Rhum Corner - Review - Trinity Bellwoods - Toronto - The Infatuation

"This Haitian bar pours Antillean cocktails like rhum punch and pina coladas.: boozy, bold, and no BS. Shelves brim with homemade tinctures and rare rhums, so you can sip on a jungle bird while you knock back some crisp-tender, warmly-spiced Akra fritters (don’t skip the scotch bonnet hot sauce and side pikliz). Then comes the rich oxtail in bean sauce, so layered and comforting in meaty, earthy flavors and warm biting spice that it almost feels like a Caribbean answer to lasagna. And for a true taste of Port-au-Prince, go whole fried fish, crackling and flaky enough to make Long John Silver toss the anchor and order one himself." - Erin Hershberg

I had the absolute best experience at Rhum Corner. The food was 10/10, the ambience was 10/10 and the service was 10/10. My partner is Haitian and he mentioned it felt like food from back home. The pickeli went well with every meal I had to buy a jar to bring home! Great experience, will be coming back again

The yummiest food and vibey restaurant located on Dundas st west, close to trinity bellwoods. We ordered the accra, Mac and cheese, Haitian spaghetti, fried fish plate, ginger beer and a piña colada. The food was fresh, flavourful and the quality did not miss. The accra was a standout!! The service was great and our server made sure to provide thoughtful information as we were ordering. Overall, the food, service and ambiance of rhum corner was nothing short but amazing and I will be back again.

We spent $162 USD for three people, and it was absolutely worth it! The service was attentive and welcoming, and the food was even better. I really enjoyed my experience and would love to dine here every day during my stay! 😄

The Rhum Corner in Toronto is a standout spot that brings bold Caribbean energy and serious flavour to the city’s dining scene. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels vibrant yet intimate, with warm lighting, tropical accents, and a lively buzz that sets the tone for a great night out. The food is the real highlight here—rich, comforting, and packed with depth. Caribbean-inspired dishes are executed beautifully, with slow-cooked meats, perfectly spiced sauces, and generous portions that feel both elevated and soulful. As the name suggests, the rum selection is exceptional. With an extensive list of rums from across the Caribbean, there’s something for both seasoned rum lovers and curious newcomers. The cocktails are especially impressive—well-balanced, creative, and designed to let the rum shine rather than overpower it. Service is friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive without being intrusive, adding to the overall experience. The Rhum Corner is the kind of place that works equally well for a date night, a group dinner, or a relaxed evening of great food and drinks. It’s flavorful, fun, and unapologetically bold—a must-visit for anyone looking to experience Caribbean cuisine and culture right in the heart of Toronto.

Rhum Corner NEVER misses!!! I came here with my boyfriend for our anniversary, and as always, everything was perfect. We ordered the oxtail with rice and beans and the fried chicken with macaroni. Honestly, I can’t come to Rhum Corner without ordering the oxtail. It’s always so tender and so flavorful. I swear I could eat it every single day and never get tired of it. The fried chicken was perfectly seasoned and juicy, and the macaroni is just perfect. And I have to mention the pikliz, I swear they need to start selling it on its own because I could eat it by the jar by itself. The perfect mix of heat, crunch, and tang I just love it so much lol I also ordered the Painkiller, which was soo good. Sweet, creamy, and dangerously easy to drink. The food, the drinks, the atmosphere, the service … everything about this place is just incredible. You can taste the care and love that goes into everything they make. Rhum Corner is one of those restaurants that just gets it right every single time and that’s why I’ll keep coming back 😌

10/10. I’ve been wanting to try Rhum Corner for a while now (everything Jen Agg creates is gold so my expectations were already high). We went here for dinner after a few beverages at Cocktail Bar across the street (a sister spot to Rhum/Vendetta). We started with the Salt Cod Patties and knew we were in for a great dinner. We followed with the salad, the griot (holy this is fantastic), the oxtail and a few red stripes. By then we were so full (we had a few other food stops earlier) so we got the fried chicken with rice and beans + 2 more salt cod patties to go. The fried chicken was some of the best I’ve had and I could eat a mountain of the rice and beans. What a fantastic menu, great portions and so much flavour. Can’t forget the pikliz!! We piled that on every bite and even bought a jar to take home. So much flavour and spice. Do yourself a favour and try this place out. Incredible food, reasonable prices, big portions! What’s not to love?

