I like the « aura », the ambience and music is really chill and just gives good cozy vibes. I love the design of the space — both indoor and the outdoor patio. It seems like attention was paid to the details and it’s made with love. The drink I had; THE PENDENNIS NO A was delicious! One of the owners; Arda who was present at my time of visit was really nice and welcoming. I’m looking forward to visiting Ayra some more and enjoying all they haven’t offer!

We were a last minute large party but staff was super accommodating. We were able to be seated in their beautiful back patio. I wish the food menu offered more items but what we ordered was delicious nonetheless. Cocktails were all so good and had beautiful presentation. Will come back for date night!

Hello my favorite local bar with amazing cocktails. The brothers running this place are too cool for school 😎 and sweet and friendly. Beautiful backyard

They have a back patio that you can rent out for a minimum spend of $1000. Drinks are pretty good (loved the Scottish Kiss) and the staff are super nice. Their burgers (Friday and Saturday only I believe) are also pretty bomb.

I proposed here and then celebrated with friends and family here. The owner and staff were incredibly accommodating and helpful - doing all they could to make this a memorable and really fun time. I heard plenty of comments from guests about how great the food and drinks were. A big thank you to everyone that were involved in making this event happen.

Came across this bar while I was walking to White Lily Diner for brunch and found out it’s actually a really nice bar. Had to pop in with few other friends on a chill Tuesday night and had the most wonderful time with their staff. Amazing cocktails and had a great conversation with their bartender Bura(might have got it wrong🤣). Also their patio is really pretty too so make sure to check it out!

Best cocktail bar in Toronto. This is like the Violet Hour in Chicago. Best in class. Easy to walk by and miss, but you won't be sorry you went in. Phenomenal drinks. Scottish kiss and Roca Partida pictured. Very cool music and space, too.

We had a baby shower for my sister yesterday on Aura's patio. We had a perfect time there! Everything was amazing: the ambiance, the food, and the music! We drank the best mocktails/cocktails we have ever had. The staff was terrific. They were helpful, friendly, nice people. It was a wonderful experience for all of us. I would recommend everyone consider Aura if planning an event. Thank you, guys.

Hosted my boyfriend's birthday here at Aura's patio. Had 50 people here and everyone had a great time. All the drinks (cocktails AND mocktails) were phenomenal and appetizers were amazing! Arda and Andy are such amazing and accommodating hosts + Doruk the DJ was such a good vibe. Highly recommend coming here for casual drinks or hosting an event.

Lovely ambiance. Back patio has a nice design to it. The cocktails were amazing. I'll def be visiting very shortly. The bartenders were also very nice.

Came here on a Saturday night. Their patio at the back is amazing and had a live DJ playing music. Service was very friendly. Recommend coming here with friends for drinks and light bites.

We wanted to try Aura to find a good cocktail bar on the eastside of the city. We were not disappointed at all! The vibe, music and aesthetic were perfect for a date, drinks with friends or a solo night at the bar. The drinks were amazing. We ordered 4 different drinks off the menu and each was delicious in their own way. The bar tender explained each drink and it's ingredients to us which was excellent. Finally, we ordered a few plates off the menu and everything was excellent sizes, fresh and tasty. I will definitely be coming back!

For date night we had planned on going to the Distillery district Christmas Market and wanted a cocktail bar to enjoy without having to walk very far, as most specialty cocktail bars in Toronto seem to be on King Street. Aura was very nearby and went way above my expectations. The food menu is small and simple with a focus on quality that would make the difference for amount of available options. The red pepper hummus was house made, chunky and more flavor than I'd ever had in a spread before. We shared the truffle fries and they hit the spot, especially after all the walking that we did today. The cocktails that we came here for went way above and beyond what I had ever imagined. Almost everything used in their cocktails are house made, and change with the available resources. A tequila mezcal drink I enjoyed used spices only produced from turkey and the infusion with the tequila was unlike anything I have experienced before. It was my first time experiencing Aura and it definitely won't be the last. As great as the experience was the bartender and partner of the restaurant is what made the experience next level. He explained the stories behind the drinks and his process of infusion for everything that made it far more personable than most dining experiences I have had. Thank you so much for the experience! Anyone would be lucky to get a chance to try it themselves.

