety. We made a last minute reservation for a Saturday night and got some spots at the bar. Loved the vibe! They also have some larger tables for groups. Highly recommend to grab drinks here before dinner around Ossington

Update: they added booths, new cocktails, and in my opinion the best smash burger in Toronto to their menu. I will be back.

Awesome cocktail bar! I wanted to start off by giving a shout-out to their service, they were amazing all around and I highly recommend them just for that, just for the care they show for their customers. Went on a busy Saturday night but was able to get seats within 30 minutes even without a reservation. It has a very nice aesthetic, with lower lighting. The have a bar with ample seating where you can match the bartenders do their magic. Their cocktail menu is quite extensive with some very creative options (Pho Get About It), but opted to go on the safer side for my first time. I ended up getting the Clear as Night, which had nice tropical vibes with a nice hint of ube. My table also got the chicarrones and guac which was excellent. Overall great hangout and date spot, I definitely do recommend reserving if you have a bigger group.

We made a reservation for Wednesday night (pretty quiet) as a group of 6. Upon sitting down, we were told there was a 90-min seating window and an auto-grat of 20% that will be applied to the bill at the end. The interior is cozy and tastefully decorated with emerald green booth seating and dim lighting. Near the entrance is a stand-up bar (no seating) where you can chat in a more casual setting and witness the bartender prepare your drinks. I came in with high expectations on the drinks since they are known for being a cocktail bar. I had the Grape Caipirinha (grape, cachaca, aromatized wine, lemon, citrust oleo) and Lemon Drop Martini. I thought both were just average and nothing extraordinary. My friends tried the lychee martini and brown butter wallbanger - again, tasty but not something we would specifically come back for. For food, we had the Big Mac Spring Rolls ($14 for 3), Tuna Tartare Crisps ($18 for 3), Crispy Fries ($11), and Popcorn Chicken ($14). The spring rolls were unique and surprisingly good, since normally I'm skeptical about foods with a fusion twist. Definitely get these if you only plan to try one food item. The tartare was bland and slightly citrusy despite the beautiful presentation. The fries have the exact crispiness I like and were quite salty, while the popcorn chicken smelled delicious (tasted great too), but was extremely small in portion. Everything was overpriced, as expected (with everything shared and split amongst our group, I essentially had 2 small pieces of chicken for $5, 1 spring roll for another $5, etc). Points for being flexible on splitting the bill though.

We love the pop up Christmas theme! It's a little outside of the downtown core which is NICE! There's not a huge line as with some of the other pop ups bars in the city. Great for a second date or beyond. Lots of seating by the bar but larger groups beware. Theres less room to accommodate larger groups(+5). The drinks are made strong and kitchen is open all night! We had the Brussels sprouts, fries and popcorn chicken. I would recommend the Brussels sprouts and chicken but the fries were a small portion and a little over salted. Our server was friendly and attentive. Keep in mind they do have an hour seat limit which helps keep the line moving. They also serve hot chocolate outside for people waiting in the cold, this is a nice personal touch.

My partner and I went here after a disappointing dinner. Suffice to say, this bar and their drinks salvaged the night. We went on a Thursday evening so it wasn't packed at all. Even if it was, they had extra tables and seats further inside. I got the toasty amaretto sour while my partner got the pretty little lychee. Both were excellent, sweet cocktails. I ended up getting a 2nd amaretto sour, which was apparently their most popular cocktail and deservingly so! I would've gotten a 3rd if we weren't in a rush. Service was great, fast, and friendly. We would come back again.

I came here with a friend after dinner on a Saturday evening. The entire bar was decked out in Christmas decorations. It was actually gorgeous. The atmosphere was lively and the bartenders and servers were all dressed in Christmas attire as well. There's a good amount of bar seating as well as table seating in the back. I highly recommend if you want to get some cute pictures and to enjoy the Christmas vibes. Unfortunately we were overcharged for our toffee cake and the server had to fix it. The washrooms are downstairs and inaccessible. Cocktail and drink prices were about on par with other bars in Toronto.

This slickly designed cocktail bar is definitely worth your time. I love the fact that they take reservations. The cocktails were quite good, as were the cheeseburger spring rolls. Service was also excellent.

A good local spot, did not feel overly curated. It has interesting unconventional drinks some that you may not expect like a pho flavored drink. The bar tending staff were really warm and exceptional and it feels like a local spot that has a welcoming but trendy atmosphere. Would come back for a cocktail some time soon for sure. Was easy to get a seat on a weeknight! Great date night spot or place to catch up with friends

Cute Christmas bar for the holiday season! I heard Project Gigglewater is now turned into a Christmas bar for the holiday season and I was so impressed! It's a small space with both table seating and bar seating available. Once entering, You can feel all the Christmas vibes. The restaurant is covered from head to toe with Christmas themes, the walls were wrapped in wrapping paper, ceilings had blinking lights and hanging ornaments, all the staff were dressed in holiday gear - super festive! The servers were all super friendly and helpful when choosing our drinks! All their holiday drinks on the menu are pre-mixed, so you're unable to ask for any virgin holiday drinks. We only know this since one person in my party wanted a virgin drink from the holiday menu but was unable to get one - bummer but understandable. The drinks were all so delicious and festive looking. Fries were BOMB! The toast with truffle butter came super burnt though, so all we tasted from the sourdough bread was burnt parts. Overall it was such a great time hanging out here with friends over festive drinks and a great vibe!

