The Global Drinker — World Bar Guide

Ronnie's

Toronto, Canada

No trip to Kensington Market is complete without a stop at Ronnie's. Open from 2pm to 2am daily, this legendary haunt has been slinging pints for more than 20 years. Cash-only and charmingly scrappy with Polaroids on the walls and layers of stickers and scraps from visitors past, it's long won over locals and in-the-know travellers – Anthony Bourdain included – for its no-frills, no f*cks attitude. Out front, a large patio strung with Christmas lights year-round keeps things buzzing.
