Decoy Bar

What is Decoy Bar? Located at 370 Queen Street East near Parliament, Decoy Bar transformed the longtime Antique Asylum storefront into an effortless neighbourhood local. Founded by Corktown native Michael Yee alongside partner Cory Wells, the room features low moody lighting, casual counter seating, and a leafy back patio operating from late spring through autumn.

Decoy Bar Menu & What to Order Decoy pairs meticulous drink curation with rotating snack offerings, collaborating with chef Koji Zenimaru on plant-based bar snacks while welcoming regular food pop-ups on weekends. The draught system maintains Clean Beer Here standards, pouring pristine taps from Ontario brewers like Godspeed, Bellwoods, and Fairweather alongside Belgian bottles and seasonal frozen cocktails. Grab a tart Fairweather sour or a fresh local lager, order whatever snack pop-up is in the kitchen, and settle in.

Know Before You Go Seating is strictly walk-in, making it an easy stop for a spontaneous afternoon pint or a late-night drink after hitting the nearby Distillery District. Weeknights are chill and conversational, while weekends regularly feature vinyl DJ sets, DIY events, and a packed back patio. The 501 Queen streetcar stops right outside, and the bar opens at 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and 2 p.m. on weekends.
