About this restaurant

Short Turn: A vibey and narrow cocktail/snack bar from the folks who made 416 Snack Bar - just a short turn around the corner from the original.

416, which opened in 2011, has been a multicultural small plates spot representing Toronto's ethnic diversity with an array of culturally distinct snacks, never doing fusion-y things; Short Turn has the same ethos when it comes to food, but was brought to life in order to have a proper cocktail bar basically next door.

Start with the coldest martini in the city, ideally paired with our excellent french fries, and then then pick from the cocktail list or ask a bartender for something bespoke to your tastes.

The space was designed to conjure up train bars of a bygone time, on the streetcar ride home from downtown to the west end. A short turn is ordinarily the annoying experience of having your car re-routed, having to get off and transfer - here, you would step into an experience of unique hospitality, snacks and libation.
