Such a beautiful place! The view during sunset is unbelievable! The service was amazing—the guy serving us chatted for a while about how the weather is affecting agriculture. It was a very interesting discussion for us. The prices were on the higher side, with the average cocktail costing about 25 CAD. The cheapest drink was a local beer, which I think was around 12 CAD. The balcony is heated and offers a great view. If you’re unsure where to go, the hotel reception will help you find the elevator to the bar.

Been here 3 times so far and it’s becoming one of my chill favourite spots - Love the ambiance! The food is pretty decent. My favourite dessert is the White chocolate pot de creme. So good! 🤌

Absolutely loved our evening at this lounge bar! The Old Fashioned was perfectly crafted-smooth,flavorful, and one of the best I've had. The atmosphere was a moody sophistication and we were lucky to enjoy the gorgeous skyline views on a perfect summer's eve.

The Writer’s Room Bar at the Park Hyatt on Avenue Road is an absolutely stunning spot in Toronto. The atmosphere is elegant and sophisticated, with floor-to-ceiling windows and incredible city views that make it perfect for a date night or special occasion. The cocktails are beautifully crafted and creative, and the food is surprisingly delicious for a cocktail bar. The vibe is calm, stylish, and luxurious—exactly what you’d expect from a high-end hotel lounge. It’s a great place to relax, enjoy quality drinks, and take in the skyline. Overall, a classy and memorable experience in the heart of Yorkville. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a beautiful rooftop bar in Toronto. Shout to out to our amazing waitress Jillian, our cocktail wizard bartender Cesar and to our friendly server who we dont remember his name but he was great !!!!!!

Such creative and delectable cocktails! The views are incredible. I can't believe I've lived in the neighbourhood for several years without thinking of visiting - I'll definitely be back many more time. Obligatory photo included:

This chic yet classic bar is located on the 17th floor of the Park Hyatt Toronto, and serves one of the best bar food and drinks in the city. The corn ribs, smash burger & fries, and dill pickle popcorn were all outstanding, while the service was attentive and approachable. Lastly, the views of UofT and Queen's Park can't be beat! I would highly recommend this bar to anyone in the city looking for a drink.

Came for drinks on a Thursday evening. We had reservations. Great views of downtown and the CN Tower. Service was great and the popcorn was a pleasant surprise. Staff was able to answer questions and make recommendations about the drinks. Great place to spend an evening or just have a drink.

It was my first time at the Writers Room with my best friend to celebrate my birthday and wow!! Firstly, the view was amazing! I can’t imagine how it would be on a nice, sunny day (we’ll have to come back during summer). But not only that, the service was wonderful. I didn’t get her name, but the hostess helped us with our coats and she was really nice. Then we have our server, Sidney, and she was incredible!! She was never intrusive, but instead knew when to check up on us and was very nice to talk to. Truly the best! Thank you, Sidney!! I forgot to snap a photo of our drinks but I highly recommend the Blushing Prologue Frosé! It’s a 10/10 but be warned, a little strong (but definitely not a complaint). We will definitely be back!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Toronto Icon That Never Misses The Writers’ Room at the Park Hyatt Toronto is, without question, my favourite place in the city—and one of Toronto’s most iconic experiences. Perched on the 17th floor of the Park Hyatt at 4 Avenue Road, right at Avenue & Bloor in the heart of Yorkville, it offers a perfect blend of old-school glamour, literary history, and elevated modern luxury. From the moment you step out of the elevator, you’re met with panoramic views of the Toronto skyline—especially magical at sunset or after dark when the city lights come alive. The atmosphere is intimate, sophisticated, and effortlessly cool, attracting writers, artists, creatives, and discerning locals who appreciate timeless elegance. The bar service is exceptional. The cocktail menu is thoughtfully curated, featuring both classic and inventive options crafted with precision. Whether you’re sipping a perfectly balanced martini, a rich old fashioned, or one of their seasonal signature cocktails, every drink feels intentional and refined. The wine and spirits selection is equally impressive, making it an ideal place for both casual drinks and celebratory evenings. What truly sets the Writers’ Room apart is its soul. This space has hosted legends—Margaret Atwood, Leonard Cohen, and generations of thinkers—and you can feel that creative energy in the room. It’s not loud or pretentious; it’s confident, warm, and deeply Toronto. If you want a place that feels special every single time—this is it. Classic, elevated, unforgettable.

What a fantastic spot! I honestly didn’t expect the food to be this good for a cocktail bar. But every bite surprised me. The corn ribs were addictive, the shrimp cocktail was fresh, lamb ribs fall-off-the-bone tender and that pineapple rum cake was the perfect sweet ending. The cocktails were top-notch... creative, balanced and beautifully presented. Service was quick, friendly, and super attentive without ever feeling rushed. It’s one of those places that gets everything right — food, drinks, and vibes. Can’t wait to go back!
