👍 Great interior decor, great service, and great place to hang out and chill with the homies. Their food is surprisingly yummy for a bar, for some reason their tzatziki sauce was hitting extra hard. Also the shrimp toast got a dimsum feel to it, it was very comforting. I cannot speak to the cafe side... People often mention great, good, cocktails, drinks,

    Great interior decor, great service, and great place to hang out and chill with the homies. Their food is surprisingly yummy for a bar, for some reason their tzatziki sauce was hitting extra hard. Also the shrimp toast got a dimsum feel to it, it was very comforting. I cannot speak to the cafe side of things for now, but one day I will be back to check it out!

    If I remember correctly this place is the same where boxcar social used to me and I really liked that place. 11:59 continues the tradition with a cozy yet sleek interior with a wonderful ambience. We just went for a drink but came out surprised ordering the same one thrice on top of others. Dimitri, the bartender is a master at his craft who takes times to not make but create some of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. Coconut Noir is hands down one of the best I have ever had and definitely the best I had this summer. You MUST try it. 11:59 was my second favourite from the menu.

    The interior is gorgeous--a section for seating that is lounge-y (with beautiful green sofas and complete with neon lights by evening) and an area great for dates AND working by day! So comfortable! It was such a great catch up spot with a friend--delicious food/snacks and drinks (price is really good considering the area). Dan, the bartender was super friendly! The drinks were pretty and delicious--I'll be back to try their coffee (they source from Hatch so you know it's good)! There is wifi for your work from home / digital nomad needs with great coffee and I did see pastries available :) The downside--Temperance is on a side/alley like street but I personally love it because it is quiet. Parking is scarce but it's right downtown close to Osgood / King station.

    The lounge was such a vibe 🤍 It was moody and intimate but still felt spacious and comfortable. This spot is a gem in the area. The drinks were divine with the coconut noir tasting rich and like dessert in a glass but not overwhelmingly sweet. The amethyst was so pretty and such a joy to just look at and the botanical spritz was my kinda drink! Refreshing and bubbly~ The small plates were tasty and really good for the light nibbles while chatting the night away 🤍 Don’t expect crazy large plates or mains i feel like this is spot you go for little bites. The service was also lovely and overall it was a really good experience!

    11:59 is a really cute place to go. The cocktails are great. By far our favorite was the 11:59. We had the truffle fries and the Beef carpaccio. Both really good if you are looking for an app. We were sitting at the bar so we watched everything get prepped infront of our eyes so we saw other orders too. Everything was done with a lot of attention to detail. Would recommend!

    my one of the favourite(wanna keept it secret) cocktail bar in Toronto! I love the calm atmosphere there, and it's not too noisy, making it a great place for conversations. The interior is charming and clean, allowing for both casual & dating experience. I tried the truffle fries, and I think they had Parmesan cheese in them. The unique flavor of the cheese blended perfectly with the truffle, and the potato fries were thin fries, but they remained crispy without getting soggy. Even though I arrived just before closing time, the female server was incredibly kind, welcoming, and accommodating. She even said we can stay chill and relaxed, no need to rush, which I really appreciated. I tried several cocktails, and personally, I think it would be even better if they had more unique cocktails that match the interior, in addition to their signature cocktails.

    Have returned. A real nice decor and ambiance with great drinks/bar let down by passable food for dinner. Don't get me wrong, the food is good, but for the ambiance, it sets your expectations higher. Amazing lighting for taking food pics !! Kebabs - Par, cooked well, clean flavours but passable. Shrimp Toast - The favourite for the night. Shareable between 2. Good bar snack. Macaroni - Not bad actually, but passable. Carpaccio - Decent and worth trying. Meatballs - classic flavours, good bar snack but nothing too special. Sliders - Passable. Lunch options are pretty decent so would recommend trying that out. Smoked Duck Sandwich - really good flavours. 5 slivers of duck. They may as well replace it with more chicken and call it a day. Takes AMEX. Really good vibes and ambiance. Definitely more of a 1 or 2 drink and dip place rather than a sit-down.

  • 5/5 Anthony S (instantonium at I. 3 months ago on Google • 468 reviews New
    Love the concept with it being a cafe during the day and a bar at night. The drinks are very tasty and while their food menu is limited, what they do offer is decent. And the decor is not bad either. They do get quite packed right after 6:30 range so make sure to get there a little early or make reservations!

    This is a fantastic spot for a light dinner and great conversation with a date or group of friends! Aside from the construction in the area, it is centrally located in GTA. During our visit, we got to experience a special event with bursleque from @letsgetlostcabaret and savored their featured Sparkling Amythest cocktail in addition to delightful combination of other drinks, alongside a tasty Crispy cauliflower salad with Chicken added. The highlight for me was definitely the Beef Tartare - a must-try! Overall enjoyable experience and will be back again!

    This bar is amazing! One the best bars to try new unusual cocktails in Toronto. Dmitriy is such a good bartender that has a great expertise and can always recommend and show you everything. Kate recommended us Beef Carpaccio and Truffle Parmesan Fries that are our favorite dishes here. We come all the time here to chat and spend time in nice chill and friendly atmosphere. 100/100