Is this a bar that also serves Haitian food or a Haitian restaurant that's also a bar? With the crowd and music at 11pm, it was definitely the former, and the abundance of bar seats leads me to suspect this is also the case earlier in the day. Philosophical questions aside, I got the Macaroni au gratin & street style griot. Street style meant the griot came with plantains. It was huge for a "snack". The pork was crispy & tasty. It was a good cut - tender but still with some sweet fat. The plantains were smashed & fried, so they were super crispy & had some flavorful seasoning too. There was also grilled onions & peppers, which were also very tasty. The macaroni was rich with a crispy topping & a creamy, cheesey sauce. It used macaroni & penne which was nice variety. Relatively speaking it wasn't as big as the griot. You get a free flow of spicy pickled cabbage. It's crisp but pretty spicy. It was my first time trying ting, which was delicious. Oddly it came in a glass, not bottle. The washroom had a strong vanilla bean scent, and half nude bodies, which was odd.

It's Friday night and it's a happening place here. My daughter suggested Haitian food and I was all in. While we waited for a table we sat at the bar and shared Rhum punch. I've never experienced this before but it was pre-made in what appeared to be a 12 oz brown bottle. Two drinks were partially poured into glasses each containing a large cube of ice. Fresh nutmeg was grated finely on the drinks. It was a unique taste for me. Didn't seem to have a lot of alcohol but was certainly refreshing. Had Griot as an appetizer. Never heard of it before but in part contained plantains and pork. Also had a cashew chicken dish and fried chicken. It wouldn't do it justice to explain the flavors of these dishes but suffice it to say you have to sample this to appreciate it. This is a bar/restaurant ananda where we were seated in the back was loud in nature but we made do. I would recommend visiting as where I'm from I've never come across it. It's relatively small inside and on the dark side. Service was good. They were pretty attentive.

Definitely enjoyed this spot. Was pleasantly surprised by how much they could pack into this small space. But not sure if they have different head chefs on different nights? First went on a weekend and was blown away by the food. The highlight was definitely the griot - which to me seemed like cuts of pork marinated in citrus flavors and perfectly grilled, with a side of plantains shaped into flat patties. The pork was so flavorful and juicy, and the plantains were a satisfying side. The mac and cheese was also as good as any I've had in the southern US. However we went again on a weeknight and the food was solid but not amazing this time. The pork seemed overcooked and the flavors weren't as strong, although the plantains still came out great. And this time the mac and cheese tasted more like something I could make at home with a bit of effort. The ambience definitely makes up for any missteps. The front part is a bar with people milling around and talking while the back is the restaurant with very limited seating, no reservations. Open kitchen concept. The music is loud and fun. Great drinks menu too - I really enjoyed the red stripe beers. Highly recommended.

Went here for my birthday dinner with two friends at 6:30 on a Friday and got seated immediately. 90% of the cocktails are rum based and really tasty. I got the painkiller and jungle bird. The food can be pretty spicy but so very tasty. We got the salt cod patty, ceviche, and cashew chicken. The patty is spicy and if you want to add a little extra spice to it their pickled relish is so good. The ceviche is also really tasty but tasted a little fishy. And the cashew chicken was tasty. All 3 dishes were enough food for 3 people. I would definitely go back again and try their oxtail dish as well.

Food was awesome, shared the Griot bowl, fried chicken w/macaroni and cheese. Excellent flavors, highly recommend this combo. For drinks we had a jungle bird, painkiller, and daiquiris w/house rum. Normally I wouldn't order a daiquiri because I favor mine so much, but these were spot on!

Came here for a quick drink and was not disappointed; everything was delicious. They have a huge variety of rum (and only rum) from so many different countries, and plenty of classic cocktails made with rum instead of the classic spirits, which was a great twist. Food smelled amazing too, I will be back to eat!

The Rhum Corner was a great overall experience. If you want a good cocktail and great atmosphere you've definitely come to the right place. The space is is decorated with murals/ art which creates the island vibe in the middle of Toronto. The wait staff were very delightful. We sat in the bar area, and chatted for a bit about our lives and the things that are fun to do in The city. Great group of people. The food was just as amazing. We order a bunch of bites as well as plates. The griot, macaroni au gratin, fried chicken (only served on the weekend I think). I'd really recommend the macaroni as it was beyond flavorful. Spicy, tangy, and just all around hearty. I can't remember what the drink was but it was a phenomenal shareable. Can't wait to stop by again.

