The Bad Angel

What is The Bad Angel? Perched at 1615 Dundas Street West near Brock Avenue, The Bad Angel took over the former La Piscina space to bring an unpretentiously classy cocktail hideaway to Brockton Village. Run by musicians and partners Eden Kaill and Corey, the room features dim lighting, dark wood communal tables, and a tiny micro-stage. The space functions as an easygoing living-room-style watering hole where neighbours can slip in for unhurried conversation and late-night drinks.

The Bad Angel Menu & What to Order The drinks list focuses on house-crafted cocktails made with Canadian craft spirits, accompanied by a rotating lineup of independent Ontario draft beers. Cold months showcase their signature spiced English wassail, a soothing warm cocktail made with porter, Canadian whisky, and warm winter spices. In warmer seasons, the bar transitions to bright, shaken craft libations alongside thoughtful non-alcoholic options. Pair whatever is in your glass with simple bar snacks, or pop in for a digestif after dinner along the Dundas West strip.

Know Before You Go Seating operates on a casual walk-in basis, though select live singer-songwriter showcases occasionally offer ticketed stage-side seats. The space fills up fast during Sunday afternoon jazz sessions and Wednesday open mic nights, making early arrival key for securing a perch. Catch the 505 Dundas streetcar directly to Brock Avenue; the bar opens daily at 5:00 p.m. on weekdays and 3:00 p.m. on weekends.
