Always my go-to spot in the Ossington community! I love the creative fusion here—such unique and delicious flavors. They always have my favorite drinks. Snacks and food are good too. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend, we loved it! Fantastic drinks (he made us a custom cocktail which was delicious, also recommend either sour cocktail.) Food was amazing, the tofu was our favourite. Chill vibes, good music. Must try.

We had a 50 person surprise birthday party planned and it couldn't have gone any better; the atmosphere was incredible, the food and drinks were superb and the staff was incredibly friendly and catering to all of our guests. The owner, Michael Zhang, went above and beyond to ensure the event was personalized and all of our needs were met leading up to the event. He was communicative, even jumping on calls in the middle of the day, to discuss small details that would make sure the event went ahead flawlessly. He even created unique drinks and a personalized menu that catered to the birthday girl's personality. Very reasonable minimum spend, individual billing, great sound system, clean bar through and through. Couldn't ask for a better experience.

Fantastic and unique drinks with a great atmosphere and outstanding service! I had a great time here together with my husband. I wanted to try the cocktails and went for the Feng Shui first, it tasted fresh and had a light feeling cocktail with just a little sweetness, perfectly chilled and in a cold glass the bar tender really knows his craft! As a second drink I wanted to try the Crysanthemum gin Fuzz from the tea series. This drink was also light and airy, fresh but of course was more of a tea feel and not sweet. Definitely delicious and I was glad I tried it. If you only want one tho, I would go with the Feng Shui, but that's also because I'm a Lychee fan! I'm definitely going to come back soon to try more on their cocktail menu!

Worth Trying. Would come back to this place - got lucky at 10pm with a table for 6, otherwise packed. Tried their namesake drink. Comes out smoked, tastes more like a meaty meal and licorice. Slightly sweet. Low spirits. Drinks $23+ Doesn't take AMEX.

The Opium Bar is a hidden gem where cocktails are pure artistry and fried chicken is a revelation. The mixology here is unparalleled—each drink is a symphony of flavors. And don't miss the fried chicken; it's a crispy, flavorful delight. The bar's ambiance is captivating, a perfect blend of modern elegance and comfort. Whether for drinks, bites, or ambiance, The Opium Bar is an exceptional experience that lingers on the senses.

Absolutely amazing, worth every penny for this unique experience. I've gone there a few times, and every time I do, the inventive, wonderfully crafted, and wholly original cocktails blow my mind. The cocktail house had a welcoming atmosphere, with dim lighting and comfortable seating arrangements. The drinks at the cocktail house were expertly crafted, with a perfect balance of flavors and just the right amount of alcohol. The bartender was knowledgeable and friendly, taking the time to explain the ingredients and techniques used in each cocktail. The service at the cocktail house was excellent, and the server was a key part of making my evening memorable ( Especially Annie Chen, she was the best service I've ever met). The food served was also delicious and paired well with the drinks. The prices were reasonable, considering the quality of the drinks and the overall experience. Overall, the cocktail house was a great spot for a night out with friends or a romantic date, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a quality cocktail experience.
