The Rivoli

This would be my regular spot if I lived in Toronto. Love the general vibe of this place. A few bottles of bubbly and pool goes just nicely together with friends!

Great outdoor seating for people watching along Queen St. Good food for both apps as light snacks or a full meal.

Great patio , and there's a concert venue in the back. Keep an eye out on its website for acts.

The Riv began life as a vaudeville and burlesque hall in the 1920s. By the early 80s, it had evolved into a music and art space, complete with a restaurant as New Wave took over the Queen West strip.

I would recommend anyone around the area to come enjoy their amazing fresh food !

Next time I will go for grub and pool. Cuz this time I went for Wordburglar.

Great place to drink beer and play pool !

The food in this place is among the best on the Queen St. strip, and the bands are eclectic .

They have the best burger for the price (under $10)! It always comes with caramelized onions and the best sweet potato fries in the city !

Pool tables upstairs are great.
