Because these spas double as cocktail bars
FOR BUBBLY The Nail and Champagne Bar 416-992-4711
This mani and champagne service comes to you, with a rainbow of colour options and nail art, plus a customizable bubbly bar. French sommelier Samuel Quartier will curate a tasting menu that includes options unavailable at the LCBO.
FOR FRUITY DRINKS Her Majesty’s Pleasure 556 King St. W., 416-546-4991
The mani-pedi palace Her Majesty’s Pleasure puts the bar in nail bar, with decor as Insta-worthy as the coolest new cocktail spot. The spa services (rejuvenating facials, full-body massages, gel manicures) are great. The drinks, like the Revenge is Passion with Tito’s, chambord, egg white and fresh pomegranate, are even better.
FOR BEER The Ritz-Carlton 181 Wellington St. W., 416-585-2500
The hotel’s signature Blokes and Beer service is everything an evolved Bay Streeter could ask for: a full-body massage, facial purification (pores, bruh) and a “Man-E-Cure” to keep those cuticles hand shake ready. Kick back with a couple of cold ones (Mill Street Organic Lager) in the lounge area when you’re done.
FOR SCOTCH AND CIGARS Rod, Gun and Barbers 2877 Dundas St. W., 647-350-6446
This Junction shop is an ode to old-school hunting and fishing clubs, with tufted sofas, whiskey galore and occasional live band performances. The Gentleman package includes a cut, a cocktail and a stogie; high rollers can kick it up a notch with The King (single-malt scotch and a Monte Cristo).
FOR HIPSTER COCKTAILS Barber and Co. 89 Ossington Ave., 416-551-9707
Come for the pitch-perfect modern pompadours, stay for the secret cocktail bar in back, where a bartender known as Mr. H mixes some of the city’s most innovative tipples—the Breakfast of Champions has Wild Turkey, Cinzano Rosso, dry curaçao marmalade, coffee and tobacco bitters. The bar gets going when the barbershop closes around 8 p.m., so popping in around 7 is ideal.
