Cool

Spice Route

499 King W, at Brant, 416-849-1808. Club land’s hottest meat market, this flashy Vegas-style lounge may be a zoo Friday and Saturday nights, but its tiki-tastic wraparound deck, complete with koi pond, is a chill zone by day. $$$

Ultra

314 Queen W, at Peter, 416-263-0330. Once the legendary Bamboo’s rooftop revel, this swanky South Beach-style lounge may have relaxed its restrictive door policy but its Monday night lobster specials continue. Pseudo-celebrity DJs, too. $$$

Classic

Black Bull

298 Queen W, at Soho, 416-593-2766. Partially covered and with 200-plus seats right on the curb, the hip strip’s busiest boozer offers front-row seats for downtown’s most entertaining people-watching. $$

Rene Paquette serves up the suds at the Black Bull.

Great Food

Fifth Grill

225 Richmond W, at Duncan, 416-979-3005. Accessed from a back-alley freight elevator, this tented French-country rooftop oasis dishes up bison burgers and lobster poutine to the sounds of live jazz every Thursday from 7 pm. $$$
