Amazing back patio. Great outdoor fire pit. Perfect for a cold April night. Staff were kind, attentive. Great beer. Great food. They made us welcome. They had the right touch / distance. Like we're visiting a wealthy relative who gives us wonderful food and drink, but gives us space. read more

I mainly come to this spot for the live music and the beer selection. The food I tried was iffy and not worth it IMO even for snack. The service has been decent on all my visits and same goes for the live music selection. I enjoy the beer selection they have as it's getting way overboard with craft stuff everywhere else :) Not a tequila connoisseur by any means but they seem to have a decent selection. Cover charge usually with the live band over the weekend. 3.5 stars read more

Definitely a nice dimly lit space to go with friends or even a date, and they have a patio. What I didn't like is that the ceviche here sucks. I know, why expect good ceviche in Canada? Personally, the tacos were overpriced (I'm from LA, so seeing tacos for $5 is an absolute scam), so we opted for the ceviche... and then I realized I probably shouldn't have even bothered ordering food from this place and to stick with just drinks. My Paloma drink was good, but that's it. Our server was not the most attentive nor was she really friendly. I also in the end did not love that we were automatically charged a cover fee on our bill just because there was a live band playing here. Getting there at 7:30pm on a Wednesday night should not warrant a cover, lol. Just seems a bit extra to then add it to the bill. Music was good, but it was definitely a bit loud to casually carry a conversation without nearly screaming at each other. read more

Tacos and margs were great, neat patio out in the back. No table service - you order your drinks and food at the bar. We missed the sign at first so waited a while before realizing what was up. They'll bring the food out to you, drinks you bring back yourself, and water you dispense yourself. Overall it was a relaxed atmosphere, neat part of Ossington, and a chill spot to grab a drink with some friends. read more

Nice, cozy bar. Decent selection of drinks. Authentic tacos, two of them are vegan while one is vegetarian that can be veganized upon request. All delicious. Check-in offer was rejected so I didn't order tapas. After a while a live band showed up and started playing classic music, a bit loud for such cozy place but overall I was impressed by the performance. Overall it was a great night. read more

The name reveals all. I've been here when there were only two of us in the whole space, and I've been when it's packed. The drinks don't care what the occupancy rate is; always tasty and refreshing. Consider popping in before or after your meal at Libretto. Normally I love live music, but the mix on this visit was off. My guest and I had to yell to hear each other, so we left quickly after one drink. I believe that they have a small menu, but I've not eaten here. Street parking is available. read more

The band is exceptional and the atmosphere is top notch. Nice patio out back. Many tequilas to choose from.

I came here with some ladies on Friday night for dinner and a night out. It was super easy to make a reservation (through Yelp too). I choose this place because we had a vegetarian in our group and they had a lot of delicious choices. I liked the tapas style as well. The food was okay. We ordered one of everything on the tapas menu. The shrimp diablo were good, as was the chorizo. I didn't care for the mushroom empanadas with the mushy filling. The stars for me were the guacamole, the mushroom quesadillas and the corn. The service was lacking. Although it was a tapas menu, we were not provided plates or utensils. We had to ask, and were only provided napkins and forks. We didn't have a waiter at all. When we arrived we sat there for awhile and finally flagged someone down. She told us the "bar sign" was on (I looked for said sign, but didn't see one). We provided our food order, and were told she'd come back to check on us, but this did not happen. The only person the came was someone from downstairs to put the food on the table. It just irked me as we made a dinner reservation but we're not advised that there would be no service. I'm not a huge tequila fan, but I tried the mango margarita and it was really tasty and smooth. I ended up having 3! Anyway, I'd come back here for cocktails but I don't think I'd come back for dinner. read more

