If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that dating, at least in terms of actually going out at the moment, is quite the task to undertake. Masks and vaccine proof are necessary, don’t get me wrong, but it does tend to sap some of the fun out of heading out with that special someone and hitting the town. Alright, that’s out of the way. As restrictions ease and the world begins to go back to normal (fingers crossed), there’s nothing better than treating your date to a fine night out to one of the many fabulous cocktail bars within the GTA.
A little “social enhancement” to liven the evening’s festivities is never a bad thing and is always welcomed (please, drink responsibly). But, finding the right establishment to suit your intentions, the mood you wish to set and most importantly, the overall fun factor is paramount and can serve as an exclamation point to your evening. A toast to you and happy hunting.
