Thirsty & Miserable - Toronto, Ontario

Small but great beer selection. Bit too dark and loud to hang out and talk. Not a huge amount of seating so don't bring a big group. Bathroom is downstairs of course. Very nice bartender and owner. Cash only, ATM charges $2.50.

Top local haunt in Kensington. Great bartenders, good selection of craft beer.

This little gem has everything I look for in a bar: dim, slightly sketchy lighting; tiny and cosy ambience; perfect punk music that's not too loud (so you can have an actual conversation without yelling across the table); awesome selection of beers; and super friendly bartenders. I have been to ... many so-called dive bars but this is as dive-y as it gets. My go-to place for dates and drinking sessions with friends. Thank you, Thirsty! PS: Don't miss the interesting washroom graffiti! Read more

Awesome little place to come and sit around and drink and chat all things craft beer. My fave IPA on the planet at the moment is Dieu du Ciel’s Disco Solei.

Awesome bar with plenty of craft beers on tap and in bottles. Often very busy as the space is relatively small. Great atmosphere, love the background music -some classic rock, stoner rock, punk. Terrific service. In the heart of Kensington market there are a lot of things to do in ... the area, and this is a great option. ATM on site. Plenty of tables for groups and seats at the bar.