I have not been back to Reposado Bar & Lounge since I attended an Yelp Elite Event here. All I remembered I had a really good time? Back again with some of my fellow Yelp friends on a weeknight. The place was quiet and I remembered we were the loudest table? We talked about future bachelorette and bachelor parties that involves strip joints? I think? I shared a Herrudura Flight ($30). Someone had an anejo Manhattan ($12.39) and told me it was good. Another person gave me his shot of Tromba Blanco ($8.41) because it was not his thing, he enjoyed his Stratford Pilsener ($4.87) way more... And someone got really happy drinking her Virgin Sangrita ($1.33). Reposado is definitely a great place to hang out and chill with your friends. I need to go back again, maybe after a few shot of Tequlia, I will remember more?! read more

I am not much of a tequila or mezcal drinker so I was a bit upset my friend chose this spot for his birthday. But let me tell you how I've come to change my mind! Drinks (5/5)- First of all, their cocktails are out of this world! I've never had such a great margarita, paloma, boozy punch, and then some drink that had "zombie" in it. You can tell I had a good time if I dont recall the last drinks name. Food (4.5/5)- I also started to get hungry and had the taco trio, pretty good, but if I go back I'd only get the tinga. We had the shrimp appetizer too, it was excellent. For a bar, the food is pretty great! Service (6/5)- you had to keep ordering at the bar, which I get, businesses have to operate with minimal help. We had Tyler who was hilarious and so considerate, we were an anxious group of 20-ish, we kept ordering drinks and wanting to split them in the most obscure methods, he would make jokes with us and make sure he split everything perfectly. Vibe (5/5)- the patio is so cozy and airy, we loved it, then around 9 pm there was a lielve band that was amazing. You have to pay to get in after the band starts, but if you were there earlier the bouncer will let you in for free again. Conclusion: must go! read more

$85 for a margarita pitcher? $5 tacos (with no other food options)? Who do these people think they are - the Cartel bosses? We came with a group of 4. Ordered 12 tacos, and 2 pitchers of margarita. The bill was $300 before tip. And they were only able to split it 1 or 2-way, but not 4. What is came down to was being charged about $85 for 3 tacos and 500ml of cocktail. Are you freaking kidding me!? read more

Neat place until closing. The bartenders and waitstaff seemed great until they wanted to close. Without warning they literally chased us out. I'm ok with "please we need to close". But this gang wrestled the drink out of my friends hand and then said he threw it. Crazy. Unhinged staff. read more

Went here with my wife, we had a great time. We had the tacos and they were delicious. They have interesting cocktails made with Tequila. There was a great band and a great atmosphere. read more

We tried to go to Bellwoods but the wait was ridiculous (1-2 hours?) and we were starving so we headed to this little gem next door. Solid if not spectacular beer selection. But understood since it's a Mexican joint, but they had Delirium Tremens on tap which worked our nicely for us. We all shared some beef and chicken tacos, very good with some solid heat. We also did chips and guac and some sort of chorizo and potato dish. All the food was delicious and the bar service was good too. read more

Guac was well below average, chips were stale, ceviche was okay but tiny portion, empanadas cold in the middle Margs were great tho. Just get drinks read more

The tacos and margaritas are delicious here. Came here on a Thursday after work, and it wasn't too busy, but was definitely full by the time we left around 7pm. The patio is nice, and the restaurant super cozy, but everything definitely gets hotter as the Toronto temperatures rise. We started with the classic and the orange margaritas. The classic ones are AMAZING! with a bright tartness, undertones of tequila, and not overly sweet. The burrito was okay, but the tacos took the show. The pork was the best, and was closely followed by the chicken, with the beef being good too. They were all dressed with ingredients that complimented them well, and the meat and tortillas were tasty and fresh. The quesadilla was good, but also slightly underwhelming. This place uses biodegradable straws, thank you Reposado! Staff is friendly, but you have to go up to the bar to order, and we had to ask for cutlery and plates three times before they got there (after our food had arrived). I would definitely come back to have all the margaritas an the tacos. The only thing stopping me is the price tag, tasty doesn't always come cheap! read more

