Okay, with inflation, it's more than a dime. Toronto bars - follow their lead! Everyone loves playing DJ, and if you stock a good jukebox, it will be hard for patrons to hit a wrong note.

Dive bars, Martini: The jukebox is fantastic and the crowd that frequents there knows how to to pick them. I spent all night saying, "I love this song". Also, the bartender makes a mean martini.

The bartender has discovered the magic equilibrium of vodka and vermouth that makes them go down so easy. Combined with the awesome jukebox, this place makes for a great late night - if you can get a seat.

Hidden Gem: This is one of those places that you almost don't want to share, so you can enjoy keeping it to yourself a little longer.

I had passed it on the streetcar several times and saw the hip crowd spilling out onto the street to smoke and chat - but, due to the sign, "Cafe Dong Phuong", I was confused and just thought it was a really cool neighborhood Vietnamese restaurant.

Who doesn't love a jukebox? And this one has one of the best selections in the city - rivaling even the Communists Daughter.

I also *loved* their washrooms. Wallpapered with yearbook pages from the sixties, it was amusing to read all the anachronistic career aspirations.

Sweaty Betty's

Casual Bar: Skip the mixed drinks and grab a beer at the bar.

Small and cozy, with my favorite feature - a jukebox! I love the old sofas and the vintage tattoo art.
