The Unit
- 1198 Queen St. W. (at Gladstone Ave.) • View on map »
- 416-537-6646
The denizens of Queen West West have yet another place to kick up their Converse. Adorned with an assortment of urban objets d’art and groovy garage sale finds—a bar fashioned from a gym floor, a vintage roulette wheel—Unit is the latest love child of the Drake-Gladstone baby boom. Once a saloon favoured by local railroad workers, the address now attracts a different sort of chain gang—the sidewalk-populating, du Maurier Extra Light–puffing variety. The lack of draft may cause momentary malaise, but a guava martini ($9) or two—a juicy blend of vodka, guava nectar and sweet vermouth—and even the burliest of beer drinkers will be toasting the joys of gentrification. Open Wednesday to Saturday.
