    An Asian fusion snack bar with tapas style plates for sharing. Came here with some friends and started off with a round of shots. Their shots come in cute Chinese tea cups with chase of cilantro mint juice. Not my favourite type of chase but it was an interesting one. The place is small and best for small groups rather than larger groups. The snacks were great to munch on before dinner. Here's what we got: Chicken wings 5/5 - Loved this. It was crispy and juicy on the inside. Served with a wedge of lemon and an aioli dipping sauce. Would get this dish again. Korean fried chicken 5/5 - This was delicious with the gochujang sauce tossed on the fried chicken. Great for sharing without getting your fingers dirty. Steak tartare 3/5 - I thought this was okay and not the best I've had. Probably can skip on this dish. Foie gras torchon 4/5 - This was a great sharable bite. The foie gras comes with a crusted sweet top and blueberry compote on the side. Spicy tuna hand roll 3.5/5 - This took quite a while to come out for some reason and we had to ask for it a couple of times. It was okay as an order, can probably skip on this. Overall it's a great place to go for small bites. Service is friendly. Would come back!

    416 Snack Bar has such a fun vibe. I went with a friend for a walk in on the weekend for dinner. We ordered a few small bites and a diet coke each. Would definitely go again!

    Came here with friends for some afternoon snacks, not really to drink, and the server seemed a bit annoyed by that. The food was hit or miss, and very tiny portions for a high price. The Reuben sandwich was probably the best tasting thing I had. The Korean fried chicken and general TSO-fu was ok. The Bao and eggplant sandwich were ok too according to my friends. There wasn't really anything to justify the price... The kitchen was not connected to the dining/bar area so the server had to carry them from outside which was a bit strange to me. Note that this is a small bar and is best to only go with a smaller group, and if you plan to drink AND if you've eaten already or plan to eat a meal elsewhere

    Tofu and chicken

    My new go-to spot when I'm not HUNGRY but still down to grab a bite and a drink with it. Vibes here are really chill and food is even better. We sat at the bar and grabbed the tofu, chicken, and beef tartare. Tofu and chicken portions are great for sharing between multiple people. All so delicious and the perfect way to end the night. Saw a couple dates and realized it is a perfect intimate date spot, so it's now on my list. Servers are really nice and friendly. Loved the option to sit on the ledge of the restaurant and people watch too!

    This restaurant was such a vibe! Loved how it's all tapa style we had fun ordering plates and got their special slider Big Mac. Sooo yummy!! This is a great place to come and have some late night snacks! It's all shared style seating

    Bo la lot

    The hype is real about this snack bar! I've seen this place blow up a few years ago and I've passed by it many times. It's on the corner of Bathurst and Queen, looks like nothing special on the outside but once you open the door, this place is buzzing with full tables, loud music & the vibe is on point. It's a fairly tiny place with a few tables around and seats at the bar. I came here on a Friday night around 7pm and was lucky to get a table at the bar. The reviewers were right where the majority of the tables ordered drinks. The snack menu was one page with about 15 items ranging from $4-$18 in price. The portions are tapas style with Asian fusion dishes. The bar selection ranged from traditional cocktails which weren't on the menu to beers on tap and bottles of wine & liquor. We ordered the Korean fried chicken, bo la lot (my favorite Viet dish that normally isn't on pho restaurant menus - this is seasoned beef wrapped in a betel leaf) and Octos Brava. All the dishes came in very stylish dishes, seasoned very well and your first bite was bursting with flavors. They allow you to split bills and you can by cash or any type of credit card.

    Jungle bird

    A special nondescript spot with great small bites and a wide selection of drinks. As the name implies there's only small plates here but they are very reasonably priced ($5-$8), and if you combine several of them you'll end up with a pretty filling meal. There's no utensils so be warned that certain dishes can get a bit messy. The food is fun because it spans many different cuisines - i had general tso tofu, eggplant parmesan sandwich, trinidadian doubles and an indian style aloo (potato) chaat. Excellent vegetarian selections. There's one dessert item currently and that's a custom chocolate bar they make called the snackers. There's tons of drink options - I stuck to the cocktails, for which they have no menu. Instead you can ask the staff for what type of drink you're craving and they'll make something that matches your description. The manager gave us a couple of great drinks - a jungle bird and a modified daiquiri - both were delicious! A big part that added to the experience was how friendly the staff, especially the manager (who is waiting tables and taking orders too) is. His drink recommendations were great and he took time to explain all ingredients in the cocktails and even the proportions. A final note on how great the vibe and ambiance is. It's a great date spot with dim lighting, and a candle on each table. The music fit perfectly (anderson paak mostly, some kendrick) with the overall vibe of the place. Note that the place is pretty small and most tables are for 2.

