Only the best vodka, lime, ginger syrup and ginger beer find their way into a Moscow Mule at this secret cocktail society on College Street. The Toronto Temperance Society features a range of classic cocktails, Italian fare, and gorgeous garden patio, and the interior is modelled after the speakeasies of the Prohibition era. But note: you’ll need a membership or to be brought as a guest to this swanky spot – it’s a semi-private venue.
Should you find yourself in Little Italy with a hankering for some whiskey, stop into the Toronto Temperance Society. This place is a little on the pricey side – with memberships at $285/year – but if you have a friend with one they can bring along three guests. With its speakeasy décor and lovable bartenders, the TTS will make you feel like you’re at a Gatsby party. Don’t forget to try their delectable cheese platters and their diverse whiskey list.
