Description:
DOWNTOWN. The owner of this posh lounge furnished it with acquisitions he found in a Marrakesh market, so the look is authentically colorful. Pillows and mirrors are abundant, which adds to the exotic vibe. Don't expect to mingle with a bunch of wild, trendy youngsters – the clientele is hip, but they're a bit more mature and laid back. Music is cool downbeat, perfect for lounging on a couch with a cocktail. |

Description:
DOWNTOWN. It's about time someone thought of this. C Lounge combines all the best aspects of a spa with the trendy attitude of a lounge – the result is an upscale, relaxed and comfortable nightspot where you can get your nails done or enjoy a massage while you sip a cosmo.

Along with incredibly plush seating and lounging, you'll find a lovely courtyard with a pool; VIP cabanas along the pool deck offer the ultimate in privacy. |

(Nightlife - Lounge) |

580 King St W, Toronto M5V 1M1 416-203-2226 647-477-3163
|
|
Distance:
~1.415 km * |
|
|
 |

Description:
DOWNTOWN. What might have been cold and hard – décor comprised of stone, brick metal and wood – is transformed into something softer, sleek and contemporary here, with the addition of pink: pink lights here, a Barbie-pink wall there, pink glowing candles. The pink glow is flattering, to be sure (the occasional switch to vivid green light, not so much!). The crowd is mostly attractive 20- and 30-somethings in a party mood – of the relax-and-let-go-of-your-troubles sort. If you need a breather, check out the lovely courtyard. |

2 Cats |

|
|
Distance:
~1.417 km * |
|
|
 |
| |
Description:
DOWNTOWN. Smooth, unpretentious lounge 2 Cats appeals to a cross section of TO's populace, from swingin' hep cats to philosophical night owls. The modern version of lounge music – smooth soul, alt rock, deep house, even retro sounds – is the perfect backdrop. It starts out mellow and cool, and switches into high gear later in the evening. A martini goes down easy here. |

Byzantium |
|
(Nightlife - Lounge) |
|
499 Church St, Toronto M4Y 2C6 416-922-3859
|
|
Distance:
~2.195 km * |
|
|
 |
| |
Description:
DOWNTOWN. A mixed crowd mimics the cosmopolitan nature of this bar's namesake, the Roman-Greek city of Byzantium, which later became known as Istanbul. Aside from that, there's little resemblance. The lounge is stylish and sophisticated; the dining room opposite is a bit more luxurious. Dining here is always an adventure, with globally inspired flavors and beautiful presentation. But simply sipping a cocktail or two in the bar can be, as well – the inspired martini list includes something like 100 different versions. |

|
|
 |
| |
Description:
DOWNTOWN. Styled after a chic South Beach club, Wish is all white walls, palm trees and pale wood. The vibe is casual and upbeat, and you can choose to eat a full meal, or nosh on appetizers and sip martinis for hours. The food, like the décor, is light and stylish. Choose grilled lamb chops with charred asparagus, fire grilled calamari, ceviche or wild mushroom ravioli. Trendy without being at all pretentious, Wish is owned by the same folks who operate 7 West Café, a fabulous 24-hour bar/restaurant. |

Roof Lounge |
|
(Nightlife - Lounge) |

4 Avenue Rd, Park Hyatt Toronto, Toronto M5S 1T6 416-925-1234 416-924-5471
|
|
Distance:
~2.754 km * |
|
|
 |
| |
Description:
DOWNTOWN. For decades now, the Roof Lounge has been favored by a well-educated, impeccably dressed and moneyed crowd including actors, business executives, writers and fashionable society types. The swanky space on the 17th floor has a fabulous view, along with elegant décor and professional staff, some of whom have been here nearly as long as the bar itself. Your drink of choice should be a dry martini or something similarly classic – this is NOT the place to order a Velvet Crush, or anything with Midori or Blue Curacao. |

Description:
WEST TORONTO. Souz Dal has managed to be hip for several years now. The sultry space evokes exotic locations like Marrakesh or Istanbul with a vibrant color scheme, beaded curtains, lazy ceiling fans, flickering candlelight and velvet pillows. Music is usually down-tempo or trip hop. This is the sort of place where you sip martinis and cosmos, nibble on pistachios, and chill. Extremely popular for dates, too. |

 |
| |
Description:
DOWNTOWN. If your main aim is to see and be seen, then don your finest designer threads and make your way to Amber, where getting past the door staff is just part of the fun. Sleek, predominantly white décor shows fashion house attire (and a fake tan) to its best advantage, and the bartenders are adept at both the classics and the new concoctions. Food is part of the draw – creative Asian-Mediterranean fusion cooking that's interesting and flavorful, without being too filling. |
