- Date Night: The modernist cocktails are the way to go. They're a bit pricey and they're absolutely worth it. More than two of you? Get a punch bowl. (472 is my pick) The Only Bar With a Michelin Star.
- Ariana VoyerMay 3, 2017Worth the $30 price tag for one cocktail, epic pictures and a sensory one-of-a-kind experience. Order from the Modernist menu and arrive at 6 when they open! I recommend the Spring Thaw.
- Burce ısıkOctober 14, 2015best bar in the world, best cocktails in the world, best barchef in the world frankie solarik knows his stuff, have been there countless times each time is a different experience, you can't go wrong
- katherine torresSeptember 16, 2012This is a perfect place to take a first date! You can really tell a lot about a person based on the drinks they order, lol. And the Bar Chef's here can conjure up a drink based on your tastes as well.
- Erika PerziSeptember 6, 2017One of a kind drink experience, where cocktails and culinary worlds collide with creativity. Drinks are expensive but well worth it. Found nothing like it elsewhere!
- Andrea MacKinnonNovember 6, 2018A cocktail experience you can’t miss. You’ll enjoy creative cocktails in an intimate environment. You won’t regret splurging for something on the Modernist Cocktails menu.
- HanBi KOctober 29, 2015Be aware they dont have food-food menu... They have from $10 drinks to as expensive as $60 or even more. A perfect place for couples and dates!! Im not sure about just girls or just boys... Loll
- Jane ZhangSeptember 20, 2012Give the molecular cocktails a try. The Transformation is a drink meant to be sipped. Take your time and enjoy each phase. It's like four drinks in one! Need at least 35min for one drink. :)
- Julia LancNovember 8, 2018Entice all your senses here. Words can't even begin to describe the sensory experience you will get. You want your drink to have smoke? Done. Try the Sailor's Mojito - it will not disappoint.
- BrommaboApril 13, 2016Try the modernist if you want to try molecular cocktail, its smoke, snow, flowers and smells. Even they are little expensive (from 25 CAD) they are worth the price.
- CITY GRITAugust 1, 2014Frankie Solarik is a genius! We’re not usually blown away by the “molecular” cocktail thing, but we must admit we were a little too excited for the Mojito Ravioli!
- Mathilde JulietteMarch 10, 2013Mindblowing, staff is nice gives instructions explain how the molecular drinks are made! For a first time, to live the whole experience the molecular drink are more then worth the price!
- Ben RigneyMay 13, 2018One of the best cocktail bars I have ever been to. I wouldn’t be surprised if this ends up making lists for “best bars in the world.”
- AnissaSeptember 18, 2014The manhattan and black truffle were the best! The mojito had an interesting presentation but tastes like a regular mojito.
- MichaelFebruary 26, 2017One of the best cocktails I've ever had (a fairly pricey one too). "Northern winter"or something? It tasted like eggnog meets White Russian ✨
- MarvinSeptember 8, 2014The ambience at this bar is absolutely phenomenal. And the smoked Manhattan will have you out of this world and with an empty wallet!
- Mark CoySeptember 17, 2011Known Frankie for years. Great guy, great BarChef. We've been loyal since the beginning. Happy to have tried the 'Marley' Bowl. Highly recommend, if you come with more than 3 people.
- Nina IordanovaJuly 30, 2016The Modernist cocktails will make your entire week! The bartenders and wait staff are so so so great as well.
- Chris BoutetJanuary 26, 2012Have to try the vanilla and hickory-smoked Manhattan, but at $45, I'll wait for a special occasion. In the meantime, the Newly Fashioned is an excellent anyday alternative.
- Amazing spot old school speak easy vibe and just phenomenal drinks. Great place for a night out just to chill and relax.
- Andrew WisemanNovember 5, 2015A pretty cool spot, but very expensive and they mostly use kind of average alcohol in the drinks. Tasty though, and the bartenders will explain what everything is. Worth a visit.
- Try the Freestyle ($14). You tell them what kind of alcohol you want as a base + the type of flavor/taste & they construct a drink.
- Ozge YFebruary 25, 2017100% the place to impress. Modernist cocktails are adventurous and appeal to all senses. Dimly lit and hip.
- Maneesha GuptaOctober 27, 2013Sophisticated, healthy, flavorful and fresh food! Enjoyed the fettuccine and sliders. Take a pass on the crispy oysters! Relaxing aura!
- Steve ZanettiJanuary 15, 2023Smoked Manhattan and Spring Thaw are classic. Best cocktails in Toronto.
- MariaApril 7, 2011Great place! I wanted a vodka coctail and after trying what I spotted on the menu, I asked the bartender to use his imagination and make smthing different...it was amazing!
- Patricia KoyichOctober 18, 2015This is a must! The cocktails are not cheap, but the experience will change your life! 🍸🍸💯🙋🏻
- Erika PerziMay 29, 2017Drinks are pricey, but definitely worth it. Absolutely love the fusion of senses and sweet/savory.
- Adam WilliamsJanuary 13, 2019Great date spot. Excellent atmosphere and every cocktail I tried was incredible.
- the BREL teamMarch 17, 2012The most serious cocktail bar in the city. All handmade ingredients, with prices to match...dare we say they are actually worth the price? There. We said it.
- Krisha MarcanoOctober 15, 2015So fantastic! Crafted drinks like you've seen. A true culinary experience!
- Sherry StoneFebruary 4, 2016There's some crazy next-level cocktail artistry going on here. I don't want to give away any spoilers, so just take my word for it and go.
- A magical place where they mix potions that will take your breath away. Cocktails & absinthe!
- Save up some $$ and treat yourself to a few cocktails here. They're not cheap, but they're worth every penny! Recommended: Sailor's Mojito, Van Gogh's Downfall, Strawberry Shortcake and Basil Daquiri!
- Great place for one of a kind cocktails and a cool ambience. Get a seat at the bar to watch the master mixologists in action. Cheers!
- Kristina GringogidgetJune 21, 2015Frankie's cocktails will transcend you to another dimension. Picture cartoon heart and bubbles circling your head while tuxedoed bartenders drop a bowl of psychedelic booze soup in your lap.
- Frankie remembers his guests and is the consummate host. A good man and a great bar. Order one of the best Corpse Reviver No. 2s in the city.
- TOFoodReviewsJanuary 8, 2012barchef: pricey, science experiment-like cocktails, molecular magic, trendy-like ambience, $45 Manhattans : 3/5
- GerryOctober 3, 2014I found that the place lacked character and didn't really enjoy the experience. It is also a very long wait to get in. Lots of other options in the area.
- Toky KFebruary 20, 2011amazing variety of cocktails! The bartenders are truly amazing and fun to watch. Try the smoked vanilla Manhattan !!
- HinaJune 16, 2017Meh, it's great for novelty. The drinks are more for aesthetics than actual drinking. Extremely overpriced. Probably won't be going back, but worth checking out once just for the experience.
- Shawna KDecember 30, 2012Molecular cocktails are worth the hype. The Black Truffle really DOES taste like black truffles.
- Almond and Sour Saffron are the best from sweet and sour cocktails!
