Virginia

The Virginia is a cocktail bar located in Parkdale, occupying the space formerly home to a local doughnut shop. The venue features a stripped-back aesthetic, characterized by exposed brick walls, a long hardwood bar, and intimate candlelit tables for two. Its design and atmosphere are intended to provide a refined, sultry environment that encourages lengthy, relaxed conversations throughout the evening.

The drink menu focuses on simplicity and precision, offering a curated selection of approximately ten cocktails. Offerings include creative takes on established classics, such as a riff on the Dark and Stormy made with Havana Club rum, ginger, lime, and bitters, as well as the Jack Rose, which features apple brandy, pomegranate, strawberry, and lemon. The bar is designed to be a quiet, sophisticated nightlife option in the neighbourhood, suitable for those looking to enjoy focused, well-crafted drinks in an understated setting.
