NEVER BEFORE HAS OUR SELECTION OF CANADA’S BEST BARS BEEN SO DIVERSE. There are quirky wine bars, open-all-day aperitivo spaces and intimate cocktail lounges. There are high-volume bars and ones that seat just a handful of people. There are bars that celebrate Vietnamese heritage and those that explore fermentation. Below, you’ll find reviews of all of the above.
Thank you to our panel of cross-country judges. We asked them to rank their five top bar experiences over the last 16 months. They could not vote for a bar in which they had a personal or financial interest and they were required to include one bar outside their home province or region.
