The Global Drinker — World Bar Guide

The Comrade

Toronto, Canada

For more than two decades, night owls have flocked to this Riverside drinking den for post-shift cocktails and late-night bites. Most notably, the double-stacked prime rib burger continues to draw a devoted crowd. Drenched in near total darkness, save for the glow of moody red lanterns and candlelight flickering off the tin ceiling, it feels as if you have stepped into a real life game of Clue. No murder mystery here, though, just a solid spot for cozy date nights or gossiping with old friends, provided you don't mind a little eavesdropping from the surrounding taxidermy. Classic cocktails like a negroni or Manhattan will set you back a mere 13 CDN during their daily happy hour, or get the friendly barkeeps to shake up something special.
