Editorial Reviews
You can visit from morning till night at this "Queen West mainstay" that's as popular for its brunch menu as its nightly dance parties; throughout the day "funny, friendly people" gather by the narrow bar or huddle around patio tables out back – in sum, a "solid" "local" option.

The name probably tells you most of what you need to know. Located between the Gladstone and the Drake, and blessed with a great patio, this cozy watering hole is famous for its girl-on-girl Sunday parties. Good food and knowledgeable DJs are other attractions.

Upwardly mobile arty professionals down pints, cappuccinos, and burgers at this low-key, alt-classy café/bar. Traditionally chic hanging lanterns mesh with drugstore votives on black-lacquer tables; a plywood bench stretches the length of one wall. Most likely soundtrack: Bowie. Most likely clientele: 30-something music producers and art-gallery employees. Canadian art hangs on the walls.

Information from the business
Diners are usually the last place one would expect to find a rich cultural landscape, unless you consider grilled cheese and milkshakes mind-expanding. But Beaver Cafe's owner, Megan Whiten, manages to weave her family history of fine art into a casual diner located in the heart of Queen West's art district.
