Cadillac Lounge

Decent food. Good beer selection but were out of a bunch. Great patio.

Second time here — decent place. Cozy, not huge. Good place to see a band up close and personal.

Was really not impressed with the server here on my last visit on a midweek afternoon. She had a sour look on her face and a very cold and unwelcoming demeanour. After I came in, she hollered at our table from the bar (10 feet away and behind my back) for our order, while pouring a drink. I had to awkwardly crane my neck backwards and yell out my order because she didn’t feel we were worthy of her walking over and properly greeting us at the table for the order. Totally had a crusty vibe and I felt that was very unprofessional.
Food was average at best and felt unfresh. Won’t be returning.

A silly place to have a couple of drinks with friends and get on stage and sing without worrying about being booed!
Good environment, busy on a Saturday night but a nice place that brings out all kinds of people.

Worst service ever! Got takeout there’s nachos and wings and the food was not the greatest my nachos basically plain with cheese and jalapeños nothing else! Wings were dry and no sauce! Basically it’s like they didn’t care! Very disappointed!

A very eclectic bar in Parkdale. Might be burlesque one night, country music the next and then Simpsons trivia. To go along with the vibe, the place has a kinda retro honky tonk feel.
The last time I was there it was Canadian Music Week and it was all Country Bands, complete with fans wearing cowboy hats. Stage was a bit small though and a better time was had singing bad karoke on the back patio.

I tried to order the Kale Salad advertised on the electronic menu at the front of the restaurant. The waitress told me they don’t serve a Kale Salad and that Cadillac Lounge has no electronic menu at the front of the restaurant. I told her she was wrong. She said I was wrong. So we left. On the way out we double checked and confirmed that there is indeed, an electronic menu outside the restaurant AND it contains Kale Salad. SO I don’t know what the hell is going on there.

Chill face… kind of college… old fxcks.. and creepers. A little… don’t be young and cute here. wolves.. everywhere… or chill spot to get hammered… locals only.or. be scared…
Delightful.
There are a bunch fun belts… (girl thoughts)

Great service, delicious short rib tacos ;-)

I’m only rating this place based on the food. If you’re coming for drinks and live music I’m sure you’ll enjoy yourself but eat elsewhere before you arrive. The menu doesn’t have much on it. I ordered a half rack ribs. Was not a fan, Sauce wasn’t good and there wasn’t much meat to it. Wasn’t a bad price but tons of better places in the area to eat before you go to Cadillac Lounge to drink and listen to some music.

Hour and half later, this is a cold burnt patty pretending to be a portobello mushroom in a 12 dollar burger. Good staff but understaffing is a monday to sunday phenomenon. Great music but stick to getting drunk here.

Terrible, overpriced bar fare. Understaffed, disorganized service. It’s not the fault of the staff, but if the managers can’t figure out how to run a bar, you shouldn’t give them your money.

Why are you making me pay 10 bucks for Karaōke? It just feel super money grabby, and I get that you have to make money… but this is straight up the only bar I’ve been to so far that isn’t a strict Karaōke joint that charges everyone at the door. And on a Saturday night, in nice weather, the karaōke was so flipping dead for the whole night, a total of about 12 people sang, while around maybe 5 – 6 singers were on rotation and really getting their money’s worth. So if you want to be the star of the show, pay your 10 bucks I guess?
The waitress had a sour look on her face during our whole service, it seemed like she was an hour away from finishing her shift and she was basically calling it in. She showed up maybe once to ask if we needed anything, but aside from delivering our food and drinks once, she was MIA a lot. But I was like… you know what Girlfriend, I’VE BEEN THERE, and she was trying, so I tipped her anyway, and hopefully racked up some good karmic points. Unless a server is totally abusive to me or crazy, I gotta rep for a person working on their hustle game.
I got their «waffle fingers’ with a side Caesar salad. The salad was actually amazing and I wouldn’t have minded a whole bowl of it, but the waffle fingers, which are basically glorified chicken fingers deep friend in a generic batter sucked. I could tell the oil they were friend in was old, since the batter had a bitter after taste. So WOMP WOMP.
My feller go the smoked chicken wings and OH YEAH, those were some tight wings. They didn’t seem like the store bought frozen shit most bars/​pubs roll out, Cadillac lounge wings are bigger, meatier and have a unique smokey flavor. Loved those wings!!!

