Accio A Good Time at This Harry Potter Themed Bar in Toronto

You can ogre belly up to the bar in your Hogwarts uniform or Death Eater robe best at this Harry Potter-themed bar in Toronto. It’s called The Lockhart, a reference to the narcissistic Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, and it’s subtle yet deliberate in its HP theming.

Bar co-owner Paris Xerx shared that sentiment with Now Toronto, saying, “Without knowing any of the Harry Potter stuff, you already will think of this as a cool bar. You’d come here and see the stag’s head on the wall and go ‘Wow, I love that’, but a Harry Potter fan might say ‘That’s a Patronus.'”  There’s even a neon sign with the final words of the much beloved series that reads “all was well,” wrapped up in a neon heart.

If you find yourself in Toronto in need of a good drink and a bit of magic, hop on over to The Lockhart and while away the time in a clever, well done atmosphere. We’ll see you at the bar.
