C.C. Lounge & Whisky Bar

What is C.C. Lounge & Whisky Bar? Anchoring the historic 19th-century Beardmore Building along Front Street East, C.C. Lounge & Whisky Bar channels a sultry, Prohibition-era aesthetic tailored to the St. Lawrence Market crowd. The interior balances old-world decadence with nocturnal energy, framed by exposed brick, tufted leather booths, whiskey-barrel high-tops, and an intimate wooden whisky tunnel designed for curated private tastings. As the night deepens, the rear cocktail room and DJ booth transform the mood from a civilized tasting salon into one of the neighbourhood's liveliest late-night scenes.

C.C. Lounge & Whisky Bar Menu & What to Order Liquid gold takes center stage here, supported by an imposing library of over 300 brown spirits alongside inventive concoctions like the Caramilk-infused 'Micky Finn'. The kitchen upgrades standard tavern fare with spirit-forward touches: crisp Brussels sprouts arrive slicked in whisky-infused maple syrup, grana padano, bacon lardons, and hollandaise foam, while the 'Return of the Macc' pizza pairs shaved ribeye with a tangy, house-made mac sauce. For a serious meal before sampling high-proof drams, order the 12-ounce bone-in aged ribeye accompanied by a robust whiskey ketchup.

Know Before You Go Table reservations are strongly advised via their website, particularly for weekend visits or booking the whisky tunnel for group tastings, though solo walk-ins can often snag bar stools early in the evening. Keep the strict dress code in mind: fashionable nightlife attire is enforced, meaning athletic wear, ball caps, shorts, and running shoes will be turned away at the door. Operating hours run Wednesday through Saturday from late afternoon until late night, with subway access a quick five-minute stroll west to Union Station.
