The Sunday Blues in Toronto
Toronto doesn’t play around when it comes to bachelor parties. Canada’s biggest city is stacked with everything you need: gorgeous women, high-energy nightclubs, epic rooftops, legendary sports bars, and private strippers who’ll turn your Airbnb into the hottest club in the city. Add in topless waitresses serving drinks all night, and you’ve got a weekend the groom won’t forget (even if he tries).
But here’s the problem: once Sunday morning rolls around, the “Sunday Blues” hit hard.
Two or three nights of partying in Toronto = wrecked groomsmen. Sunglasses indoors, Uber Eats receipts piling up, guys swearing off tequila forever… and then the big question:
What do you actually do in Toronto on Sunday when you’re hungover after a bachelor weekend?
The good news: Toronto’s got you covered. From greasy food and peameal bacon sandwiches to spas, craft breweries, rooftop cocktails, and laid-back vibes, the city has plenty of ways to wrap up your trip on a high note.
Here’s your ultimate Toronto Sunday survival guide.
1. Brunch Like Your Life Depends On It
Toronto brunch = essential. Whether your crew is destroyed or still functional, here are three levels to choose from:
King West
Fancy: Gusto 101 – sleek Italian spot with killer brunch plates and an industrial-chic vibe.
Normal: Wilbur Mexicana – casual Mexican food that’s hearty but not overwhelming.
Classic Greasy: Figs Breakfast Lunch – no-frills diner feel, huge plates, and bottomless coffee.
Downtown Core
Fancy: Cluny Bistro (Distillery District) – French-inspired, stylish, and a solid spot for those holding it together.
Normal: Richmond Station – co-owned by Top Chef winner Carl Heinrich, great for comfort food with class.
Classic Greasy: Fran’s Restaurant – Toronto institution, open 24/7, breakfast-all-day diner energy.
Queen West / Ossington
Fancy: Aloette – upscale but fun, think truffle fries and steak & eggs.
Normal: Mildred's Temple Kitchen – cozy and creative plates, a neighborhood favorite.
Classic Greasy: The Swan: A Firkin Pub – pub food, pints, and zero judgment for hungover groomsmen.
2. Grab Toronto’s Iconic Hangover Snack
Montreal has bagels. Toronto has peameal bacon sandwiches.
Head to St. Lawrence Market for the famous peameal bacon sandwich at Carousel Bakery — soft bun, thick cut bacon, mustard. Perfect plane snack and a Toronto rite of passage.
Pro move: grab extras for the flight home.
3. Recovery Mode: Spas & Hangover Fixes
When brunch isn’t enough, you’ll need real recovery. Toronto’s got options depending on how dead you feel.
Luxury Reset: Body Blitz Spa – hydrotherapy, salt pools, eucalyptus steam room. Great if you want to sweat out last night in peace.
Functional & Central: Elmwood Spa – four floors, saunas, massages, hot tubs. Downtown and group-friendly.
Performance Fix: Revibe Toronto – IV drips, cryotherapy, oxygen therapy. Intense but effective.
Cheap + Cheerful: Korean Town Spas – 24-hour jjimjilbangs and no-frills massages that actually work.
Bottom line:
Very hungover → Body Blitz.
Hungover but functional → Elmwood.
Destroyed but need a medical fix → iCRYO.
Cheap + fast → Korean Town.
4. One Last Rooftop Drink
If the boys aren’t ready to call it quits, Toronto rooftops are perfect for one final round.
Lavelle (King West) – poolside rooftop with skyline views.
The Porch (Entertainment District) – casual rooftop, good group vibes.
Kost (Bisha Hotel) – Miami energy, 44 floors up with insane views.
5. Craft Beer “Hair of the Dog”
Toronto is loaded with breweries. A pint or two might be the smooth landing you need.
Bellwoods Brewery (Ossington) – legendary IPAs and chill vibe.
Steam Whistle Brewery (near Rogers Centre) – iconic pilsner, easy location.
Amsterdam Brewhouse (Waterfront) – big patio on Lake Ontario, great for groups.
6. Movies & Hideouts
Sometimes silence + AC = heaven.
Cineplex Scotiabank Theatre (Downtown) – comfy recliners, central.
Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema – indie vibe for crews that want something artsy.
TIFF Bell Lightbox – stylish venue with smaller crowds.
7. Shopping & Souvenirs
Need jerseys, sneakers, or funny gifts for the groom? Toronto’s shopping is endless.
Eaton Centre (Downtown) – classic mall, big brands.
Queen Street West – streetwear, boutiques, vintage shops.
Kensington Market – quirky souvenirs, local shops, and snacks.
8. Fresh Air Reset
A slow walk can actually fix you.
Harbourfront – lake views, boats, breeze.
High Park – big green space, chill stroll.
Distillery District – cobblestone streets, coffee, artsy shops.
9. Order In & Roast the Groom
If the crew can’t move, stay in the Airbnb and hit delivery:
Poutine from Smoke’s
Pizza from Maker
Burgers from Burger’s Priest
Shawarma from Ali Baba’s
Throw on music, recap the weekend, and make fun of the groom one last time.
10. The Sunday Send-Off Strategy
Here’s the formula that works:
Morning: Brunch in King West or Downtown.
Midday: Spa or recovery (Elmwood or Body Blitz).
Afternoon: Rooftop or brewery.
Evening: Chill movie or order in.
Night flight? Grab a peameal bacon sandwich from St. Lawrence Market.
That’s how you end strong.
End on a High Note
Toronto knows how to party — but the real test is how you recover. The Sunday Blues don’t have to ruin the groom’s last hurrah. With brunch, spas, rooftop drinks, beers, movies, and plenty of laughs, you can close out the weekend on a high note and send the groom home (barely) functional.
Because the parties are wild, but the recovery stories are the ones you’ll laugh about for years.
