Reviews for The Dakota Tavern in Toronto, ON
Back to an old favourite with some old pals. Door person was a true class act! Give that guy a raise! It's hard to find good... people. Once we walked down the old flight of stairs, nostalgia came rushing back. Sound was great, vibe on point, and smilesthroughout the room. Still always a challenge to get to the bar to order, but with a bit of patience and kindness, you'rethere. Thanks for a great night! Read more
It was warm and dark inside. The stage had excellent lighting and sound system, so that one could see the show all the way from... the back. Having the washrooms inside the basement was a nice touch, so that one did not have to walk up and down the stairs toaccess the washrooms. Read more
Great venue for live music! The atmosphere is amazing, especially love the twinkle lights. Staff was lovely, the lady working... the bar was very helpful. My only complaint is that alcohol was incredibly expensive, but Toronto is always more expensive. Wewill be returning :) Read more
Bluegrass Brunch at 10am was a fantastic experience. Young families with kids running around and dancing. Excellent food.... Capable competent service. Wonderful bluegrass by Unseen Strangers. Great to see proper sound reinforcement early morning soyour breakfast is not washed out by music. Absolute recommend. Read more
You want date night ideas? Go see a show at the Dakota Tavern. It?s that easy. I?ve never been disappointed here. Waiting for a... beer at the bar might be a hassle, but only because Dakota packs out because the music is so damn good. Unreal venue ???? Read more
Great bar located in a fun area of Toronto. The main allure of The Dakota Tavern is the lovely live music acts they have... performing every week. Give their website a look before going out and see who is performing! Lots of great talent! Read more
We were looking for a place to have some beer and came across Dakota Tavern. It has a rustic ambience with live music... performance starting at 10 pm. However this is more of a place for live music enthusiasts. Does not serve food, only drinks. Read more
We went to see Discmen Saturday night and the band was amazing. The only thing that took away from this great experience was the... horrible service we received from the bartender. Any time you would order a drink from her it would seem like the biggestinconvenience to her. She would be audibly swearing/rolling her eyes if your order came out wrong (which was from her owndoing). Having worked in the hospitality industry I do sympathize for staff when they are that busy but when people dread goingup to order a drink because of the treatment you receive, there?s an issue.