I like dark rum and have passed by Rhum Corner many times ... this evening we stopped in to check it out. We sat at the bar. To try a variety of rums, we ordered flights ... you get a half ounce of each rum. We started with Kal's flight as he was our bartender. He was friendly and definitely knowledgeable about rum. We liked his recommendations ... they had a bold taste. Then we tried Julia's flight. We liked Julia's ... they were smooth but not as bold-tasting as Kal's. It was fun to try the different rums this way as we could actually taste them since they weren't masked by pop. And it's a good way to check out higher-end rums than we usually drink. We'll stop in and do other tastings sometime.

Delicious cocktails! The Jungle Bird had sweetness from the pineapple, but was still well balanced and so pretty. The Golden Hour had a bit of spice from the ginger. My bf got a rum old fashioned which tasted just how you'd imagine. For food, I got a flaky patty with salted cod inside. We also got 2 pieces of crispy, flavourful and juicy fried chicken. The oxtail was rich and filling. They give a side that looks like coleslaw - beware, it is spicy af (even for my spice-loving bf). Still tasty to nibble on though. They don't take reservations, but if you get there early it's fairly easy to get a table. Their patio is cute with umbrellas to shade you. The service was attentive and friendly. Washrooms were gender neutral. At the time I went, indoor dining wasn't allowed, but during my trip to the washroom I could see the decor inside was cozy yet stylish! Overall a great vibe and great experience.

Saturday night at Rhum Corner was a delight. I had just read owner Jen Agg's fantastic book and was inspired to try the cocktails and Haitian menu. Entertained by anti-vaxx protesters while we munched on fried chicken and pork shoulder, Ms. Agg joined the patio and her diners as she weathered the abuse with grace and dignity. Her staff were warm and friendly as they too manoeuvred through the chaos. My water glass was never empty and my cocktails were icy cold. We'll be back and most likely with friends.

Nice cozy spot with limited seating and nice vibes/music. Had the spiced rhum and ginger ($10) which was a tasty cocktail. Also tried the oxtail dish which was cooked well and served with rice and some kind of gravy. They had a jar of coleslaw on the table - it had a nice spicy kick to it, and was on the vinegary side.

Cute place for cocktails and snacks. I liked their zombie cocktail for two but it came in one girly glass to share. It's more like one super strong drink for one rather than for two! It's hard to share and there isnt enough volume. The negroni was unique as well. I tried their salty cod patty. It's more like a fried dumpling with spicy potato and super salty cod filly. Strange but I ate it anyway because I was getting super tipsy and needed some substance. I wouldn't order it again. Place wasn't full but was at 3/4 capacity when we went out late on a Sat night. I'd check out their drinks!

Came here for some pre-drinks before dinner with a few friends. Luckily we managed to get seating at the bar for all of us. This place is tiny - bordering on claustrophobic for me - I felt squished in. It's dark, it's cozy and it's lively and loud here! You want to try and discover new rums? Come here! You want to get some knowledge about rums? Come here! Basically I think everyone should check this place out with the intention of trying out some new brands. Once you've had a good quality rum you will never go back to the cheap stuff. It goes down smooth, like velvet...instead of a 3rd degree burn. The service as many others have mentioned is a bit lackluster. I know they are busy but we waited awhile for our bill, even asking for it twice. Since we were on a time crunch and had dinner reservations we ended up going to the back to pay at the small counter. I'd go back in the summer, maybe at an off peak time when it isn't so slammed to try some more of their libations.

So I was in Toronto for about a week and had tried so many different spots and types of foods. On my last day, this is where I went..... BEST DECISION EVER!!! I walked about 40 minutes here from my hotel (didn't know any better). But glad I burned some of the calories I was about to ingest! The setting is really nice. I'm Haitian and I was really happy to see a place that kept the integrity of our culture and was still able to share it with others in a way they can enjoy! I walked in and Haitian music was being blasted, drinks were being served, people were talking having a blast, and eating amazing food. The first thing I ordered was a drink. I got the Spiced Rum + Ginger. That was really good. For a bar/restaurant, it's nice to have a place that has really tasty but strong drinks! After that I ordered the griot as an appetizer. I loved it! It was extremely moist, which can be hard to do with griot. It was a little bit on the salty side, but still very enjoyable. They had little jars of piklíz all over the place. And I loved it! To see and eat, haha. To go, I got the boulette entre (seasoned meatballs). Usually, they are fried and this was the first time I had them in sauce. It was a surprise to me when I opened the box. But man! I'm glad I went with it cause boy was it good! I loved that they also had their own hot sauces. I bought 3 bottles to go just because they were so good and hot! It's like piklíz in a bottle. On top of the great food, my server was also amazing! Very knowledgeable, friendly, and patient! I don't remember her name, but it was cool they hired someone very familiar with the culture. I highly recommend this place. If you live in Toronto or are there for a visit, it's a really nice place to go.

