El Furniture Warehouse

“It’s not exactly like a dive bar, but it’s got that kind of dive bar esthetic,” says Sean Young, one of the owners of the Canadian restaurant mecca El Furniture Warehouse. “It’s just a really fun environment. The music is great, all rock, punk and hip hop, and all the items on the menu are $5.95 — pastas, burgers, quesadillas, desserts, everything is $5.95.” We know what you’re thinking: $5.95 for a restaurant meal? You must be joking. Well we kid you not, El Furniture Warehouse has become Toronto’s most popular dive bar chain and has grown from one to four locations since its opening in 2014. El Furniture’s food is seriously good value, and with plenty of party atmosphere, this is one of the best places to go for cheap eats and a good time.
