From English pub charm to delicate Japanese saki, Smith Street will always provide somewhere suitable for you to imbibe a pitcher of liquor or two. Occasionally, however, one may feel that it’s time to rise above the masses to somewhere a little more serene. Collingwood World is perfect for such an occasion, with its lofty ceilings and broad, sweeping bar that curls as if it were hugging a globe. A concise but well thought out drinks list is encased in an emptied out vinyl cover, and one wall of the interior is covered by a map of the infamous streets of Collingwood. So, one can sit back on a large couch, sip on an espresso martini, look at the streets of the neighbourhood and admire the large open room that feels like a warehouse apartment.
