Good Fortune is the worst-kept secret in Midtown: a basement cocktail bar hidden under La Carnita Uptown on Eglinton. No sign, just a staircase, then a warm room full of plants, neon and green leather. Here is the honest rundown, plus how to lock a table.
The sceneYou walk into La Carnita, find the stairs across from the door, and drop into a different world. Pink stucco, terracotta, palm-leaf wallpaper, bare bulbs and green leather couches. It feels like a secret because it kind of is. Small room, low light, plants everywhere. This is a cocktail bar, not a dance floor.
Come for a real drink and a good talk. The bartenders take cocktails seriously, there is cold beer if you want to keep it simple, and the snacks hold up. It is intimate and it gets busy, so a weekend without a table can mean a wait.
Quick factsThe room is small and it fills, especially Friday and Saturday. For a guaranteed seat, a bigger group or a private corner, book ahead. The layout works for parties: bar in the middle, tables along the walls, easy to mingle.

Good Fortune is at 130 Eglinton Ave E, Lower Level (M4P 2X9), south of Roehampton and west of Mount Pleasant. There is no sign on the street. Walk into La Carnita Uptown and take the stairs down across from the front door. Eglinton subway is a short walk.
A cosy basement that seats around 64 across booths and high-top tables, with the bar at the centre and tables down the walls. Plants, bare bulbs, pink stucco and green leather give it a warm, tucked-away feel. Good for dates, small crews and private parties, not for a big dance night.
A mixed Midtown crowd that comes for the cocktails and the hideaway vibe. Couples, after-work groups, people who like a proper drink in a room with character. It leans relaxed, not rowdy.
Cocktails are the headline and run about $11 to $16. There is a solid beer list if you want to keep it simple, plus snacks to share. No bottle-service club minimums here, you pay for what you order.
No strict dress code, but the room rewards a little effort. Smart casual fits the vibe. Come as you would for a good cocktail bar, not a sports bar.
No regular cover. It runs first-come, but the space is tight, so a reservation is the smart move for weekends and groups. Book a table to skip the wait and walk straight to your seat.
