It is only logical that local population prefers stiff liquors given how low temperature can fall during winter and autumn.

Today, there are numerous, specialized bars that serve mainly one type of drink. You can visit bars with only vodka, whiskey or tequila in their offer and enjoy multiple brands of your favorite drink. Today, this heritage has created a shopping and entertainment district in downtown Toronto called the [Distillery District](https://www.thedistillerydistrict.com) where you will find the former Gooderham and Worts Distillery (later Hiram Walker) has been taken over by by more than 80 shops including tons of restaurants, brew pubs, and bars. ## Nightclubs Similarly to everything else, Toronto’s night clubs are among the best in the world. This is only expected from a city and country with such a high living standard. You can choose between many luxurious night clubs in which you will be treated like a king. Besides that, there are many clubs which have interior theme as their trump card.
