If you're talking about Toronto staples, look no further than The Monarch Tavern, which has been one of the city's institutions since 1927. Whatever vibe you're looking for can be achieved at the Little Italy hotspot, which boasts a cafe and cocktail bar on the main floor and a cozy pub with microbrews upstairs. In addition to a nice-sized patio, the Monarch also hosts live music, private functions, sports events and more, and carries a menu to match:  Think pub fare like a selection of sliders, fish & chips, sticky toffee pudding and more.
