A hidden cocktail bar beneath the Marben restaurant on Wellington Street — The Cloak is accessed through a discreet back staircase and occupies a basement space that feels like a private club. The cocktail programme is serious, with house-made bitters, infusions, and a focus on classic technique. The room is small, the lighting is candle-level, and the experience feels genuinely exclusive without being pretentious.
Neighbourhood: King West · Address: 488 Wellington St W (below Marben), Toronto
