El Inka Peruvian Cuisine

9.5
Cocktail Program · 7.5
Peruvian · Appleby / Appleby Village · $$

Pisco is part of the meal plan rather than a decorative bar note. El Inka points diners toward pisco cocktails, and the Tuesday Pisco Sour special gives a practical way to pair citrusy drinks with ceviche, grilled seafood, or Lomo Saltado.

4

Jeera

8.8
Cocktail Program · 7.5
Indian · Appleby / Appleby Village · $$

The drinks page gives Jeera a real bar identity alongside dinner. Cocktails, sangrias, beer, spirits, and non-alcoholic options make the room work for a fuller evening, especially when paired with garlic-chilli starters or Hakka dishes.

5

Spencer's At The Waterfront

8.6
Cocktail Program · 7.0
Fine Dining · Downtown Burlington · $$$

The cocktail side is strong enough to plan around, especially before dinner. Cocktail Hour gives a clear weekday window, while the full list adds house favourites, seasonal drinks, spiritless options, beer, and wine by the glass.

6

Squires Gastro Pub

8.4
Cocktail Program · 7.0
Gastro Pub · Brant Street / Brant Hills Commercial Strip · $$

The drinks list gives real space to signature cocktails, classics, martinis, sangria, and mimosas, so the bar can carry brunch or dinner.

7

Isabelle Restaurant & Lounge

8.7
Cocktail Program · 6.5
Mediterranean · Downtown Burlington · $$$

Cocktails matter most as part of the visit rhythm: they make Happy Hour useful, help the patio feel complete, and give the room a reason to work before dinner.

Jake's Grill & Oyster House

9.1
Cocktail Program · 6.5
Seafood · Uptown Burlington / Business Corridor · $$

The beverage list gives real utility beside the seafood menu. House cocktails, zero-proof drinks, local wine, reserve bottles and draft beer make it easy to build a full meal around oysters, lobster or steak.
