Bars with snacks that give peanuts a bad name

MISTURA
Frugal gourmets head for a seat at the bar, with its platters of pickled goodies: five kinds of olives, caper berries, hot peppers and gherkins. Soft rosemary bread sticks help offset potent negronis. 265 Davenport Rd., 416-515-0009.
HARBOUR 60
Metal cones filled with crispy rashers of double-smoked side bacon adorn the bar, and if you ask nicely, drinks come with asiago-stuffed cherry peppers and prosciutto, and a plate of Serrano ham. 60 Harbour St., 416-777-2111.
THE ROOF LOUNGE
Gratis roasted almonds, spiced green and black olives, and crispy carrot, eggplant and squash chips are guilt-free snacks for vodka-soda sippers. Park Hyatt, 4 Avenue Rd., 416-925-1234.
ACQUA
The well-endowed cheese platter includes wedges of stilton, brie, gorgonzola and aged Canadian cheddar. 10 Front St. W., 416-368-7171.
RASPUTIN
The Leslieville local serves up czar-worthy hospitality with corn nuts, kosher pickles and chewy Russian rye—apt accompaniments to a dry Stoli martini. 780 Queen St. E., 416-469-3737.