Perfect experience. A million thanks to Jan and Jason for being charming barkeeps, ideal DJs, tasteful mixologists, and generous tourist suggestion-givers. (If you guys see this, we didn't make it to Black Hoof, but it's top on my list for next time I'm back in town!) The stained glass behind the bar helped earn that elusive fifth star. So did the garden in the back, the tremendous tequila selection, the fresh squeezed lemon in the sour, and the juicy, spicy chorizo dish (charcuterie supplied by El Gaucho down the street, Jason told us) with perfectly salty tapenade. Between two of us, we indulged in: Two classic margaritas (so tart. made with hornitos. perfecto.) Agave "Manhattan," made with tequila, galliano, and sweet vermouth, garnished with a twist. (As a bourbon drinker, I was on the fence for this unlikely recipe, but I admit that it was tasty.) "La Vida Buena," with tequila, fresh grapefruit, and agave nectar. This might have been my fave. Blood orange margarita. Fresh juice, tart. Strawberry margarita. Fresh strawberry puree. very similar to original. read more

One obligated stop while partying on Ossington. If you go with a big group, you'll probably need to segregate, the premises are tight, plus it gets really busy... On the other hand, this place is successfully intimate for couples (iiiiuuu), specially if you take into consideration the low lights, the sexy live music (some days), and the "makes everybody attractive" magic potion called tequila. If I were a guy I would bring first dates here. The bar pampers the eyes, what a beautiful image: all kind of tequilas and mezcales illuminated by a purple mystic light... The musicians were delightful, I felted like dancing, and for an instant they transported me to the 1920's. Those $5 bucks for cover were worth. After having a huge dinner, the "Hola café" seemed like my best bet, boy it worked...! (excellent digestive) We couldn't leave without refreshing our tongues with one of their heavenly fixed Palomas (a must taste). Salud! read more

Really cool and unique Tequila bar down town ! Super intimate ambiance with live jazz on Thursday and Friday nights. This place highlights tequila and makes it more than the tequila shots that one would remember (or not remember) from university days xD. They also have tequila tasting flights , Margaritas and other yum cocktails. Definitely a place to try out if you're adventurous! :) read more

I think for most people Tequila brings back memories of shitty Jose Cuervo and having your head in the toliet. Reposado helps to mellow those cringe-worthy memories. This place is really great! There is a extensive list of tequila complete with sampling flights (if you can afford them, they are a bit pricey). The mixed drinks are fantastic. The classic margarita is delicious and comes in an eligent long thin glass with rocks in. After about the fourth Marg my mouth got a bit sore from all of the sourness, but they had a great selection of a few awesome microbrewery beers. They have some variations of the classic Margarita using blood orange juice and some other equally delicious and refreshing combinations. You can taste the tequila but it is not over powering on your palate and goes down smooothly. I've been here a handfull of the times and always seem to find a place on the patio which is filled with a friendly but cool crowd. There is a small amout of tables and chairs and also calf-hight little teak benches. Very nice greenery and little torch lights give it a great ambiance considering its a concrete patio. The Tiki Bar at the back is the perfect place to grab your beverage of choice when it gets a bit to crowded to the inside bar. The staff have always been very friendly and accomidating. The food that I have had there was also a great little snack. I've had mini Empanada's there that were as good as I've had in South America. My mum and I also ordered the homemade potato chips with dip and they were also a great munching snack. Reposado is just a bit more refined then a lot of the bars on Ossington without a snooty attitude. A great place to hang out. read more

The last stop of a citywide bar crawl was at Reposado Bar & Lounge. I came here for an Elite Event a couple of summers ago, liked it then and like it now! Great location; if you're jonesing to change scenes, you have other bars to choose from as Queen Street is 2 blocks away. The drink menu is quite diverse with beers and various cocktails. I had the Mango Margarita, which was delicious. The jazz band was fantastic. Reposado is overall a very chill place where you can enjoy great music and fantastic drinks. I'm a fan ! read more

