Best Nightlife in Toronto

"While not associated with the Toronto-born rapper of the same name, the Drake Hotel’s nightlife offerings are no less hip or happening. This boutique hotel is a hub for local events including concerts, DJs and multimedia art. The Drake’s basement venue, the Underground, hosts a rotating roster of dance parties, touring acts and cultural happenings like slam poetry nights."

"This arts-oriented, 19-room boutique hotel, originally a derelict apartment block, still maintains the high hip quotient it has enjoyed since it opened. A hit with both local and international creative types, it is a true Toronto cultural hub, covering all the travel basics — art, music, food and shopping."

"Lavelle is our top pick for rooftop patio spots for two reasons, day and night. With a chill lounge vibe at night and a rooftop pool party vibe during the day you can sip on tasty drinks from the top of King West with an incredible view of the fashion district from above. This spot caters more so to a mix of young professionals and mature business professionals, so expect a diverse yet classy crowd."

Its coupe-style seating and cushioned seats with delightful and casual Asian ambiance can be your ideal meal destination. Big Mac Bao, Hakka Brown Wontons, Grilled Korean Ribs, all you can have accompanied with wine or beer of your choice."

"Not because it’s bad, but because it’s a gimmick and you know how it’s going to taste. Save your appetite for the menu’s wealth of creative and intricate flavor combinations — like chunks of watermelon fried in a wafer-thin batter and topped with pork floss, or Hakka wontons in brown butter. If dining in a group, absolutely save room for a whole trout that’s been filleted, fried, and reassembled on a platter with sweet, salty, and spicy dipping sauces."

"For a truly amazing takeout experience (and some of the best Chinese food in the city) be sure to try out Dailo’s near Kensington Market. DaiLo is Cantonese slang for “big brother,” a term of endearment to show respect and love to an elder. The New Asian menu here not only pays tribute to the ways and tastes of older Chinese cultures and generations, but it also brings in a French perspective while recognizing the importance of sustainable ingredients."

"Is there anything more summery than a margarita and a giant bowl of guacamole?. Well, there probably are lots of things, but for the purpose of this article let's pretend that is it (I do have a word count, after all). El Catrin is located in the Distillery and the outdoor patio is a mixture of old world charm with modern touches."
