Visited Toronto earlier this month and hit up Mapo Pocha right after landing with friends. The…read morefirst thing I noticed was the interior - neon signs, string lights, retro/cool signage. We were sat quickly and the waiter took our order. There was a promo on the strawberry makeolli slush and it was quite possibly the most refreshing alcoholic slush I ever had (might be biased given how we were tired and in severe need of a pick me up after our flight...). To my surprise, the menu features a lot of variety that I usually don't find in most of the pochas I've been to - especially items like gizzard, pork intestine, raw beef etc. We made a selection of items and found they all were good and actually spicy. The kimchi pancake was definitely my favourite, crispy and flavourful especially with the dipping sauce! My friends enjoyed the pork belly though I found it a tad bit salty (enjoy with rice for sure!). I think the food quality and taste was up to par and cohesive, good enough that I found the overall experience very pleasant. This would be a great spot for a pre-game or a fun night out with food and friends. I wish we had something like this in Vancouver because I would definitely go often!

I came here one evening for some bites and drinks with a friend and it's a pretty good spot!…read moreService here is super friendly, and the inside of the pocha spot is relaxed, intimate, and lively. My friend and I got the seafood pancake and the fishcake soup while drinking soju here. Both dishes were good and came in a good portion! Overall, I would come back and bring more friends next time.

Being from the US in a state where techno doesn't have much of a scene, it was delightful to travel…read moresomewhere where i could hear the music i wanted. There was a cover charge and they had a coat room available for $4 CAD as well. Bar wise, i felt like the bartenders could only do two ingredient drinks and what was on their cocktail menu for the night, so don't ask for too much. But the music was great, vibes were great. I want to bring my friends here.

Great new club on Geary! This strip of clubs and eateries is…read moreoff-the-hook lately and one of the latest dance spots to add to the fun is Standard Time. It's on the second floor of an old warehouse building with large windows where you can sit at tables and gaze out over the street and the park. Fantastic idea! The interior design is well thought out, and there is plenty of room for dancing as well as hanging out at the back in the attached room facing the street. The bar is long and plenty of room to find a spot to order there. The DJ booth is interesting as it is set in kind of a window at ground level, with an attached room behind the decks where the performers can sit and hang out. The sound system is incredible at Standard Time! Custom built speakers are both at the front by the DJ booth AND at the back facing the booth. Of course most people were up near the booth, with few at the back even though the sound was good at both spots. I found the sound simply ethereal at the back, probably because of less people in the way and less chatter from people too. Facing the speakers, and facing away from the booth at the back gave a nice stereo image of the sound so that's where I was for quite awhile when enjoying the music on my visit. Highly recommended!