When it comes to tequila, the staff at Reposados know their stuff. We headed to Reposados on a cold February Monday night. The crowd was light so we decided to sit right at the bar to have a good view of what they had on the shelf. There were so many choices! I was like a kid in a candy store. Right away our awesome bartender Jason suggested Clase Azul Reposado. A mid-price range tequila from the Arandas region of Jalisco Mexico. Not only was this one of the best tequila I've ever tasted but it comes in a beautiful tall Talavera bottle. This tequila is aged in old Bourbon, Cognac and Sherry casks, which give it a very smooth and complex flavour. After the Clase Azul, I was ready to get my taste buds to work. We moved on to the broader Mescal category (Monday night Mescal special!). Jason suggested the Jaral de Barrio. Again, he was right on the money with this suggestion. It's served with a sangrita chaser (tomato juice with chopped jalapeño and a pinch of salt), which helps bring out the earthy flavour of the Jaral. Since Mescal's can bit a little hit or miss, I was glad we got to enjoy a really good one. Sipping on these delicious tequilas, the night started to zip by. My friend tried their tequila infused pineapple drink. You definitely have to watch out for that one. Although it doesn't taste like anything but pineapple juice, it's still a good 38% alcohol content! I finished the night with a pint of tasty Delirium (on tap!). Because we went on a Monday night, they just had some tunes playing in the background, but on weekends, they also have their own local jazz quartet called the Reposadists, which are apparently very good. read more

Reposado is a lovely small place to meet up with a friend and grab beer/tapas. I came here on a Saturday afternoon around 3-4 and it wasn't packed at all. The patio was full but we could have grabbed a seat beside someone. This place is a little on the jazzy, sophisticated maybe even pretentious side for me...It's also not that cheap, so I don't think I would come here again but I see the appeal for the general population. Patio is lovely, cozy and comfortable and quiet enough for an intimate conversation. Inside is narrow and dark, the bar is littered with overprices bottles of tequila and various alcohols I would never try. I got a beer and we ordered tapas. Food: Small plantes - obviously Chorizo with some kind of dip...good! Nothing special though, just tastes like regular sausage. Homemade potato chips and dip - A LOT of chips and the dip was sour cream based (i think), very good I was impressed. Be careful with the chips, they're harder than regular chips and you MAY be an idiot like your truly and cut a gum or two. Picante crab cakes - yum! spicy, definitely recommend. Empanadas - spicy, very good - there were 4 in an order I think. All in all, the tapas were a good addition to the beer and we didnt walk away hungry. PS does anyone order beer in this joint? Seriously. I just want a damn pint, i don't like stupid martinis!!!! THERE IS SO MUCH TEQUILA. Jesus christ... I didn't know tequila could exist in such quantities and cost this much money. Buy at your own risk, this sh*t is for serious people. read more

After not being able to find a seat at Foxley bistro, my friends and I came to Reposado as a tapas alternative within the same area. I'm sad to say that after we arrived, settled down, ordered our drinks, and then tried to order food, we were informed that their tapas menu was not available for the night... I wish we were told this sooner, as it would have changed our decision to stay. We settled for the tacos, sold in trios. They weren't that bad but not that fabulous either. We also ordered guacamole, and a few other unmemorable menu items to share. They were okay. The lighting in the bar was awful. Super dark, and impossible to read our menus. There was also no seating for a group of 5 so we had to dine at the bar in the far corner. Overall, my visit here was not enjoyable if only considering the food. I didn't order any drinks but I am guessing they were good, as they pride themselves in their selection of tequila. On the plus side, the waitress was kind enough o split our bills 5 ways, and correctly separate our drinks, which was nice. I'd only consider returning here for drinks, with a group of 4 or less. read more

