Bar Mordecai, affectionately known as "Mordy" by locals, is a standout cocktail bar located in Toronto's vibrant Dundas West neighborhood. Drawing inspiration from the whimsical aesthetics of Wes Anderson films, the bar exudes the charm of vintage hotel lobbies, creating an inviting and nostalgic atmosphere. The menu, crafted by Bahraini-Canadian Chef Suman Ali Sayed, features a selection of shareable plates that blend Iberian influences with modern flair. Guests can enjoy dishes like cauliflower fatteh, sea bream crudo, and roasted bone marrow with Yemeni hot sauce. Complementing the food is a thoughtfully curated drinks list, offering local and international beers, a diverse wine selection, and inventive cocktails such as the "Content Creator" and "New Rizz." Downstairs, the Green Room Bar provides a cozy lounge experience, leading to four private karaoke rooms, each themed after iconic music eras. These rooms—Pop, Jolene, Vegas, and Elvis—offer guests a unique and entertaining way to enjoy their evening. Regular rooms accommodate up to 12 guests, while the larger room fits up to 20, with booking options available for various group sizes. Bar Mordecai's commitment to community is evident through events that support women, people of color, and the LGBTQ+ community, spearheaded by bartender-owner Christina Veira, recipient of the 2022 Roku Industry Icon Award. Recognized for its excellence, Bar Mordecai has been ranked among North America's 50 Best Bars, securing the No. 37 spot in 2025.