One thing Jen Agg does super, super well is washrooms. Rhum Corner's washrooms somehow smelled like coconuts. They are always beautiful, and well designed. We were randomly walking by, and I've had this place on my list for a while. I usually really like Agg's restaurants. Black Hoof and Cocktail Bar are both great, but I am a Grey Gardens hater, sadly. I was hopeful, though, since the concept is so unlike anything else in Toronto. First of all, the music was amazing. I would stay and sit here, drink a slushie and listen to the music, all day. We ended up sitting facing the street because the rest of the restaurant was incredibly warm (yay for summer!). Service was really good, my server was really good about my hatred of cilantro, and helped me navigate the dishes and also made sure to let me know when he dropped the plates so that I wouldn't feel nervous. Also, I made a stupid order and he helped me out so I wouldn't get 20000 bananes frites. The drinks, as always with Agg, were the star. OMG so good, strong, well thought out, matched well with the dishes. YUM. We both enjoyed the food, but I'm not sure if I would rush back for it, whereas I would definitely rush back for the drinks and then happen to order a dish or two to accompany them. All in all, so unique to Toronto and that alone makes it a gem.

We were looking to close out a pretty fantastic night with a quick drink and a snack, and Rhum Corner was right there, so... We walked in and the place was maybe half full, but we were able to snag a table at the back without a problem. We decided to try a couple of things: Accra fritters. This included five fritters and a dipping sauce, and it was quite good. The flavor of the fritters themselves was a little one-note and maybe too salty, but when dipped in that sauce, it actually turned into a pretty tasty little snack. We also got a dessert that isn't in the online menu, but was essentially a bread pudding made with sweet potato and raisins. It doesn't sound like it should work, and indeed the taste is quite strong and hardly sweet at all, but when eaten with the accompanying sauce and cream, it's actually quite an enjoyable dessert. Finally, we decided to share one of their made-for-two cocktails, the Zombie ("so many ingredients... dangerously delicious"). It's smaller than we were expecting, but it's definitely quite tasty. All in all, Rhum Corner is a very cool, very casual little place. I could definitely see it become a hangout if I lived in the neighborhood.

2.8/5 Little over due review but i hope my two cents will help other yelpers. Love the vibe and love ppl who works there but I just can't get pass the fact how SWEET their food is. I been here four times ever since they opened right next to black hood(RIP), everything on the menu had been unnecessary sweet for some unknown reason. If any one who has been exposed to any kind of Carribean food, they know not everything should be sweet like what Rhum Corner is serving. One or two dishes, I get it. Some ppl prefer sweeter taste in certain dishes but every dishes I tried in their menu has been always tad too sweet. Good for a sweet snack to have with their drinks but won't recommend for full dinner unless if you are into sweeter food. Drinks are always great. I got not much to say. They are typical Queen West strength but can be little strong for some ppl so order with caution if you are light weight. Vibe is cozy hip Carribean bar atmosphere in a possitive way. Last time I checked, they didn't have AC. So it gets pretty dead hot in summer. Will definitely recommend to check it out in winter time. Will I go back ? Not sure.. if I'm around the neighborhood and cocktail bar is packed, maybe Yes but won't make a separate trip to go here.

My first time at this tropical destination was last Saturday. It's very festive. Fun music playing and a lot of atmosphere. The drinks were also fun with rum punches, tipols and cocktails served in those wee ceramic cups. Only stumbling block was some of the food. The conch fritters were a wee bit dry but maybe this is the traditional way that they are served????

This place is awesome. I've come here a few times and it's always pretty decent 4.5/5. I'd say it gets extremely loud and packed. Not always easy to find a seat. And to be honest falls into the category of being obnoxiously loud. Though it's a great vibe...bad place for a date or to meet friends if you actually wanna catch up. The drinks are on point.

