Fancy a little bluegrass with your brunch? Dakota Tavern has that. Whether you want to bring your kids along for some foot stomping bacon and eggs, or have an adults-only evening with cocktails and a folk band, Dakota Tavern is a uniquely incredible venue in Toronto. In between live sets, the staff spins their favourite like-minded music, from country to folk. The furniture looks like it is from the 70s and the retro feel extends throughout the small venue. No need to get dressed up: flannel shirts are welcome. Dark, small and underground, it may not be the ideal location for the summer, but it is dreamily cosy for "Cold" Man Winter.
