Awesome experience at Char No. 5 - not your typical "hotel bar". Old fashioned is excellent - not too sweet, perfect balance. Pisco Sour and Espresso Martini variations were excellent as well. Tried the Tuna on Crispy Rice and the Corn Tempura - both were great appetizers and nice portions. Had "The Six" for dessert and it was excellent as well. But the BEST part of the experience is the service - both Eric and Abdisa were a pleasure to talk to. They gave excellent recommendations, were patient while we made some decisions and were genuinely nice guys. Absolutely recommend this spot if in downtown Toronto!

It’s a good place for some drinks and tiny bites! They have a very good version of fancy poutine. Maybe not an ideal place for dinner but if you are eating here, maybe skip the burger and get small bites or the seafood pasta.

The mixologist was great and accommodating. Definitely worth trying out, though a little pricey.

Eric makes fabulous gin cocktails based on your tastes! He customized a martini for me using Hendrick’s Neptunia that was amazing! For food we had the Prosciutto Rolls and Boulangere Flatbread - both of which were delicious.

We popped into this bar on a whim on a Saturday night, and had such a great time. Great selection of whiskies and a super knowledgeable bartender who was able to walk us through the options. He was patient & attentive and made us a custom flight upon request! The fries we ordered were great too. Highly recommend if you want a low-key place to enjoy a quality drink where you can actually have a conversation.

This bar is on the immediate left when you enter Delta. The drinks are good and the staff is friendly. It's got two separate spaces, and the seats are very comfortable.

I have been there several times and really enjoyed the atmosphere. It's casual, "chic" and staff is very competent and friendly. They also have a good selection of cocktails and fancy whiskeys. Note that this bar in the hotel lobby and can sometimes be pretty busy or be booked for private functions.

Chill lounge environment that has space for multiple types of parties. I went with a group of 9 after a raptors game and it was a convenient location. Be aware that for parties over 6 you all have to have one tab. However, the space is accommodating and we were able to get a comfortable set up in the back. The servers were attentive and remembered our orders.