LOVE the Caddy!
Great music, great patio, and the food is good too!

Quite a big place with lots of seating inside and out. There’s a live band that plays inside, and the patio is really nice. It has that backyard barbecue feel. A couple stars off because service is a bit slow and staff is a bit distant…

Oh! This place was great.
Came with some friends to watch some live music and have some drinks. Great environment and service.
We wanted something to munch on, so ordered nachos… 16.99… little steep, but whatever. And then it came.
The nachos were served in a cast iron pan, and they weren’t that big.
BUT OH MAN they were the best nachos I have ever had. You need to eat this with a fork as there is so much food, cheese, pulled pork, corn, jalopenos, and a bunch of other yummy stuff in there. After finishing half, my girlfriend and I were completely stuffed.
Go to the Cadillac Lounge and order this dish… we will be stopping by again just to sample the nachos… They were awesome!

Each time I go to Cadillac Lounge I get confused — sometimes the place feels very familiar, at other times everything seems new. Sometimes it feels casual, sometimes uptight. I guess that’s because 905ers are increasingly coming to Parkdale? Or maybe its the hipsters. I am not so certain.
What I am certain is that the bar has great beers, bartenders who are willing to chat and their patio is absolutely gorgeous (well, patios, by the mere virtue of their existence, are usually fab). The interior décor is a bit old school and yes there is a Cadillac seat as well, try to grab it. Can’t miss the noticeable neon sign outside!
I’ve tasted a thing or two from their menu and the food was ok-​ish (however on every occasion that I ordered soup of the day, it tasted like nothing but salt to me). The food was overpriced (for the quality) too, but then I don’t come to a bar expecting great food.
Stick to the beers (or other alcoholic drinks), and come on a friday or saturday night for live music. That’s guaranteed fun.

Came here for drinks with some buddies. I really liked the casual atmosphere and the killer patio.
Service was super friendly.
We didn’t get food, but this is a great place just to chill out with some drinks.

We came to Cadillac Lounge on our last visit to Toronto after making some new friend who invited us to Great Canadian Burlesque’s «Burlesque Brunch». We had an incredible time at the brunch but this review is specifically on Cadillac Lounge. It was a busy Sunday out in Queens West so after the streetcar finally made it down to Dufferin, we were starved.
We’d checked the place out on Unilocal beforehand so we new to look for the big Cadillac out front so it’s not hard to find the place. We arrived a bit early for the brunch show and started off with a couple mimosas. Being from Texas, I’m going to be a bit critical of Southern cuisine up North but the food was actually pretty good, my favorite item being the black beans. The prices were a bit high for bar fare so that was my main complaint. But our server was really friendly and sweet. We connected with her as she was from West Texas where most of my family is also from.
The atmosphere was fun and vibrant and the Burlesque Brunch show was a huge hit. The venue to a great job accommodating the event and it’s patrons. We stuck around for quite a while and enjoyed a few beers after our meal. For our first time spending a day in Queens West, we certainly enjoyed ourselves!

My husband and I stopped in yesterday for some liquid Christmas cheer.
We’ve been a few times in the past and like it.
There were a handful of other people. We’ve had a couple drinks there in the past on Christmas Eve and they closed at 6pm. Last night, they were going to stay open ’til 9 or 10 (or until the bartender wanted to go home).
About a half hour before we left (about 6:30ish), they started playing concerts from the old «Midnight Special» variety show. Lots of fun!
We split an order of nachos which were very tasty.
Our server, Helena, took good care of us.
