1977 Dundas St. W., 416-530-1430, @tommyswinebarto
Weeks before the first lockdown, Tim Morse and Jamal Watson were carefully turning an old convenience store into their dream coffee-shop-slash-wine-bar. Though the timing for a wine bar was unfortunate, the bottle-shop iteration of Tommy’s has nestled perfectly into the Dundas West strip. Expect the comforts of a good local laid-back energy, stellar espresso but with fridges of boozy (and non-boozy) bevvies.
The vibe: Pop in for a coffee, end up leaving with at least two bottles of wine
The snacks: Patties from Patty King and ham sandwiches from Donna’s
The selection: Strongly local, and more than just bottles of wine: bottled cocktails from Solid Olive; wine-beer hybrids from Hamilton’s Merit Brewing; and Ramona, a canned wine by sommelier Jordan Salcito
