Bar Isabel
Toronto, ON
The 75-seat interior is reminiscent of a Marais bistro or Spanish tavern. With Absinthe on the menu you can almost picture Hemingway perched in the corner, the bar itself nestled in some dark alley off Las Ramblas. The desired "sexy" mood is achieved through red-glow ambient lighting and tunes that range from The Doors through classic soul. Wooden support arches provide intimacy to the room, but it is the tile floor â a beautiful encaustic mosaic â that truly defines the decor. In typical Spanish style, the menu features a host of tapas ideal for sharing.
