The Global Drinker — World Bar Guide
Le Tigre
Toronto, Canada
If Barbie's Dreamhouse had a martini bar, it would probably look like Le Tigre. Hidden above a piano shop in the upscale Rosedale neighbourhood, this sultry, neon-pink lounge glows like an '80s Miami fever dream. From the team behind Toronto's Cry Baby Gallery (an art-gallery speakeasy), it contrasts against its sibling's industrial moodiness. French electro hums over a grand quartz bar (pink, naturally), while lush palms cover the wallpaper and windowsills. Amid the playful aesthetic is a serious cocktail programme. Ice-cold martinis arrive on silver trays, while a mai tai is reimagined with gin, sake and horchata. A 'swicy' margarita is laced with honeydew melon and falernum, while a fancy Old Fashioned commands north of 100 CDN for its lavish ingredients.
