Do you guys know any bars in Toronto that don't card? I really don't mean to sound like one of those vapid teenagers who is far too young to be going out and drinking. I'm turning 19 in November and have just moved to Toronto for university and I'm just looking for a casual bar or pub to hang out and get a couple drinks with friends until my birthday. Please let me know! Thanks!
Pretty much everywhere cards. Your best bet (and this is honestly easier than you might expect) is to just get someone’s ID that looks similar to you. This is how we’ve done it for generations. People will have no trouble giving you their expired G1, or Health Card or something. Sometimes you’ll get a hassle — but you can easily explain how you’re a worry-wort and don’t want to bring ID out that you need and might lose. They’ll roll their eyes, you look tough back at them, and you’re in. The hardest time I ever had with this was in Halifax when we were trying to find an ID for a friend who was black — and even then we managed it.
