BEBA
614 College, 416-533-2322
VIBE Another College Street lounge, and relatively new. Unlike much of the competition, it’s not trying as hard to have a dual identity as a restaurant, and it has a bit of dance floor space in the back. You’ll hear variations on house most of the time, but watch out for Beba’s special attraction – the Drumming DJ. Yes, he DJs and drums at the same time.
VALUE Like the rest of the area, there’s generally no cover charge. The drinks aren’t dirt cheap but are reasonable compared to what the neighbours are offering.
BATHROOMS Acceptably clean and functional but with none of the quirky design sense on view in the rest of the bar. Standard white tiles and fluorescents.
LINEUP There’s no patio, so you might see a crowd of people outside by the door smoking. That’s not a queue, and you probably won’t ever see one.