Great tequila bar if you're a fan (not so much me but my friend is). Cute little place with patio for those awesome summer days! Came by on Friday with a few friends and was seated right away. They ordered two 1.5 oz of tequila (~20-30 each) and I stuck with my old fashioned and slowly sipped away while we wait for our 4th guest. Soon after, we ordered some tapas, enchiladas (I think?), crab cakes, cheese platter, chorizo platter and they also gave up a salsa and chip on the house. Food is great, service is great and atmosphere is definitely there. Would totally come back in the future! read more

Just too a little walk down Ossington Avenue and the Dos Equis logo drew us in. We sat at the back at the patio. Their feature liquor is Tequila. Lots of variety ranging from your commonly drank Tequila to your top self Tequila. The patio was cute and chill. I was there with family and it was a nice vibe and we are looking forward to try the tapas. Definitely a neat place to check out. read more

Reposado really is one of the biggest gems of the Ossington strip. They have a really cool list of cocktails. I had the "Hot Ruby", which was stawberry infused tequila, habanero infused tequila, and grapefruit soda. Totally a standout - I'd reccomend it if you're looking for something a little different! The sweetness of the strawberry with the heat of the habanero is really neat. If you're looking to try out some of the different tequilas, try one of the flights that allows you to sample a few! The servers here are really knowledgeable, so if you have any questions feel free to ask them! The live music is really, really good. It was sort of a latin-inspired jazz. Love love love it. Though I reccomend sitting closer to the back, and not towards the door where the band is set up, and it can get a wee bit loud :). We tried a couple of the tapas (take advantage of the Yelp check-in offer! 50% off of your first tapas plate!) Chips & Dip - the dip was awesome but chips tasted like something you can get out of a bag Chorizo with an olive tapanade. A-Okay. Nothing else to really add to that comment :P. They were okay, but really, you're not coming here to eat, you're coming here for some good tequila and good music! :) Will most certainly be back soon! read more

Neat cozy dark long bar with live music on weekends. Although the bar was long and narrow it never felt uncomfortably crowded. They do tequila flights, a sample of 3 and some spicy tomato juice for palette cleansing. It was fun to try the different kinds, figure out which one you like and then order cocktails based on that. Friendly bartenders and hooks to hang coats/bags (a feature not to be underestimated). read more

I dig this place. I'd heard and read a lot about their Mexican eats and tequila forward cocktails, but I never had the opportunity to give them a try until recently when I was there for a corporate event taking over the entire venue. As you might imagine, being on Ossington, it's not a big space but this little diamond in the rough shines as one of the brightest spots along the strip. A long bar inside with plenty of seating, a fair number of tables and now that warmer temperatures are there a nice covered back patio behind the restaurant. Yay! Most of us were standing around as a variety of menu item faves were passed around by servers. The tacos were fantastic in my opinion, simple in their composition but hearty and generous in portion size. I had a few bites, enough to entice me to return soon, but the fire was lit under my ass by their cocktails! Such perfect execution and totally willing to make adjustments to taste. I asked for a Mezcal Mule, something that was off menu and they were quickly able to pivot and make something exactly to my liking! Can't wait to come back for a proper meal and add that final star! Eatcrest Out! read more

Great place, a Mexican themed bar with a clean dark interior and a spectacular patio out back. The patio is shaded enough to be pleasant in any weather, and if it is warm out, it is as pleasant as any patio you will ever find. The menu has plenty of nice beers, but their bread and butter is tequila and mezcal. Their list is enormous. For me, I'm not going straight, so I went cocktail. Thankfully, they have some nice custom tequila/mezcal based cocktails to choose from, and the tegroni, a negroni with tequila instead of gin, was really well mixed and refreshing. Nice touch. Once the kitchen opened at 6, we also ordered a taco trio with beef. The tacos are small - just enough for a snack - but delicious. Great flavor, great corn shell, and seasoned perfectly. Nothing to complain about here, my friends. read more