We went here in a group of 5 right after the Little Italy street festival, the day had been hot and tiring, and we were looking for a place to cool it off and have some drinks. Gigglewater was just perfect. The dim lighting, calming ambiance, and friendly servers created a relaxing space. The drinks (I ordered an Ube Bee) were great in flavour and were not watered down, which is appreciated. We ordered only the fries which were interestingly crunchy, I like them extra that way so a thumbs up for this. We didn't order more food so I don't have a review for the food yet but going by everything else I'm assuming it must be good too. Will definitely go back sometime.

Oh man! This place has such an amazing vibe, we visited during end Nov and the decor is all 'Christmas-themed'. We tried the HOT mulled wine, which was spicier than what I expected. There are amazing good options, the staff is very friendly.

My girlfriend and I had the best experience last Friday. We had Luke as our bartender/server who was very friendly and very talented making drinks. We ordered a few off the menu and then just requested some knowns one or told him spirits and flavours we like and he's make something up. They were ALL wonderful! They also have these interesting espresso/negroni shots to keep the night going which we really liked. We only tried one snack (it was more of a drinking night) but it was wonderful! We got a slider each and it was magic. The meat was cooked perfectly, the bun was tender. You have to get at least this when you go! I'll be back for sure.

Went here on accident trying to look for Extra burger, where actual good smash burgers are made. Anyways I notice their chalkboard advertising that they have Smash burgers, so I'm like "Ok, why not? Why not try someplace new." Worst idea ever. What I ate, was an insult to Smash burgers. First of all, for a smash burger brioche bun is a terrible choice of bun. Potato bun or Hokkaido milk buns would be a better come. Even egg buns... soft, small. Fitting for a 1cm beef patty. Picking a brioche bun for a smash burger sounds like some pretentious attempt at making your burger more posh by using a fancy bun. Second of all, the patty was wayyy to aggressively seasoned. It tasted like mounds of salt in every bite. For $9 for a single patty smash burger, I expected a lot more.

Great place for some drinks and food I was here for brunch and the pina colada soufflé pancakes were absolutely delish! Also enjoyed the La Bandida cocktail which was quite refreshing and tasty. Definitely worth a visit!

This place is awesome! Vincent is a cocktail master. The menu has a bunch of great drinks on it, or if you're feeling for something specific he can definitely make it for you. I always like getting the El Finablo, it's a light drink with a little bite. The bar is a little hard to find, which gives it that 'Speak Easy' vibe. Once you do find it, it's a super plush, relaxed classy atmosphere, with comfortable bar stools, and cozy tables. We've been here a couple of times, and always look forward to our next visit.

Great service. Good music and ambience. Very limited menu food wise FYI but that's not a bad thing. Just an FYI for others. Only disappoint was the hanger steak. The chorizo was delicious as were the cocktails!

Such a good find! Fantastic cocktails and food. The quality and attention to detail is impeccable. We love visiting during the week when it's a little quieter and we can chat with the owner. He's so passionate and knowledgeable, we always learn something new! The menu changes seasonally so we're never bored, and there is something for just about every palate. The interior is refined and the perfect place for a romantic evening. To me it feels like a hybrid of a NY speakeasy, an upscale Ginza cocktail bar and your favourite cozy local hangout.

Great cocktails and atmosphere, but bad service. Maybe it was just the one bartender, but my friend and I felt unwelcome as soon as we walked in. Would have liked to tried the rest of the cocktail list but went across the street to the many bars nearby instead as we didn't appreciate the comments.

Wow how this place has changed. The previous bar that was at this location was run down and grungy, but now it is high class and awesome. The new owner did a complete renovation of location and has created a beautiful speakeasy that you would want to bring anyone to. The front of the bar is all black with curtain blocking the windows, the only way to know you are at the right spot is the "G" above the door. You probably have walked by this place many times without knowing it. Once you get inside the dim lighting builds up the atmosphere to what you look for in a great speakeasy, but it is the drinks that the bartenders make that will make you want to come back. They are all knowledgeable and can create custom off the menu drinks for you. The price of the drinks range from $14 -$35 which is expensive but worth it when you see the work that goes into each drink. If there is a spot, I recommend trying to set at the bar and watch the bartenders work, it is remarkable.
