Christmas day

[chenin]

Does anybody know of a bar or pub that will be open on Christmas day? Looking for downtown or the east end.
Thanks

Bumping this up as I am a single female looking for a nice quiet place to have a drink and a meal solo in the downtown area.

Epic would be my pick for a nice, quiet place for a Christmas lunch. It's showing availability for the 12 noon time slot on Christmas Day, but doesn't seem to be showing availability for dinner. www.opentable.com

Avenue or Lai Wah Heen would be my next picks, out of the "nicer" (as in more upscale) restaurants that are open.

from www.opentable.com, for 7 pm on Christmas Day.

Dhaba

Maroli

Annona At The Park

Arriba Restaurant

Avenue Bar and Lounge

Cafe Nicole - Novotel Toronto

Dazzling Modern Restaurant & Bar

Fin Izakaya

Jaipur Grille

Lai Wah Heen

The Marquis Lounge & Bistro at the Hilton Garden Inn Toronto

Just went past Prohibition Gastropub on Queen East just west of Broadview -- it looked open.

Most, if not all, the bars in the major hotel chains should be open.

I don't know if the atmosphere would be suitable but 7 West is open on Xmas Day as well.
