Shakersclub

What is Shakersclub? Housed behind a discreet facade at 1261 Bloor Street West in Bloordale Village, Shakersclub is a moody late-night drinking and dining haunt from hospitality veterans Leemo Han and Ihn Huh, the team behind Hanmoto and Seoul Shakers. The interior channels a dimly lit retro diner with vintage signage, arborite tables, and vinyl bar stools wrapped around a lively central open kitchen, alongside sidewalk seating in the summer.

Shakersclub Menu & What to Order The kitchen turns out an inventive, pan-Asian snack menu that freely blurs Korean, Japanese, and diner-comfort influences into shareable small plates. Essential orders include the scallop-and-beef yukhoe tartare served alongside nori sourdough, plump galbi mandu slicked in chili oil, and mahogany clam frites swimming in a rich shalloty miso broth. For dessert, the red bean sticky toffee pudding topped with buckwheat ice cream is a non-negotiable finish, best enjoyed with cheeky nostalgic cocktails like the Pop Rocks-garnished Cherry Pop.

Know Before You Go Operating entirely on a walk-in policy, Shakersclub fills up fast on weekends, making early arrival around opening or late-night drop-ins your best bet to snag a seat without a long wait. The restaurant runs dinner service Tuesday through Saturday from 5:00 p.m. to late, staying closed Sundays and Mondays. Commuters can easily reach the spot on foot via Lansdowne or Dufferin subway stations along Line 2.
