Sneaky Dee's

Sneaky Dee's

Sneaky Dee's is a bar on the south-east corner of the College and Bathurst intersection in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Its original location was on Bloor Street west of Bathurst, but it moved to its present location in 1990.

'Sneaks' is a well-known local venue for alternative culture and indie rock, attracting a diverse crowd of writers, artists, serious music fans, and contemporary hipsters. Sneaky Dee's is home to the long-running Wavelength Music Series on Sunday nights, and the popular monthly Trampoline Hall Lecture Series. Many well-known bands have played at the venue, including Kids on TV, The Dirty Projectors, Feist, The Barcelona Pavilion, and Republic of Safety. The restaurant was also featured in the graphic novel "Scott Pilgrim Gets It Together", the fourth in Bryan Lee O'Malley's acclaimed Scott Pilgrim series. The restaurant's menu has a Tex-mex theme, and portions are usually generous and filling.

It was also a known hangout for anti-fascist and Anti-Racist Action (ARA) activists in the early 1990s, and was the scene of a brawl between them and rival organization Heritage Front after the vandalizing of a white supremacist's house in the east end.
