TOKI Listening Bar

What is TOKI Listening Bar? Tucked behind a heavy curtain inside TONO by Akira Back on the rooftop of 90 Bloor Street East at the W Toronto, TOKI is an intimate lounge modelled after mid-century Tokyo jazz kissas. Curved acoustic ceilings, low crimson velvet couches, and moody low-lit corners turn the entire room into an analog sanctuary where DJs spin vinyl on a pristine high-fidelity sound system. Seating is strictly limited to intimate sofa nooks and a small bar, providing a music-first escape from Yorkville's usual bustle.

TOKI Listening Bar Menu & What to Order The beverage program is anchored by a dedicated Suntory Toki tap that dispenses ultra-cold, high-carbonation whisky highballs, alongside a structured cocktail roster divided into fruity, umami, and classic profiles. Standout pours include the melon- and aloe-accented Green Samurai, the chili-tinged Yellow Yurū with ají amarillo, and the shiso-infused Sōya Harbor. To complement the drinks, chef Akira Back supplies a focused selection of savoury Japanese-Peruvian Nikkei bites and shareable plates tailored for nightcaps.

Know Before You Go TOKI operates Thursday through Sunday from 6:00 p.m. until late, drawing a stylish crowd after dinner service. While walk-ins are accepted at the door when space allows, reservations via OpenTable are strongly recommended to secure seating in the compact room. Located mere steps from Bloor-Yonge subway station, transit is seamless, and hotel valet parking is available on-site.
