Grizzly Bar, which opened in April 2025, is billed as Toronto’s first fully Canada‑themed bar & grill. Located on the second floor at 739 Queen Street West, it’s an immersive homage to everything iconic about Canada: coast‑to‑coast eats, Canadian beers, curated SCTV and hockey content, and playful nostalgic décor featuring a nine‑foot inflatable grizzly and atmospheric projections of Canadian landscapes. The menu is proudly local—Montreal smoked meat, Alberta beef burgers, vegan poutine with Collingwood’s VEGCHEESE, butter tarts, and more. All desserts, buns, and inputs are sourced from Canadian producers. Drink list? All‑Canadian: over 30 beers, ciders, seltzers and Ontario wines plus spirits like Arctic‑botanical gin from Québec and local bourbon‑style whiskey from Felix Spirits in Toronto. Grizzly isn’t just about food and drinks—it’s also a dynamic social space. With themed nights like karaoke, comedy, trivia, open‑mic (“OH MIC! CANADA”), live music, and even an “apology contest,” the bar aims to stage Canadian culture with a wink and a laugh. They even accept Canadian Tire money as payment, and periodically run playful promotions like “free poutine for new citizens,” maple syrup giveaways, and a “Canuck Check” quiz that enters winners into annual syrup draws. With warm, upbeat Canadian hospitality, floor‑to‑ceiling Canadiana, upbeat entertainment programming, and a menu built around national pride, Grizzly Bar is both an experience and a celebration of Canada. Perfect if you love cocktails, craft beers, nostalgia, or just want a fun themed night out.
