Soubois

This is the spot that does double duty — start with dinner and drinks, end at a party. Named for the French word for undergrowth, it's a basement space designed like an enchanted forest (think a chic Burning Man rainforest café), in a Maisonneuve basement that was once the legendary sloppy Peel Pub. As the night wears on it turns into a raging, stylish party with a better soundtrack than its crowded-sports-bar predecessor. The dinner-to-dancefloor move in one room.

A downtown basement 'bistro du terroir' designed like an enchanted forest — dinner and drinks early, then a raging stylish party with a good soundtrack as the night wears on.
