When is Tuesday ever a great night?
Why shouldn't it be?
416 Snack Bar opened in 2011 and quickly became the spot where Toronto's chefs, servers, dishwashers and bussers went to feed themselves after long, hard services.
Twelve years later, tastes have evolved but tables remain elusive - so in April they opened Short Turn, a cocktail bar just a step away. Long and narrow, the space was designed to evoke a vintage streetcar - one with freezing drinks and the culturally-diverse snacks 416 has become known for.
Join Short Turn for a curated trip the way the space was intended to be enjoyed!
