A companion and I came here on Saturday night after attending an event down the street. We wanted a place where we could feel safe to be ourselves and also have a drink. It was about 10pm or so. There was no cover, the two folks working the bar Adam and one with tattoos and glasses were so sweet and welcoming. We never felt pressured to order more drinks, they were fine with us conversing and sipping on water after we had purchased drinks. The drinks were made properly, the price was very reasonable and the venue was just perfect to hang out and be. It did busier later on the night but they were fine with us moving to the back. Thank you for providing a safe space for us to just be and enjoy the rest of our night. This queer bar is everything you’d want. I don’t understand the other reviews about the drinks and price and attitude from the bartenders, because everything was beyond great!
Adam was an absolute gem, after hitting multiple bars this was everything we needed. Thankyou again for ending our night off with an amazing finish. He’s truly great and absolutely made our night as we’re not from Toronto and were made to feel so welcome and at home. Would give more stars if I could.
My favorite bar. Such a wonderful atmosphere! Love the people, love visiting. Always a great time!!! There's often a lot of sapphic people, which is lacking at some other bars
Love the vibe, happy to have a safe space for lesbian and allies. However I must implore you to get a better karaoke host. The sound is terrible now, mic is muffled, sound is off. The sound person doesn’t care to change the pitch or volume to suit your voice. Nada. Please have someone else host. 🙏🏼
A super chill and fun bar! Stopped by Three Dollar Bill on a bar crawl. It's a smaller bar, but the atmosphere and people are great. We even came back at the end of the night because the vibes were just immaculate.
Their cocktail was amazing and exotic. The bartenders know their stuffs! They are also very welcoming and made me feel like home :) If you happen to be here, do try this particular cocktail with maraschino. I loved it!
Total mid-century vibes! Lovely seating in the back room, and delicious cocktails. Be sure to check out the toilets downstairs
A lot of people are talking about how they find the drinks overpriced and not great. I disagree! Our first round we ordered a martini, mixed drink, and beer and paid $36 before tip. Paying on average $12 per drunk in Toronto is a very acceptable price. I love martinis and the bartender did a great job making them we ordered a few rounds. Everyone working there was fast and nice, it was nice to be in a queer place that was a little more mature. Those 25-40 would feel very comfortable. After 10pm there is only bar service, recommend coming before 9:30 on fri/sat if you want a table!
Best bartender/owner and fun DJ
Favorite bar in Toronto! Loved every event Ive been to here, its so friendly and welcoming and great decor!
A very nice new bar with friendly attentive staff, great atmosphere and DJ
Its cute and swanky inside and have very unpretentious staff which makes it an approachable bar. I like this place a lot :)
I love coming here - the atmosphere is great, the bartenders are fantastic, and they host events all the time!
Amazing place to catch drag king shows. I love their liquor quality as well. Very cool and queer accepting enviroment. Lovely patio
Sweet little bar, went for a friend of a friends DJ set and had quite a decent time. Super cute little patio space out the back, very nice when it s open.
Music has never really hit and drinks can be slow but good safe space.
Great spot for meeting fellow queer people! i felt so uniquely welcome and valued here in a way i ve never really felt. Love it!!
Dropped in for the first time. Accidentally arrived right on time for trivia. We had a blast. Amazing new place! Best of luck. Will be back many times.
I never got food here so can t speak on that but I am obsessed with the basement bathrooms here. Probably some of the nicest/cleanest bathrooms you can find at a bar in this city. Compared to other bars that charge way more money have the most disgusting bathrooms. I really appreciate the quality and don t have anxiety about mold toxicity.
I love this place so much. Aside from the area its in, and having to go down stairs to reach the bathroom - this place is so unbelievably welcoming and safe for queer & trans people. The staff are incredibly kind people and it really shows. Ive never felt so comfortable in a room full of strangers before. I really recommend this place, especially for events! Its always a fun time :)
They host awesome events!!!
Loveliest people here; owners, staff and clients!!
Obsessed with this space. The sapphic haven we all needed.
Great space with owners who care
We thought we were getting along with the bartender, who turned out to be an owner. She overheard my boyfriend and I talking about the place and interrupted to correct us with we are a QUEER bar not a GAY bar. We rolled our eyes, downed our drinks and left. They take themselves too seriously to be fun. Who wants politics and culture wars in your recreational spaces. Teal buzz kill.
My girlfriend and I were so excited to come here we havent lived in Toronto very long and havent been out to many queer bars but this place seemed very us. The night started out great the bartender we had was very friendly and we got 2 or 3 drinks total. When we asked for the bill somebody different then we first started off was the person to collect our money. They were very judgemental when we didnt give the tip they expected. As they let us know, 20 percent is expected. We for sure would have tipped more on any given night but tonight we both had situations where that was not possible. We went out to relax our minds and try to take away from that. We wont be back thats for sure, very embarrassing.
Unprofessional, will never go back again. Be prepared to tip almost half your bill or you will be told off in front of the whole bar.
I give an extra star for potential, but 1 star across the board. The food was passable. The service bland until the bill came, then all of a sudden super friendly, obviously because it was tip time. As for atmosphere, according to these ladies, they are the bomb.
Really nice vibe
Friendly service, great drinks, chill vibes. Very happy to have this spot in Parkdale.
Nice bar, very nice people, Sunday night karoke was a vibe!
Such a joyful space full of amazing folks!
Went for Kunst Kids Open Stage and was the best night out in Toronto in ages!! So excited for more to come from this bar!!
Events are usually a hit, sometimes a miss, always good for karaoke. I just wish the Dave s hot chicken nearby was open way later.
Amazing bar, incredible staff, great music!
Great food, attentive service, chill yet exciting vibe, and the staff are super cool and friendly!
Gorgeous. Chill. Queer. Friendly. Perfect bar.
Congrats on the opening!!! Can t wait to come again (:
The ambiance was fantastic. However, we were very disappointed by the quality of the drinks. Drinks were overpriced for the taste. No food/snack menu available yet. Service
drinks were delicious. great vibes.
Good vibes, great service, just limited cocktails. Also nice 25 cent tarot readings in the basement
Such a gorgeous space! So excited to see it blossom! The nicest and coolest vibe and staff!
My new favourite spot in parkdale. Kind and welcoming staff. Offering more than just a social atmosphere and drinks, three dollar bill has put a lot of thought and effort into their programming. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a LGBTQ+ spot
1) Bartenders were bland and looked unhappy but tip question was there for sure 2) we went for a watch party but barely heard what was being said on the screen on top of bar crowd noise. Also they were projecting from a laptop on a diy stool- it showed they don t know how to properly throw a watch party 3) flyer said tickets at door but they turned down 2 folks on our group of 5 for not having online tickets because they were sold out on a dive bar environment with plenty of empty chairs around 4) i did not use but friends told that washrooms were not enough for the space either Host Sisi Superstar was cute tho she definitely deserved a better organization Summary do not go there with big hopes as it obviously shows that they are struggling to run a bar
New trendy gay bar in Parkdale has a really nice vibe and aesthetic. Definitely worth a visit. Its not the biggest but if youre looking for a cute place to check out on the west - put this on your list
so happy to have a beautiful new queer space in Toronto <3 three dollar bill forever!!
Great vibes and great drinks. Thanks Noah for taking care of us last night!
Amazing vibes! Loved the karoake hosted by Jaye and EZ!
