Ladybug Wine Bar

What is Ladybug Wine Bar? Anchoring 514 King Street East in Corktown, Ladybug Wine Bar channels the welcoming, easygoing warmth of a London neighbourhood pub into a stylish wine bar and bottle shop. Conceived by partners Jessica Blewett and Charles Co—a Le Cordon Bleu London-trained chef and St. Lawrence tavern veteran—the room features soft lighting, curved alcoves, and accessible wine racks where patrons can browse labels directly. Seating extends from the lively front bar and dining room out to a sunny sidewalk patio and a tucked-away courtyard fitted with umbrellas and bench seating.

Ladybug Wine Bar Menu & What to Order The kitchen serves a shareable menu of punchy dishes inspired by sunny culinary traditions, engineered to pair seamlessly with approachable wine flights and by-the-glass pours. Start with the hot garlic tostones brightened by a cumin-lime mojo verde alongside the whipped feta and pomegranate tartine, then advance to rich roast pig cheeks, seasonal croquettes, or spiced Portuguese chicken. Weekend mornings pivot to a solid brunch featuring eggs Benny and colourful tartines, with plenty of designated gluten-free options across the board.

Know Before You Go Corktown locals pack the space for weeknight pours and the popular Tuesday prix-fixe deal, making a Resy booking wise for prime dinner times, though walk-ins can often snag bar seats early. Sunday service offers retail bottle pricing for in-house drinking, and weekend brunch operates from late morning through the afternoon. The 504 King streetcar stops steps from the front door at River Street, with metered street parking available along King East.
