A person lounging on a chair with a drink. Right: Bar Sous Sol.
Speakeasy bars in Toronto are some of the most mysterious and playful places to get your drink on in the city.
Regular Toronto bars are great for a casual night out, but if you're looking for a more dimly lit and intimate setting fueled by the reminiscent days of the prohibition era, a hidden bar may be the way to go.
Toronto is filled with underground gems like A Toi, hidden behind a champagne room in Coffee Oysters and Champagne or Cry Baby Gallery, which from the outside looks like a quaint boutique gallery but has a roaring bar behind it.
If you're craving a night of adventure under a cloak of secrecy, where you may need a password to get in, here are six secret bars you may want to check out.
