This Queen Street West bar is making a name for itself among its contemporaries for its wicked small-batch cocktails and homemade modern pub fare that’ll keep you coming back for more. Councillor is a chic bar. The interior is stylish but not pretentious, luring in a different crowd every night. You can usually find some sports fans here, as the TVs behind the bar are most likely playing whatever game is on that evening. The cocktail menu is stocked with all the staples, as well as a couple house inventions created by the mixologist and head bartender. The menu is peppered with international influence but remains pretty mainstream in its options. Take the bar fare classic: chicken wings. Well instead of hot wings, at Councillor, they’re whipping up some Korean-style wings in a sweet and sticky sauce that’ll make you reconsider the term “pub food” altogether.
