Like all great cocktail bars, Clive’s stocks the world’s best spirits to make their signature drinks. And while they‘ve made a name for themselves based on their cool cocktails, the bartenders at Clive’s also appreciate the art of a whiskey neat. Whatever your poison, be it small-batch bourbon or top-shelf Scotch, Clive’s can help you find a new favourite. And, if the mood strikes, you can even go for something a little more complicated.
Located in the Chateau Victoria Hotel, Clive's is just as the name promises. Reviving the roots of old-school, high-quality cocktail lounges, this place takes mixology seriously, using fresh, often house-made ingredients. And what could go better with a fabulous cocktail than a plate of spinach and feta perogies, or a Thai-style seafood curry? The kitchen is open until 9 p.m., but bar service runs until midnight, Sunday-Wednesday and 1 a.m., Thursday-Saturday.
Come to Clive’s Classic Lounge for dark-wood elegance and bartenders in bow ties. Enjoy a cocktail expertly made, an Aperol spritz for those Victoria summer evenings, or the Nobel Prize worthy Hemingway Daiquiri. There’s a small plates menu, perfect for nibbling as you drink, or a full menu with such alcohol-absorbing treats as bacon-wrapped meatloaf.