    Taylor at the bar was UHmazing we said what we liked and he delivered!! Food is fresh, you can tell from the first bite. Welcoming, phenomenal food and the hospitality was next level! Thank you Taylor

    Steak tartare
    Jenny O.

    Our late arrival in Toronto meant we had a late night dinner although that's not so bad when your body thinks it's 3 hours earlier haha. We tried 416 Snack Bar, and I would highly recommend it! Enjoyed everything we ate. Food is meant to be eaten with your hands. I loved the eggplant sangwich doubledown so much. They coat the eggplant in quinoa (which gave it a great crunch) and use it in place of bread. It's basically an eggplant Parmesan sandwich, so creative. Also really loved the jerk whole fish where we could make lettuce wraps with the ingredients. The jerk had a strong flavor without being overpowering and the fish was perfectly prepared. Steak tartare and general tso fu (crunchy tofu in General Tso's sauce) were also tasty. There was a good selection of beers on draft. We tried 2 sours and a fruity gose. Sat at the bar and was impressed by how efficient the bartender was and how he stayed on top of everything despite being incredibly busy.

    My partner and I had a wonderful time at the Snack Bar on our first night in Toronto. Our bartender Justin was great and our food was lovely as well. We had oysters, froie gras, and Korean style wings. Everything was delicious! Would definitely recommend.

    Delicious time at 416! I tried the paper plane drink and my partner got the negroni. Best cocktails in Toronto! We always get the tofu dish which is sooo tasty. (Did they reduce the number of pieces though? I think it's like $6 now for 6 cubes which is pretty expensive). Still a good vibe!

    Cobb Salad
    Sami H.

    I've always walked passed this place and wondered why they were so busy even on weeknights. Now I know! This very unassuming snack bar just off the corner of Queen and Bathurst is one of the most happening places on a Monday night. It was very intimate with lit candles dotting each table and bar. Perfect for a date night, and there were many dates that night. One of the main philosophies of this bar is that they do not serve anything with utensils. Every dish you order is meant to be eaten with your hands or essentially a toothpick. My personal favorite was the cobb salad, the alu gobi and the korean fried chicken. I wish I had taken a picture of the alu gobi, because that is a traditional dish from my part of the cultural sphere, and I was amazed at how they transformed a curry dish into a bite sized small appetizer. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for light meals and quick drinks. They have an extensive wine and cocktail list that can be paired with anything on their menu.

    Tari O.

    Was waiting for friends so I stopped in for a cocktail and definitely found a gem! Delicious tapas bar with a great wine and cocktail menu as well. Small place so best to come earlier in the evening if you want a table. Otherwise bar is nice as well. Staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. Prices are great too vodka martini came to $12usd. The original yelp search had them listed as happy hour but I confirmed they do not have happy hour.

The space itself leans more modern and clean rather than the typical dark, cozy izakaya vibe, which I actually didn't mind. It felt comfortable, not too loud, and easy to settle into for a slow dinner. We ordered a mix of small plates to share, and everything came out looking nicely put together. The aburi-style salmon sushi was one of the highlights for me.. lightly seared, with a soft texture and just enough flavor on top without being overwhelming. The tuna tataki was also fresh and clean, simple but well done. Some of the fried dishes leaned a bit richer with the creamy sauces, but they were still enjoyable, especially if you're in the mood for something a little more indulgent. The beef fried rice was straightforward but satisfying, one of those dishes that's easy to keep going back to between everything else. Drinks were a nice touch too.. refreshing, nicely presented, and added to the overall experience. Overall, this feels like a solid spot for a casual night out with friends. It's not overly traditional, but it's easygoing, shareable, and comfortable.. the kind of place you'd come back to when you just want good food and a relaxed atmosphere.

We ordered the Sea Bream Ceviche and chips, quarter Octopus and Patatas Bravas. The highlight was the ceviche. The octopus was unfortunately a little overdone, which made it tough. I would absolutely not order the patatas bravas again. The potatoes were very dry and tasted as if they had been sitting out for some time. We also sat at the bar and had a few ordered of cocktails with the food. Be aware that the bar itself slopes down towards you. With that being said, my partner put her drink down on the sloped part and it fell all over both of us, with the bartender seeing it all unfold. He was nice in providing some extra napkins to dry ourselves off, but all he had to offer was "Yup that happens a lot" as opposed to maybe offering to remake the drink which was now 2/3 empty as a result. Was a little disappointed at that service in particular, especially when you're paying upwards of $18 for a small cocktail. The atmosphere was good, however. IF I were to give it another try, I'd probably just opt for drinks and skip the food, which was a little pricier for what you're getting portion-wise and quality.
