The Cobourg

  • 533 Parliament St. (at Winchester St.) • View on map »
  • 416-913-7538

Opened in September 2006, this Cabbage-town bar lends a soupçon of refinement to the Parliament strip’s mix of pubs and nail salons. The intimate 50-person spot has been renovated by the new owners, husband and wife team John and Laila Jay. It now houses an elegant assortment of wing chairs, chandeliers and canvases. Simplicity is the keyword here: three beers on tap (Steam Whistle, Red Leaf, Wellington) and a handful in bottles (Stella and Labatt 50 among them), as well as a minimal menu (cheese plates, pâté, edamame). Wines and scotches get more play. The friendly staff also presides over a sitting room in the back, decorated with a divan, bookshelves and portraits.
