Venue Detail
Buvette Pacey
About this venue
Say hello to the ultimate cozy, queer-owned neighborhood living room—Buvette Pacey. Tucked into a quiet corner of Corktown/Moss Park, this Montreal-inspired boutique cafe, bottle shop, and "drinkery" is a love letter to genuine community care. Named after the owner Shabri’s charming dog, Pacey, this beautifully curated space intentionally partners with local, Queer, and BIPOC-owned businesses to source its goods. By day, it’s a bright, sun-dappled haven pouring premium cortados and serving flaky empanadas. By evening, the lights dim for an upscale apéro culture, transforming into a vital community water hole hosting craft workshops, queer socials, and indie viewing parties.
