What is Lloyd's? Located at 1298 Queen Street East near Leslie Street, Lloyd's is an unpretentious Leslieville watering hole founded by owner Ryan Lucier. Taking subtle aesthetic cues from the ghostly Overlook Hotel bartender in *The Shining*, the room leans into relaxed retro nostalgia with patterned textiles, low string lighting, eclectic memorabilia, and an unmistakable deep red washroom. Seating is strictly casual, offering vintage wooden bar stools, cozy corner booths, high-top tables, and a seasonal curb-lane sidewalk patio.

Lloyd's Menu & What to Order The drinks list balances accessible tallboys with serious cocktails, anchored by the signature Jack Torrance, which shakes bourbon, bitters, and advocaat into a rich, creamy winter-style sip. You can also order a classic New York Sour crowned with a red wine float, or keep it basic with an ice-cold Miller High Life and rotating Ontario craft taps. Food sticks to comforting, low-maintenance bar snacks like all-beef ballpark franks, grilled cheese, and a Jamaican beef patty burger loaded with lettuce, tomato, and mayo.

Know Before You Go Lloyd's is strictly walk-in only, making it easy to pop in for a spontaneous nightcap or a casual group gathering. The space hits peak capacity on Friday and Saturday nights after 10:00 p.m. when the east-end service crowd and cinephiles arrive. Transit is easy via the 501 Queen streetcar stop right outside, and green P street parking lines Queen East.
