A great little neighbourhood bar. Tasty snacks. A small selection of beer in cans and 2 on top but they also do fun cocktails, spirits and seltzers. Staff is friendly and fun. TO THE OWNER: Thank you for bringing back Beau's Lug Tread. One of my favourite beers. Also, a big shout out to Mackie and Nanako! Always a pleasure chatting with you.

Cocktails are good. Just caution as some of the specials they have on the menu are cash only and they don't have an ATM which then makes you pay full price...

Totally underrated small bar with snacks and incredible cocktails. The bartender, Macky, is hands down one of the best bartenders in the city. He's attentive, quick, and makes a stellar beverage. Their

My margarita was alright. It was only my friend and I and another man at the bar but the waitress took over 20 minutes to make my drink and get my friend his beer. Bar menu also very limited with items such as edamame, popcorn, beef patty and pizza pops. Would not recommend because the service is too slow and the food is pretty much microwave type of food. You won’t get the value of your money here.

Macky was a dope individual- amazing cocktail. Lovely peasant environment- super easy going. Great spot for a chill time with good friends

I am very confused about this place. It is like a dive bar accidentally got stuck in a cafeteria in some 80's sci-fi movie but thinks it's a cocktail bar? Maybe? The drinks (cocktails) are weird and not very well-crafted. All of their "signatures" are so sweet and basic. And I'd never even heard of some of the ones they call "classics". Like, they don't even exist on Google so how you can call them classics is bizarre. I went there with a group of other bartender friends and we left after a round because it just wasn't hitting. I guess we didn't get it? The interior is also very barren and cold feeling. It seems like a place for local old guys to drink Canadian under purple lights (That was the entirety of the other patrons). You know what I mean? It's so hard to explain because I have no idea what it is or the crowd they are looking to appeal to. Bartender was friendly, however. I think, it feels like the type of place that 19-year-old girls would go for doing shots for someone's birthday, and for super-sweet low ABV cocktails like you have on holiday at those all-inclusive 2-star beach resorts. If that's your vibe and taste, I think it would appeal a lot and you'd enjoy it. There's nothing wrong with a bar like this, and arguably, there is a market for it; it's just not for me.

I would frequently walk by and notice the sign $3 whiskey shots. So I decided to try it on a Friday night. Super cheap but vibes are relative to the price. Unfortunately they didn't have AC when I went during the summer. Would come back for a quick whiskey shot!

Have walked by a few times and finally stopped by for a drink! Very happy I did-- had their Mango Tango cocktail and they also have a good selection of local beers. Loved their snacks too (fish balls on skewers!! ♥️ And a variety of nuts, wasabi peas). Server was really nice. Will definitely come back to try the rest of their cocktails :)

Love this place! This is our go-to neighborhood spot for laid back casual drinks and hangouts. The bar staff (Queenie and Jess) are the friendliest and loveliest bartenders in the area. Only downside to this place is that it gets HOT in the summer time and it feels like I cant breathe when Im inside, so I always stay outside. Please invest in an AC, once you do, Ill give it 6 stars.

Went for a friend s birthday. New drink offers excellent quality and slightly better range. Macki suggested we chose a cheaper drink than Hennesy we were about to have - one we d had before. Afternoon was better with the Acoustic vibe. Macki showed good customer service to everyone. Would recommend Wei bar to my friends

Chris truly cared about the drinks he made us. He explained the process, and was obviously passionate about everything he did. Hes either going to bring this place to the best bars in toronto level, or move to someplace that recognizes that hell do it for them. Hes sure these folks will let him explore his creativity. Ill be here the next chance I get, because of him.

Bad customer service with short haired waitress. We walked in and asked for drink(before 1:40) and got told NO with attitude. But she served drinks after she knew she was wrong. She served drinks to other people after us without any questions.

Walked by on the way to another bar, and stopped here instead. The sign out front with the daily specials, the lighting inside.. it distracted us, and it worked. What an awesome little place thats been open a few months. Very unassuming and low key. Great prices, great snack selection, great service. Would definitely return here as a destination, instead of an accidental stop in!
