T.O.’S 100 BEST BARS A Neighbourhood- By-neighbourhood Survey Of The City’s Top Drinking Spots As dance clubs get bigger and downtown restaurants turn into DJ-driven supper clubs cum lounges, trying to find a good ol’ fashioned saloon where you can kick back with friends after work in a familiar setting can drive you to drink. In that spirit, we present NOW’s third annual lineup of T.O.’s most essential dives, gin joints and watering holes. Bottoms up! ... DOWNTOWN LAIDE 138 Adelaide East, at Jarvis, 416-850-2726 This touchie-feelie sex-themed lounge provides a space where clandestine lovers can canoodle on low-slung sofas while sipping a Deep Throat (Frangelico, vanilla vodka and cream). The after-work crowd bangs back a pint of Stella (Laide Editors Note: Guess NOW had one too many.. we do not serve Pints! Bottles only..) at the horseshoe-shaped bar while grainy girl-on-girl porn gets projected on a wall overhead. Sexy tapas from chef Sam Gassira. Open Tuesday to Friday 5 pm to 2 am, Saturday 7 pm to 2 am. Closed Sunday and Monday.
