About Simpl Things

Simpl Things is a serious Toronto bar pick with Canada's 100 Best Bars #39 recognition for 2026 and a North America's Best Bars #83 placement for 2025. It is a stronger choice for two people or a focused small group than for larger parties that need easy seating, clear pricing, or a loose drop-in plan.

Simpl Things is a Toronto venue with a casual dress code and confirmed recognition from bar lists. The verified accolades are Canada's 100 Best Bars #39 (2026) and World's 50 Best North America's Best Bars #83 (2025). Beyond those points, the verified data does not confirm specific details about menu, seating, service format, prices, hours, or reservations, so the safest way to evaluate it is as a recognized Toronto venue rather than by assuming a particular style of visit.

The clearest grounded reason to prioritize Simpl Things is its recognition. If your plan is to choose a Toronto venue with confirmed external accolades, it belongs on the shortlist. If you need certainty around food, seating, group logistics, outdoor space, or deals, check the venue's official channels before making plans.

Small groups get the cleaner version of the night

The verified data does not include seating or capacity details for Simpl Things, so group planning should stay cautious. A smaller party may be easier to coordinate at many venues, but the verified record here does not support specific claims about room size, seating style, or availability.

For comparison, you can also look at other options such as Cry Baby Gallery, Duggan's Brewery Parkdale, Kaminari Ramen Bar, Sakai Bar, or iSLAS, depending on what kind of night you are planning. Keep Simpl Things in consideration when confirmed recognition and casual dress are the main facts that matter.

Worth choosing when the venue itself is the plan

Choose Simpl Things when you want a Toronto venue with confirmed recognition and a casual dress code. Pause and verify directly if your decision depends on food, seating, outdoor space, happy hour, dietary details, takeout, delivery, or any other specifics not confirmed here.

How Simpl Things compares in Toronto

Choose Simpl Things when the priority is a recognized cocktail-bar experience and the group is willing to plan around it. Duggan's Brewery Parkdale is the easier call for a casual west-end group that wants a lower-friction beer-led night, while Simpl Things is the better pick when the bar program itself is the reason for going.

Kaminari Ramen Bar and iSLAS (we moved to 890 Wilson Ave) make more sense when food is doing more of the work for the evening. If the group has mixed priorities, especially anyone who cares less about cocktails, those are safer cross-shops than forcing a drinks-first plan.

For a more intimate or moodier bar night, compare it with Sakai Bar and Cry Baby Gallery. Simpl Things has the stronger awards signal, but those peers may be easier fits if ambiance, date-night pacing, or group comfort matter more than chasing a listed bar.