Great food, exceptional cocktails and the perfect covered-patio for a fun, atmospheric vibe! Thanks Arda, Arsen, Andy and team for making our birthday celebrations so memorable! Our guests loved walking into this hidden gem of a place to a warm welcome, great food and delicious cocktails. For anyone looking to host an event, the team had everything we needed and really made it as easy for us as possible. Would highly recommend Aura for dinner at their year-round patio or to host drinks parties/events. We already look forward to coming back!

Beautiful, cozy spot in the east end with incredibly well-crafted cocktails! Each one is unique and delicious without being overpowering. Must try for any drink aficionados.

Nice new cocktail bar! Drinks are creative and delicious - we enjoyed sitting at the bar. There is also a patio out the back with heating for larger groups!

Something is special about this place ! It was our first date choice on freezing January 2022 day during crazy pandemic. We got engaged a few months after , and about to get married now! Thank you Aura , you have our hearts forever ! ❤️❤️

Didnt expect such a spooky vibe but we loved it. Burning candles added such a great touch. And if that isnt your vibe you can go to the patio!

I hosted a birthday party here recently and it was wonderful! The ambience, flexibility, food and customer service were all really well done. The back patio (which is covered) was perfect for the party. It made for a very comfortable yet chic environment for the guests and I. Additionally, I loved that we could play our own music. I highly recommend Aura for hosting events!

Aura is such an amazing cocktail lounge! Staff are very welcoming and knowledgeable. They have a lovely variety of cocktails on the menu and they even make custom drinks to suit your individual taste. The atmosphere is very cute, perfect for date night!

Beautiful atmosphere, cocktails are amazing! Must visit in Toronto if you are looking for a cozy cocktail place.

Hubby & I enjoyed a couple of cocktails: Aloha Nani & Holy Driver on a Wednesday evening. The ambiance was just what we were looking for as it was quiet with comfortable seating. The service was great as our server helped us select drinks based on our respective preferences. The cocktail menu was also thoroughly laid out with customized descriptions for each (unique) drink. Our cocktails were well made & this was a lovely spot for a date night.

What a gem, absolutely love this place. The whole team is super friendly and welcoming. Cute covered back patio. Drinks are unique and well done, same with the food. Definitely try the deep fried olives, potato dish, and the fried chicken!

This place is amazing! Great cocktails and excellent service.

I visited on a Friday night with a friend. I really loved the back patio and the potato pave we ordered to snack on, as well as 2 of the 3 cocktails I ordered. The Ocean Eyes and Fall in On were both strong an delicious, but I did not love the Holy Driver. It was described as sweet/citrusy/refreshing but I found it overly bitter. Despite that, I will definitely be back to try more cocktails and food!

A tiny, but cozy place. Ended up here after some birthday events were completed. Cocktail was tasty, atmosphere and vibe of the place was great. Would return to try other cocktails. Well done.

Had a group event and booked the entire patio. Food, drinks, and service were all terrific. Big thank you to the staff and owner Arda for being super accommodating and making sure everything ran so smoothly. It was a great night !

We hosted our engagement party on their private back patio and it was AMAZING. Andy and his team worked with our budget to create a cocktail list and menu, it felt really personalized and everybody loved it so much! The cocktails were incredible (as always) and the food was absolutely delicious! It's not easy to impress a large Italian family, and they definitely pulled it off. We can't thank them enough for making our day so special, and will recommend Aura to anyone looking for a really cool venue for a party, cocktails with friends, or a romantic date night.

I am absolutely thrilled with my experience at this establishment. Words cannot adequately express my appreciation for the exceptional hospitality, delectable food, and delightful beverages offered here. The entire staff consists of extraordinary individuals who are genuinely dedicated to ensuring your utmost satisfaction. Recently, I organized a birthday event on their charming patio, and it exceeded all expectations. The unique cocktails they serve are an absolute revelation, unlike anything you have ever tasted before. Whether you're planning a party or any other occasion, they effortlessly handle every aspect, guaranteeing an unforgettable and enjoyable time. Undoubtedly, this is the finest cocktail bar in Toronto that I wholeheartedly recommend to everyone!

Stylish and cozy cocktail bar with exceptionally well crafted and unique drinks. Also a great selection of spirits if you are just looking to try some new. Recommend for any in the area looking for to grab a drink and try something new.

This place is amazing. I love Aura's cocktails. Andy is amazing person and best cocktail shaker in town. There is back patio and ambiance is are incredible. When you go to back patio you will feel like Amazon jungle. The wall painting are so original. If you want drink of high quality cocktails, you have to try Aura.
