Lavish Thursdays at Ultra

Our article on the best patios in Toronto a couple of weeks ago didn’t even do this spot justice.

Thursday nights at Ultra invite you to get luxe. Toronto’s hottest nightspot opens its patio tomorrow night, combining a breathtaking Toronto evening with delectabe drinks, sweet music, and incredible people.

Hosted by our very own Deb Lewis, as well as Thomas Neary, Ultra invites you to come and spoil yourself and reach a new level of luxurious.

For beer lovers everywhere! Introducing The Beer Boutique!

Introducing a new way to love beer: The Beer Boutique!

Brought to you by Canada’s very own, The Beer Store is launching its newest retail venture in Liberty Village later in the month of June. Not only will patrons have the same wide range of beer to choose from, but they’ll also be able to purchase beer in smaller packs, and even mix and match with custom cardboard carriers.

And if that isn’t reason enough to check it out, The Beer Boutique will feature regular tasting and pairing events. We all know that food and drink go together, and The Beer Boutique will let you discover new brands and match great foods with each one. And because the store is all self-serve, you’ll have the opportunity to browse to your heart’s content.

The entire objective of this great new concept store is to be a beer lover’s dream, to enhance a greater beer experience, and to learn more about the brews everyone loves so much.

Beer lovers: get excited. Just in time for summer, The Beer Boutique promises to be an incredible experience.