We came to this cute bar in the Ossington on a extremely cold Saturday hoping for somewhere to have a few drinks and read on yelp that they have a live band on Saturday. We came early enough where we didn't have to line up or pay cover and also the live music didn't start yet. They have some cute Mexican tapas and cocktails. But since we already had dinner we opted for cocktails instead. The bar is tiny with very limited seating and a bar area. They have a outdoor patio so I can see how it would be an amazing place be be in the summertime. The live band started playing at 10pm. They played some bluesy music. I enjoyed it. All in all a cute intimate bar. Come early as it get later in the night they start to charge cover to get in. I would recommend this bar. read more

Such a great spot!! Have been here a few times and loved every visit. Great margaritas and always have a variety of live music - this past visit was kind of a jazzy/blues band playing some fun covers with great instrumentation and vocals. A really nice vibe, chill crowd. Gets busy so be prepared to stand. Not sure about the food as I haven't tried it - but the main draw is the cocktails and drinks. Love it! read more

Place all orders (drinks AND food) at the bar?! They also had never heard of the 50% off your first tapas order promotion, and then applied it incorrectly so that we didn't receive the full promotion. Our friend ordered chicken tacos and received pork. Another ordered no cilantro and received cilantro. The appetizers arrived 20 Minutes after all the tapas arrived. The food itself was decent at best and no longer hot when it arrived. Not impressed. read more

Omg do I adore this little bar, so adorable. Mini patio at the back. In fact, they opened two bars for the event I was at. The second bar was in a different room actually. BTW: I didn't come here for a Yelp event!! It was an entirely different event. So our event was 6 to 9pm ish. The open bar closed at 9:30.... but they continued the night with some jazz music and served regular customers. Kudos!! They have some pretty neat drinks. Sorry if "neat" is a nerdy word. - mango margarita (with a piece of mango!) - blood orange juice + vodka (SO amazing) or tequila (not as amazing) - blood orange margarita? I enjoyed lots of my drinks but honestly I am going to apologize as I do not remember the REAL name of any of these drinks. However they have many different kinds of tequila, and YES you can do tequila tasters: 7 different tequila shots. That's what you can do :) I had two of those... they tasted like tequila.... but it was fun. The chaser for tequila is a spicy tomato juice of some very amazing sort. My coworker had some spicy cocktail, something with "Red" in the name. Spicy, hot, but really really nice. I also had the crab cakes here -spicy! Very soft and tender crabmeat as well, it was good. I'd love to come back sometime -NOT due to an event! I very much enjoyed the location, the really friendly/casual bar, lots of summer drinks, cute patio, JAZZ @ NIGHT?... also I was carded!! Why was I carded at AN EVENT I WAS INVITED TO!!? read more

How in the world have I never been here before? I love Reposado. It has a relaxed, laid back ambience (the bar staff hand you a menu and let you seat yourself). My friend and I chose a table on the backyard patio, a tad on the small size, casual, and fitted with wooden bistro-size tables and chairs, as well as loungy stools and low tables for those who really want to relax. At Reposado, you can learn everything you ever wanted to know about tequila (short of visiting a tequila factory in Mexico). I enjoyed reading the menu descriptions, but opted for the margaritas instead of the tequila flights. I had the following: -Reposado margarita: the classic margarita is done very well, and you can really taste the flavour of the tequila. -Mango margarita: the sweet mango juice makes this go down very fast. Delicious. -Chorizo and olive tapenade/crostini appetizer: a full tray of sliced spanish sausage, sauteed with thinly sliced green pepper, and a (tiny) bit of olive and feta tapenade to spread on baked crostini. My favourite appetizer of the night. -Empanadas - a trio of chicken, vegetable and beef empanadas (appetizer size) with a side of fresh salsa. Very good. -Crab cakes: delicious and deceivingly spicy; enhance the flavour with a splash of the lemon provided on the side. The place could do with a few more food items on the menu, but I enjoyed their selection nonetheless. After 10pm it's bar service only. The bar gets packed, the live music begins and you can either remain on the laid back patio or join the fun inside. read more
