Supermarket Bar & Variety:
Tucked into the heart of Kensington Market, Supermarket is a beloved local hub. A cozy front bar and open back room (no columns=clear sightlines), it’s one of the few venues where every night feels like a community reunion. ♿️ Not Accessible - #SupermarketTO #KensingtonTO
