Ti Carlos

What is Ti Carlos? Anchoring a lively stretch of St. Clair Avenue West near Lansdowne Avenue in Corso Italia, Ti Carlos is a classic Portuguese neighbourhood sports and social bar. The room is unpretentious and community-focused, outfitted with a full-length service counter, straightforward table seating, and televisions dedicated to live European football. By day, it serves as a casual gathering spot for locals drinking espresso, transitioning into a vibrant karaoke and drinking hub as the evening sets in.

Ti Carlos Menu & What to Order The counter serves classic Portuguese tavern snacks alongside an unfussy drinks list. Patrons order small plates like salted tremoços (lupini beans), grilled chouriço, and hearty Portuguese sandwiches to accompany rounds of drinks. Cold imported lagers like Super Bock and Sagres dominate the beer orders, while Portuguese brandies and fresh bica (espresso) are pulled all day long behind the bar.

Know Before You Go Tables and bar stools are strictly walk-in only, with no reservations taken. The energy spikes considerably during televised Portuguese league and international soccer matches, as well as during late-night weekend karaoke. The 512 St. Clair streetcar stops directly at Lansdowne Avenue just a few paces away, with Green P and metered street parking lining St. Clair West.
