Danu Social House in Toronto

Meredith always delivers. Queen 10/10 amazing place with amazing vibes and amazing drinks

An awesome place to kick back for a casual drink. Bring your book if you want or borrow one from their library

Excellent craft cocktails, cozy ambiance, and great library!

Such a great space and vibe! The cocktails were absolutely incredible. Highly recommend

Great cocktails and an amazingly curated little shelf of boardgames!! UPDATE: they now have sandwiches. I had the Monty cubano and it was stellar. Food : 5/5

Amazing atmosphere, super friendly host, planning on coming back for D&D

Surprisingly good cocktail!

Dont let the name fool you, this i s a chess bar. I asked the server for a double rye and coke, and she asked me for my Elo??? I lied and said 1500, drink was nice F i v e S t a r s Kid-friendliness: Hope you kid can play chess, rated 700 or higher ideally.

Excellent staff and excellent drinks! Try whatever your bartender recommends and be amazed! Great events too!

Lovely social space. Welcoming and laid back. Perfect to enjoy hobbies, read books, or just chat

The vibes were immaculate 11/10 recommend Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp in and its 1 level Food : 5/5 |

Good place to grab a drink in an evening. Not a lot of food options but the drinks menu is decent and the service is great.

Best place Ive ever been in my entire life

Nice place, easy going, great crowd, good beer selection, friendly.

Nice chill place to go to. Positive environment.

Gorgeous bar with friendly people.

10/10 - and it s a free public library Wheelchair accessibility: Great for wheelchairs! Food : 5/5 |

Incredibly friendly vibe, the kind of place where you can just meet new people - so rare these days. The cocktail menu is outstanding, but what really blew me away was the NA/mocktail menu - they take their mocktails seriously, and theyre INCREDIBLE. Best mocktail menu in the city!

Arjan made some delicious cocktails and the vibe was welcoming and chill. With the large selection of books and friendly clientele and bartenders, this can be a great neighbourhood spot.

Cool spot for a drink

Warm, welcoming vibe; great staff and enthusiastic, caring proprietor; tasty, interesting cocktails and snacks; accessible in all senses of the word (to those using mobility aids, to the oppressed, to the socially anxious, to users of public transit) whats not to like? Full disclosure: the owner is my nephew, but Id really love this place anyway. Find out for yourself!

Just wonderful! Scott killed it, the drinks, people and atmosphere were amazing, and I called 3 days after my visit to see if they found something I lost and they have it :) Thank you guys!! Food

Cool vibe, has a full library in house with books if you like to read with a drink. The space is extremely welcoming to all walks of life and is a friendly place to spend a night! They also offer a great selection of Spirits and Mixed Drinks with pop up s featuring bar tenders from across Toronto s Bar scene regularly Edit: Would like to note Danu runs seasonal drink menus, so this image is no longer accurate!

An incredible place with a great feeling of community in Toronto Cant wait to be back!

Great space with fun events and good people working there.

Hosted our small event at Danus and had a fantastic time all around. Everyone loved the creative drink menu, especially the fun non-alc options. Overall a nice, warm, inviting space on Queen west for a get-together or pop-in to check out the nightly cool events. We loved our bartender, Scott who really helped us out with setting up music and mics and just being a total hero. Cant wait to come back. #LongLiveDanu

Its rare to walk into a bar and instantly feel relaxed and at ease, but that is exactly the feeling at Danu. It instantly feels familiar and comfortable, while hosting events that open you up to new ideas and new experiences. I have been coming to Danu since it opened and find myself meeting new people and having great conversations I wouldnt have expected every time I go. Its really awesome to walk into a space that puts my social anxiety to rest and lets me have organic conversation with new people. Wheelchair accessibility: There is a very small small step to get into the bar, but they have a ramp you can use to get in if needed. The inside is intentionally designed to be an accessible space with a fully accessible washroom on the main level and space for a wheelchair to pass through the bar.

I was here with a group of friends the other day and I had a wonderful time here. Great atmosphere and the bartender was fantastic. If you are a fan of whisky sours do yourself a favour and check this place out.

JOSH

Great place to meet new people. Intresting concept with some solid drinks.

Absolutely amazing bartender and vibe - must stop new bar on the block!

Gorgeous space and loved the drinks. A really great community vibe.

Great drinks and very warm, welcoming vibes. Would definitely go back!

New favourite spot with a really interesting vibe. Bookshelves at the back and vines on the ceiling.

Great bar! Love the vibe.

My new favourite spot in Parkdale! I love how community-oriented this place is it feels less like a bar and more like a cozy house party. Except this house has floor-to-ceiling bookcases and vines growing along the ceiling. I was never really into cocktails before, but Danu might convert me!

Absolutely wonderful vibes and great cocktails

Amazing place !!

I had some delicious cocktails! It was such a lovely evening - great friendly bartenders, great board game selection and lots of interesting reads too!

Very welcoming space! Shanon made the special drink I requested (Aperol Royal), and Arjen got some really delicious samosas going in the deep fryer. If you read my reviews, you know I am very picky! I am very happy to report that these samosas were PERFECT! They were crunchy and flaky (dont you often encounter oily, soggy ones?) The filling wasnt spicy, but they were served with a spicy and a tamarind sauce, so that would satisfy the spice lovers. Both folks at the helm were very kind and friendly. Will certainly be back, and I hope they add a few more simple bites to the menu, so one can stay there to eat. Very nice patio outside, where you can enjoy people watching in one of the citys busiest streets. Next time, I will take pics.

Great vibe, good drinks, very relaxed. Had a nice night with friends.

One of a kind bar with a vision you can really get behind. Theres just nowhere like it! I havent been to a bar that aligns more with real values. Love it!!

Good vibes, love the books! The owner is super nice, spent half the night chatting and showing us delicious drinks. Plus anywhere with leaves on the ceiling and fairy lights gets my vote!

Great bar that feels cozy and intimate but also suited for larger hangouts. Its got a wide selection of drinks and the space is beautiful. The well-curated library and games are a bonus.

Excellent location for community events in Parkdale. They have storytelling, games nights, and art and are looking to act as a third space for activists and organizers. Super friendly staff. Love it here.

Excellent space that thoughtfully designed to facilitate conversations with people you otherwise might not interact with. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable but most importantly, they know how to make a mean cocktail. Highly recommended.

Love the events and care+creativity that goes into the drinks!