I was recently here for a solo dinner at the bar. I got the cashew chicken, which came with rice and beans. It was tasty and filling, although it tasted more like home-cooking than restaurant food. It was all pretty plain and under-seasoned. The best part was the accompanying tostone. It would be 3 stars for food alone, but the vibe and atmosphere was great, as was service. Cocktails (which lean tiki) are good too. The jungle bird variant they serve (with aperol) lacks a little of the bitter kick of the original, but was very fresh-tasting. They have a massive selection of rum behind the bar. A fun time, and a good night out for drinks.

Having finally been, I'm bummed it took me so long to walk through the doors of this charming and delicious Dundas West spot. I had stayed away thinking I wouldn't be able to find much in the way of vegetarian-friendly fare. I think I was lumping it in with the other Jen Agg owned spot, Black Hoof, which is very veg-unfriendly. Turns out Rhum Corner has more than enough on its menu to satisfy both the veggiesaurus and meatasuarus in your life. They don't take reservations, but my party of three walked in around 8:30pm on a Tuesday and were sat immediately at a cozy little table. We each ordered a cocktail (two Rhum Negroni slushies and a Mai Tai) and set out making our decisions. We basically took on half the snack menu, which is all the vegetarian options they have, but its more than enough for three people to share for a light-ish dinner. About 15 minutes later our items started to arrive: bananes frites, accra fritters with pikliz, macaroni au gratin, and rice n'beans. Everything was delicious and satisfying and I was still stuffed hours later. Our tart and somewhat bitter cocktails were the perfect balance to all the hearty food. Also worth nothing is the space itself. There has been meticulous attention paid to the decor, glassware, and even the custom stamp used for the takeout containers. Its the kind of thing that welcomes you right away but doesn't feel staged. A difficult balance to strike, but well done here.

My beef is with the lack of POC in front of house and kitchen. In all of our visits, there was only ever one person of color working in the kitchen. I realize that it is a Haitian owner. But the contrast between the mostly-white clientele & staff, versus the objectified black bodies displayed in the décor is disturbing. (Also, the bathroom stalls always smell like urine or worse, not coconuts, and need a better ventilation system or deodorizer.) The food and drink is, of course, delicious and the service is always good. But this successful business formula relies on operating just like any other non black owned restaurant -- Toronto often excludes people of color in the daily operations of casual fine dining. And, yes, we're Caribbean POC and yes, we have seen other POC dining there. But it seems to be the exception.

Cozy lil cocktail spot near bellwoods. I've never been there when it hasn't been absolutely packed. The cocktails are rum focused and tropical. They have 2 rum slushy options which make this place worth the visit in my opinion. They also have delicious food offerings that are a good mix of sharing and dinner plates. I usually order the cashew chicken, rice and peas. My boyfriend gets the oxtail and says it's better than the one his Jamaican dad makes. They always bring spicy pickled cabbage to the table and it's a welcome addition to the meal.

This place is so cute!! Placed in a very nice spot in the city, inside is even better! I love the bathroom so much and the decorations just make you feel exclusive lol I had the painkiller and it was pretty strong but really good! Fruity which is definitely what I was looking for. Kitchen closed by the time we got there which was disappointing but they made us last minute drinks which were amazing. The painkiller #3 was about $12 and the bartenders are cool! Can't wait to come back! :)

Great cocktails. The vibe is good. It's not too big but not too small. The rhum selection is off the hook and the bartenders are as smooth as silk. Been here when the weather was sweltering hot and freezing cold but the drinks are always the right temperature. I feel like I'm in the caribe. Would recommend.

Was referred to this place by a friend and I truly wish I was there before they stopped serving food. ( even though some small plates were offered to I assume frequent patrons or friends... no biggie) I was told they didn't have any rice left to serve either, no biggie I'll still try the drinks. Even though the food smelled heavenly, the drinks were soooooooo fresh and refreshing. I was told per bartender to try starting off the spiced rhum ginger and oh wow!!! Amazingly fresh and delicious. Next the bartender just said " let me make you something" that drink was fresh tasting as well. I viewed the fresh ingredients used and I loved to see that. Loved the whole ambiance and how the low lighting and vibe of music flows. I'll def will visit again but during dinner time to try the items I have heard about.

I am not sure what they put in the drink "Zombie", but if the taste is anywhere as good as how it feels to be a zombie, I would want to be in The Walking Dead. This drink is absolutely delicious and a great way to start the night! We got the "Oxtail with rice, gravy, and tostones", "Legumes and goat over polenta", "Pork Ribs, "Fried pork shoulder and fried plantains", "A Whole Fish" and a couple other dishes. Needless to say, we definitely had a great night. The place gives off a unique and yet cozy vibe. All the dishes were quite good and the price is very reasonable. The dessert was a Rhum cake and it was the sweetest way to end the night. This is definitely a good place to bring friends after a long day at work to relax and enjoy some comfort food!

