60's style Diner in Toronto

[austinhargrave]

Hello,

Anyone know of a 60's diner in Toronto, coming from LA to do a photoshoot and the client wants a 60's kitchy diner to shoot it in. Ideally, bright and colorful in the cheesy way!

Is there a finder's fee?...Marimba!

There's Patrician Grill on King E and also one @ Logan and Gerrard (I think it's called Logan Grill) Jim's restaurant on Queen E., There's one on Carlton, between Church and Sherbourne on the south side...

Yes, Logan Grill gets a lot of film shoots. Never really see many people eating there, so renting it out is an easier way to make some money. The light is pretty good. (I shoot full time, so I'm always looking for this.)
Gale's was used in Hairspray. Very small and grungy, but totally authentic.

There is Amazing Ted's in Scarborough.

Gale's is definitely authentic 60's. It'll take considerable propping to be cheesy.

Good luck.

The George Street Diner has a pretty good look.

well, there's Johnny Rokets. I'm not sure how a 60's restaurant would look like, but @ Johnny's they got the old retro looking restaurant. (I am guessing its more of 80's style since it was founded that year, but with some google'ing its looks about the same).
As for location, there's one at Toronto Life Square located on dundas station
