No Vacancy

What is No Vacancy? Anchoring the bustling Ossington strip at 74 Ossington Avenue, No Vacancy delivers a moody, mid-century-tinged cocktail parlor anchored by a refined Korean-Italian kitchen. Steered by mixologists Troy Gilchrist and Kat Yu alongside Chef Brian Kang, the room is washed in amber glow, exposed brick, and polished counter seating. It strikes a rare balance on the street, functioning equally well as an ambitious dinner spot and a lively late-night cocktail haven.

No Vacancy Menu & What to Order The kitchen turns out inventive cross-cultural share plates led by crisp bulgogi arancini, seasoned yukhoe beef tartare, and umami-rich abalone spaghetti. Seafood lovers should target the delicate doenjang-marinated cod, which pairs seamlessly with Gilchrist’s cocktail program—especially The Bad Sleep Well, a bright herbal spin on a Boulevardier, or the refreshing Flicker Flicker Baby. While meat and seafood lead the charge, snack-focused vegetable dishes ensure cocktail-first grazers and pescatarians have plenty of options.

Know Before You Go Bookings through OpenTable are strongly recommended on weekends when the room reaches capacity early and holds its buzz late into the night. Walk-ins can often snag bar stools by arriving right at the 6:00 p.m. opening before peak dinner rush hits at 8:00 p.m. Located steps from both Queen and Dundas streetcars, the venue operates Tuesday through Sunday with doors closed on Mondays.