Rhum Corner is the place to be in Toronto. Just north of West Queen West, it's on a street with several great cocktail bars (Like Cocktail Bar across the street). The theme is casual Haitian and it's so awesome. The staff is friendly and they make GREAT cocktails and food. If you like sweet drinks, order the fresco. The mac and cheese is on point as a snack!

It's 10:30 pm on a Sunday night, and I'm looking for a place to eat. No better place to turn to than yelp to see what's currently open and well rated. a few places pop up, but Rhum Corner stood out to me, as I have frequented the black hoof and Jen Agg's spin-offs in the past and felt that it would be a safe choice. When I first heard that Jen and husband Roland Jean were closing the raw bar for a haute cuisine carribean restaurant and rum bar, I was skeptical. but the reviews have come in favourably, and so, it was finally time to check it out. for drinks, my table and I all got the Dark and Stormy based on some of the reviews on yelp and the overall description on the menu. As promised, it delieverd in all aspects. Great ginger beer base, and balance of all ingredients. I got the Griot (Fried pork shoulder, with fried plaintain), and the Accra (a fried dumplings of sorts, similar to fried taro that you get at chinese dim sum) for the table to start. both dishes were delicious, and perfect for sharing. For the main, I got the oxtail which came with white rice, a bean gravy sauce, and tostones. The dish itself was great, but what really put it over the top was the hot sauce that they gave us on the side. whooooo. Not sure what it consisted of, but it tasted like smokey scotch bonnet peppers and some vinegar. If you like heat with your food, definitely ask for it, and throw it on. Aside from the food and drinks, I really liked the atmosphere. It reminded me of little cafes or bars I would go to when travelling through South America. dimly lit, tunes in the background, and an overall feeling of relaxation. I would definitley recommend taking friends here to catch up over drinks, or on a nice night out with the significant other.

I've never been much of a rum drinker, but my parents are from the Caribbean so I decided to stop in. Everyone who works here is so nice and helpful. Great vibe! As for the drinks, I ordered a rum and coke. They helped me pick a delicious high end rum (there are a ton of rum options here, sorted by country distilled). The bartender poured one shot of Angustora 1919 rum, one shot of Mexican Coke and stirred it. So simple, but it may by one of the best drinks I've had to date. So good. Safe to say, I'm now a rum drinker. I didn't get to try any food, but I def will on my second visit!

The space has been reinvented so many times, and I personally love it's current incarnation as Rhum Corner. You do feel transported here. The drink menu is excellent and craft cocktails are expertly made. The rum selection alone is unparalleled to any other place in the city. Foodwise, not so bad either ;) If i'm in the area, this is the place i'll be stopping by for a cocktail above all else.

I've been here a couple of times. I recommend everyone to order a rum and coke. It would completely change your perception of the simple drink. The bar sources a great rum and pairs it with a Mexican coke, which tastes phenomenal. Another great part is they use their own in-house ice machine which reduces air bubbles so they melt more slowly and stays cold for longer! The waitress and bartenders were really friendly! There is also a generous food menu, but make sure you order before 11 if you want to give it a try!

Cool little cozy bar on dudas west. My first time here was very pleasant however it gets really crowded and loud so it's kinda hard to talk. The music is good tho I've tried some of their cocktails and they're all really good. Very fruity and tropical flavours. If you're into cocktails on def the place for it.

I have been wanting to check this place out since it opened and finally got to do so. My first attempt was on a Wednesday and was a huge fail. FYI- they're closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Planned to meet some friends for a drink there on Friday night around 9:00pm. My friend got there first and was told there was a 45 minute wait so we just headed down the street to Magpie. Around 10:30/11:00 we decided to give Rhum Corner another shot and were able to snag 3 seats at the bar. It was packed, music was blaring and the rum was flowing. If you're a real rum aficionado you'll appreciate the varieties of rum that they have available for your tasting pleasure. I had a dark and stormy ($9) and a beer (they start at $4.50 for a mug - not quite a pint). The food menu was limited but all sounded (and smelled) delicious. All in all I liked the overall vibe of the place (but note that it's more of a restaurant feel than a bar) and definitely want to come back to try the food! **they were only accepting cash and debit on Friday night, not sure if that's the usual**

