There are nights that call for something more than just another glass of wine—nights where mood matters, and the details make all the difference. When that kind of evening arrives, I choose Clio.
Tucked into the heart of Yorkville, Clio is an upscale cocktail bar and lounge that feels like a whispered secret shared among Toronto’s most refined. From the moment you walk in, the plush velvet, low lighting, and curated playlist create a setting that’s effortlessly seductive—perfect for first encounters or final nightcaps.
Why Clio Always Makes My List:
-
The crowd is polished—you’ll be surrounded by elegant professionals and creatives who know how to carry a conversation (and wear a suit).
-
The drinks are thoughtful—artisanal cocktails crafted with rare spirits and seasonal ingredients. I recommend starting with their smoked old fashioned… or letting me order something bespoke for you.
-
The vibe is intimate—ideal for when we want to talk, flirt, or simply exist in that quiet, magnetic space between the next round and the next move.
Clio isn’t loud. It doesn’t need to be. It speaks in glances, in amber lighting, in the slow swirl of ice in crystal. And if you’re with me, you’ll find it’s not just the drinks that linger—it’s the connection, too.
