On Dundas Street in the downtown core, The Squire Barbershop carries a 4.9-star rating across more than 260 Google reviews. Its full name tells you what makes it unusual: Squire Pub and Barbershop, formerly Elevated Barbers.
It is a working pub as well as a barbershop, and the shop frames itself around exactly that combination, describing a space that pairs the camaraderie of a classic barbershop with the conviviality of a welcoming pub. Only one other listing in this directory has a licensed bar, which makes this a genuine category of two rather than a gimmick.
The barbering itself is straightforward and well priced: haircut, junior and senior cuts, beard trims, hot towel face and head shaves, and enhancement add-ons that bolt onto any service. Booking runs through Squire, the platform the shop shares its name with, and the upper-level Dundas Street location puts it within walking distance of the rest of the core.
Core Services: Haircuts, junior and senior cuts, beard trims and express cleanups, hot towel face and head shaves, and enhancement add-ons.
Atmosphere: Barbershop and pub in one room, social and unhurried, built around community rather than turnover.
