Char N0.5

What is Char N0.5? Tucked beneath the grand staircase inside the Delta Hotels Toronto at 75 Lower Simcoe Street, Char No.5 functions as an atmospheric cocktail lounge in the bustling South Core. The room is shaped by warm metal accents, low amber lighting, plush banquettes, and sleek high-top seating. It serves as a quiet, polished refuge for spirit collectors, hotel guests, and stadium crowds alike.

Char N0.5 Menu & What to Order The bar centers on one of the city's deepest Canadian whisky rosters, flanked by rare international bottles and tailored tasting flights. The Smoked Old Fashioned—stirred with Lot 40 rye and barrel-aged bitters—is an essential pour, as is the inventive Duck à l'Orange cocktail. To pair with the spirits, order the spicy tuna crispy rice, smoked meat croquettes, or buttermilk fried chicken sliders finished with hot honey.

Know Before You Go Tables can be reserved through OpenTable, but high-top and lounge seating routinely welcomes walk-ins. Because the venue sits a short walk from both Scotiabank Arena and Rogers Centre, expect a sharp influx of patrons directly before and after major concerts and sporting events. The bar is conveniently accessible via the indoor PATH network from Union Station and operates Monday through Saturday evenings.
