Reviews for Char No.5 Whisky Bar in Toronto, ON
Walked in at 12:15 am, and this place apparently closes at 2am. The guy at the bar said sorry, Google has got it wrong and that... they were taking the last call and were closed for the night. Firstly this error is not acceptable from a 5 star hotel,especially because they sounded like they were aware of it, and secondly, the place was full. I would have expected them tooffer to serve at least one drink, considering we were already there and the error on the time was not from our end. Usually aMarriott fan, but this leaves a bad taste.

Awesome selection of Whiskies.. Hidden little gem in the lobby of the Delta hotel.. Great way to try different scotches before... bung thy bottle! Bartenders also great on recommendations on what to try! Prices a bit steep compared to some others withsimilar 1oz pours.. Still would recommend! Read more
A lovely lounge with modern decor, a warm atmosphere, excellent service, and a thoughtful and enticing menu. Our favourites were... the Thanatos (with the charming toasted marshmallow pictured below), which was a perfect holiday cocktail that was rich andfestive but not too heavy or sickly sweet, and the Spritz Royale which was refreshing and featured a host of ingredients thatwere favourites in our party. It's worth mentioning again that the service we received from two separate servers was outstandingand reflected a consistently high standard of customer experience. Looking forward to returning!

I will say that this is a conditional four-star. The selection of Scotch is phenomenal, and priced affordably. The service left... something to be desired, but it may be an isolated incident. At the end of they day, they have one of the widest selection ofIslay and Speyside single malts in Toronto. The glass says bowmore, but it?s a Laphroiag 10. Read more
Great late night spot after a game. Fantastic cocktails (try the Smokey Jefferson), an extensive whisky menu, tasting flights,... and super knowledgeable staff! Read more
Friendly server. Very helpful and charismatic. Nice ambiance. Awesome whiskey selection from around the world as well as... interesting cocktails to try. Great place to hangout before going to the CN tower or the Ripley's Aquarium just next door. Willcome again! Read more
Whisky bars are hard to come by. Great whisky bars with creative bartenders even more rare. Come and say hi to Ray at Char No. 5... and ask him for A Trip to Spain. I promise you will love it. The rare whisky collection is simply magical. Read more
A whisky bar with an online menu that hasn't been updated in two years. Really? You don't even have to print new menus, just... update your online menus it's not that hard. Otherwise a chill place to hang out, and drink a $20 old fashioned, I guess. Read more
