CC Lounge

I went there around 730 for some dinner and drink. The quinoa risotto and Brussels sprouts were really good. Great vege options
Amazing ambiance. I think it becomes crowded later in the day.

I’ve been here a few times and personally I love this place. I’ve had some really good times with groups of friends here. They have some pretty cool drinks and during happy hour, it’s about $ 7 each. The Seebach cocktail is my personal favorite. They also have some unique dishes here that I personally love, I ordered the Brussel Sprouts and I can’t believe how awesome they. It’s infused with whiskey and maple syrup. It’s a must try dish here. Also tried the brisket nachoes and they were good as well. We ordered some pretty good whiskeys every time we came here. We ordered the Canadian and International flights and the staff are really knowledgeable about their whiskey giving us some further insight on the history and the tastes of whiskey. On Thursdays, it’s buck a shuck $ 1 oysters. I love oysters so it’s a good day of the week to visit here. Overall, great vibes here and feels like a party on Thursday and weekend nights. Staff are super friendly and great customer service. Always a favorite spot so I’ll definitely come back here and would highly recommend it to others.

If you’ve read any of my other reviews you will notice the word «Burger» in there a fair bit., namely because I baseline all restaurants via the burger. Its my marker, my line in the sand. And that applies to any type of restaurant — Seafood, Chinese, African… etc. If they have a burger on the menu its going in my face!
So of course when I arrived at CC lounge to enjoy one of their 350 whisky’s I jumped at the burger.
I’m going to keep this one short for two reasons, I loved the whole experience (atmosphere, staff, food and drink) and… I need to pee.
So, the burger… absolutely without hesitation a top 5 in burgerdom.
Service…TOP KNOTCH!
Manager…Len is hilarious, incredibly knowledgeable and on point while making it look effortless!
Would I return… you betcha!

These guys had a booth at an outdoor event and we got the brussel sprouts. They were so good! The serving was pretty big. I split them with someone as a side dish as we were trying food from a few vendors. This was our favourite and the size was big enough for us. There was an unexpected sweet sauce on them which I assume was maple syrup.

Visited their booth at Front Street Foods («CC on Front») and tried the $ 6 Brussels sprouts. The sign said it’s one of the top 5 dishes in Toronto and I’m not sure what that’s based on, but they were delicious. The syrup with the slightly charred Brussels sprouts was a perfect combination. Their website says the syrup is whiskey-​infused, but I wouldn’t have known.
There was some shredded cheese too, which didn’t add much. It might’ve been better incorporated if it were melted, but it’s not a big issue. I’d say the dish was fine as it was.
I do wish the portion was slightly bigger. I shared it with someone else as a side, which was fine. It was just so good, I didn’t want it to end!

I enjoyed the atmosphere. The crowd is mixed. The music is ok. Pricey but CC lounge has super friendly staff.

CC lounge is a lounge in the front, club in the back — our pseudo club, the same way Brassai had or still has a side room club.
Not to be confused with C Lounge (does that still exist? I don’t get West of Yonge often)
We had the lobster nachos which were fabulous. I loved every bite. We also had some old fashions — also very good.
For a fancy place this was not too expensive. My view is it’s actually nicer than Pravda and at very least just as nice as DW Alexander. It’s bigger than the later by quite a bit.
Great staff. Daily specials, worth a visit.

I would avoid this place at all costs. The food was over priced and not very good at all. Good cocktail menu though so if you want a drink that could be a spot. The part for me that will ensure I never go back is the service. The manager treated customers very poorly and was rude and arrogant. While waiting inside we let them know a group of 15 people (mix of races) were waiting to get into the bar for a birthday. While outside, I watched the bouncers and the manager let in about 25 other people that fit, in what he described in his words «our profile» while the others waited to a point they simply left. Of course we headed out as well and will never go back.
Really unfortunate as this city and specifically the Market is a welcoming area for all. To turn away a group of 35−40yrs old who clearly wanted to spend at your establishment for dinner and drinks all due to the color of their skin was just wrong and something you wouldn’t expect to see in this day and age.
Hopefully they remember the city they operate in. I won’t be going back again.

