Kensington Socials is a Kensington Market sports bar and social lounge built around burgers, wings, poutine, pizza, cocktails, draft beer, live music, patio seating, and game-night groups. The current menu has enough range for a full casual dinner, with weekday happy hour giving the bar program a clear entry point.

Black Sheep is a third-floor Irish cocktail bar in Liberty Village, open Wednesday through Saturday until 2 a.m. The draw is high-end cocktails, a patio room, and a pub menu with Traditional Irish Spice Bag, Irish Espresso Martini, Black Sheep Nachos, Guinness BBQ Sliders, and zero-proof cocktails.

Last Temptation is an old-school Kensington Market pub/cafe with a low-price, cross-genre menu: house-named eggs, made-in-house vegetarian spring rolls, French onion soup, Pad Thai, perogies, pita pizza, cocktails, and patio-leaning late-night energy.
