Nina is genuinely one of the reasons my friends and I return almost weekly to this spot. She is the best server we have ever had. She is always in a great mood and never has a frown even when it's busy. She knows how to hold her own, especially with a packed bar. We are consistently checked in on, and our glasses never run dry. Thank you so much, Nina, for making Locals Only our go-to spot.

I’ve lived in the neighbourhood for over two and a half years, and Locals Only has truly become one of my favourite spots. The atmosphere is incredible, but it’s the staff that make it so special. They somehow make a big city feel like a small town—the servers remember your drink, genuinely care about how you’re doing, and always make you feel welcome. I’ve never been to another bar in Toronto that feels so much like you’re hanging out at your best friend’s place. The service is consistently thoughtful, personal, and warm, and the vibes are always on point. Whether you’re stopping in for one drink or staying all night, they make you feel right at home. Couldn’t recommend Locals Only more. An absolute neighbourhood gem.

Excellent beer selection with plenty of draft options. The food was delicious, and the menu is much more creative than what you'll find at most sports bars. It's refreshing to see unique dishes instead of the usual frozen and reheated food. The price-to-quality ratio is excellent. You get great food, great beer, and great value for your money. I'll definitely be coming back.
