Proof Bar is Yorkville's grown-up move: cocktails, Top 40 and weekly DJs, white couches and a secret garden courtyard out back. Smart casual, 19+, busy Friday and Saturday. Here's the honest rundown, plus the free guestlist so you walk in clean.
The sceneProof sits inside the Yorkville Royal Sonesta, and it plays the part. Stylish room, white couches, a secluded patio and a 2,000 square foot secret garden courtyard out back. It's polished but not stiff, the kind of spot you can start the night at or post up in all evening.
This is a cocktail bar and lounge, not a sweaty dance cave. Top 40 keeps the energy up, the bartenders actually know what they're doing, and weekends bring weekly DJs and a mixed crowd of locals, young pros and a few hotel guests. Come for good drinks and a sharp Yorkville night.

Proof's in Yorkville at 220 Bloor St W (M5S 1T8), inside the Yorkville Royal Sonesta Hotel at Bloor and Avenue Road. Upscale shopping, fine dining and culture all around it, easy to reach from anywhere downtown.
Holds about 135 in one room, so it's cosy but lively. Modern design, comfortable seating, white couches and a secluded patio. The standout is the 2,000 square foot secret garden courtyard out back, a rare bit of outdoor calm in the middle of Yorkville.
A mixed crowd: locals, young professionals and a few older guests and hotel visitors. It's a sophisticated, put-together room rather than a wild one. Come for good cocktails and a polished night out.
Proof plays Top 40, the kind of set that keeps a familiar beat going whether you're sipping a cocktail or catching up with friends. Weekly DJs add extra energy on the weekend, so the room never feels flat.
Dress code is smart casual. Stylish but comfortable, sophisticated but relaxed. Dress up a little and you'll fit right into the Yorkville vibe.
No cover at Proof. On a busy Friday or Saturday the free guestlist still smooths your entry, so add your name below before the 10pm cutoff and walk in clean.