This review is for Uber Eats delivery. The chicken patties are absolutely amazing, the crust is so flaky and flavourful and the filling is packed with super juicy chunks of chicken (how?!) and peppers. I got one but truly, I may get 10 next time. The oxtail with beans and rice was good, too fatty for me, but thats my fault I should have known its a fatty cut. The pikliz is something you need in your fridge, crunchy, sour and spicy, I'm planning on using it in grilled cheese and on some fish. The cocktail kits are great for a gift, I got the dark and stormy that comes with house-made ginger syrup, lime, rum, and club soda. Definitely going to get some more.

There is something great about a dark and sweaty neighborhood rum bar buzzing with people from the neighborhood and the smell of fried plantains. Though we just came in for one drink it certainly left an impression. A bit outside the tourist sections of Toronto, Rhum Corner felt really local which was a good thing. They make a mean Mai Tai and the Spiced Rhum and ginger was excellent as well. Definitely worth it.

I hate writing negative reviews but... I was highly disappointed after eating at Rhum Corner. I'm Haitian American. Both of my parents were born in Haiti so I am very familiar with Haitian food. However, the food they serve at Rhum Corner is NOT Haitian food. You can't just make red kidney beans and rice and call it Haitian food. I guess since most of the patrons that frequent Rhum Corner have never had Haitian food so they don't know the difference, but I do. I was interested in having the cashew chicken with rice. When I asked the waiter what kind of rice is served with the chicken he just said "seasoned". In Haitian cuisine we have many kinds of rice so replying by saying "seasoned" doesn't differentiate anything because all of our foods are seasoned. I tried asking my question to another waitress and she didn't know either. I ordered the cashew chicken anyway and realized it came with diri kole and two fried plantain. The chicken and rice wasn't bad, it just wasn't Haitian by any means. Also the portions were small. I recommend the owners buy Haitian products to make these dishes like a Haitian brand cooking rice such as Madame Gougousse or Haitian Princess and Maggi bouillon cubes. It makes a huge difference. Also, I see a lot of reviewers talk about the drinks being good. I did not order a drink, maybe that would've made my experience better.

This is a great place to try different kinds of rum cocktails. The servers were very helpful and friendly. I had the Dark and Stormy rum drink with ginger and sushi tuna salad and fried plantains. Drinks and food were delicious. The environment was dark and mellow. R&b, hip hop and Spanish music. The washrooms were shared by men and women. You use whatever stall is available and u share the sink to wash your hands. It was decorated very well.

Love the atmosphere. Love the fun servers. Love the washroom. Love the rum. Love the cocktails. Overall, lovely date spot - very cozy. Was thinking about hitting up Hoof Bar and Cocktail Bar as well, but this place was comfortable enough for us not to go hopping around.

This is one of the best places in the city to eat and drink at. Out of every cocktail the dark and stormy was the best in my opinion and each dish was packed with perfect flavor and texture. Amazing food. The service is great. Everyone is polite and helpful. The pictures show the ceviche with plantain and griot (indescribably delicious) also holy Crap their pork ribs are the best ribs I think I've ever had. You will not be disappointed. Music is bomb too, soo good

My second time here - consistently great food and cocktails. I had the painkiller #3 and the spiced rhum and ginger, so delicious. I think their cocktails are reasonably priced for Toronto. Special shoutout to the staff. Everyone is very friendly and relaxed. No one will be rushing you out the door. Make sure you visit the unisex washroom and enjoy the wallpaper. :)

This is the best cocktail bar/restaurant in Toronto IMHO (and I've been to some good ones)! Their cocktails were refreshing, bright, and delicious. And their food is equally good and perfectly seasoned! I recommend the Griot for a snack and their version of a Dark n' Stormy called the "Spiced Rhum and Ginger." The cucumber shiso daiquiri was also very good! Cheers!

I just loved the atmosphere. All food was made to order. The whole fish was delish!!! My next visit to Toronto will require a stop here.

The ambience and small bites of this place definitely deserve a 5star rating. The cocktails while tasty don't pack much of a punch and are sized on the small side. Nice spot

Came here with a couple friends and we ordered a bunch of stuff off the menu and shared it. It was absolutely amazing - the Mac & cheese was my absolute favourite and I loved the decor of the place. Definitely recommend going here for something different.
