LAIDE (138 Adelaide East, 416-850-2726) This lascivious lounge lives up to its name, with more upholstery than a 50s centrefold.
STONES PLACE (1255 Queen West, 416-536-4242) Parkdale your ass on Stones’ acres of cushions. Looks like your grandmother’s living room if the she was an Exile on Main Street.
GREEN ROOM (296 Brunswick, 416-929-3253) Performs a valuable transitional service for U of T students suffering from parental sofa withdrawal.
SWEATY BETTY’S (13 Ossington, 416-535-6861) Okay, it’s only got one couch, but the back room is choice, and if you manage to cop the chesterfield you’re going to have a warm, smug and snug feeling all night long.
LIVING WELL (692 Yonge, 416-922-6770) If your idea of living well is lounging on a motley collection of couches in an upstairs bar with a bunch of Yonge-streeters – and whose isn’t? – then come on up.
LOBBY (192 Bloor West, 416-929-7169) For the best view of the architectural freakorama that is the ROM Crystal, drop your designer jeans onto one of Lobby’s chic seats.