Bad and good. Great space and theme. They are new and felt like staff are either not confident or the manager is too all over them to be confident in themselves
Love they price house wine by the ounce. An excellent idea to not have to have a big pour all the time.
Bad is the food. The charcuterie was very good but fries are frozen and wings were soggy. Who likes soggy wings. When we asked they give us crispy wings the manager acted like we had a problem… not familiar with how wings should be. He replaced them after making us feel like we were the problem but still not as crispy as a good wing in a good restaurant.
They are clearly having growing pains but in a neighbourhood without much competition. I hope they figure it out as it is a nice addition to the neighbourhood.
It is a cool place for drinks but go somewhere else for dinner.

Had dinner and drinks here for a friend’s birthday. Nice décor including an enormous birdcage and suspended swinging chandeliers. Arrived at 8, and aside from a party in the back half of the lounge, I was the only one there. As the night wore on though, it definitely filled up.
For dinner, I thought about going with the steak and frites but ultimately settled on the cheese and charcuterie plate. Nice selection and variety with that dish. Really enjoyed it! The highlight was the guided tour of the whiskey tunnel. Learned some interesting things and levelled up whiskey game a little bit too.
Service was a bit spotty at times. Our group had some difficulty tracking our server down at several points in the evening. Settling the bill was a bit of an ordeal as well, as it took a lot of time to track down a machine for those of us paying by credit/​debit.
From what I gathered from some of the folks working that evening, this place is still in its first few weeks of being open. It’s got great potential and I’d definitely give it another shot once its been open for a few more months.

Went here for my best friend’s birthday last night, we had dinner and then stayed for the dj and dancing after 10. their food menu is okay, priced well but for a good reason, the portions aren’t huge or filling. I don’t think it’s meant to be super filling, but the dishes that I tried were pretty good.
Their 1933 cheese and meat board had some really good chicken liver pâté… we finished it before trying anything else lol Some ok cheese, nothing to write home about. The meat was standard salami and prosciutto as well, the sea salt chocolate were a really nice touch.
I had their special which was a cerviche served on endive… more like an appetizer than a main meal but since I ate a lot in the afternoon I was happy about it. My friend’s steak and mushroom pie turned out to be 2 empanada looking pies, not what he was expecting but good none the less.
The steak and fries a few of my friends ordered looked really good. I wanted to try their desserts but didn’t get a chance cause i was stuffed. We had to fill a $ 500 tab for our table so we ordered a lot of craft cocktails.
We tried 5 of them, the sour, mule and a few others. I’d recommend the mule for the ginger beer used.
Then after dinner we took aotur of their whiskey tunnel, got some cool history and tips on drinking different types of whiskey. The owner himself gave the tour and seemed pretty knowledgable and friendly, he even took a picture with us.
When we went back out everything was transformed to a dj party, it was packed! We had fun for the next few hours dancing, definitely too loud to talk at that point.
Pros:
The music during dinner was awesome, covers of hit songs but done very indie style.
The décor is definitely a plus, huge chandeliers and a bird cage by the front with a cabaret dancer.
Friendly owner and cool concept
Coat Check
Cons:
Inconsistent staff: Bar staff was rude, dj booth was inaccessible, our waitress literally replied with I just got here… when I asked her what the daily specials were… shouldn’t be on the floor if you aren’t prepared. Through out the night she hard to find and seemed to pay a lot of attention to other tables.

I never met a Glen I didn’t like (Glenmorangie, Glenfiddich and Glenlivet). The scotch expert, James Arvanitopoulis the Director and CC Historian, treated me to a very special 21 year old single malt scotch the Glenlivet Archive 21. This was truly a phenomenal flavour. The dark caramel and orange smokiness enveloping my senses brought me to a Scottish peat fired keg.
