Alobar Downtown is nestled in the heart of Toronto's bustling Financial District. Alobar Downtown offers revelry in the bar and lounge and warmth in the dining room, both featuring menus from Michelin-starred chef Patrick Kriss.

Join us for happy hour on weekdays from 2:30pm to 5:30pm in our bar, lounge, and heated patio.

Alobar Downtown's menu is inspired by the classic steakhouse, expanding upon the offerings at our sister location, Michelin Recommended Alobar Yorkville.

Seared tuna salad was a harmonious spring special of romaine, green beans, olives and potato. The hamachi, absolutely perfect. Chef treated us to cavatelli with duck confit that was both bold and delicate, with nuances from each ingredient shining through. Service was world class as it always is at anything Alo.

Fantastic service all around but especially from Leana (spelling?) and Vince. Food was great but the best part of the night was the service. As for noise, yes it's loud but remember, its a bar so like all bars expect high volume level because everyone is having a good time.
