Bar Datcha moves to its own rhythm—part cocktail lounge, part dance floor, with a soundtrack that shifts from deep house and electro to funk, disco, and live jazz. Tucked into the Mile End, this intimate spot leans into its Russian speakeasy aesthetic: dim lighting, flickering candles, and a cocktail list that feels just as curated as its DJ lineup. Early in the evening, it’s a place to sip a White Russian or an espresso martini while soaking in live jazz or tarot readings. Later, the energy picks up, the music takes over, and the space transforms into one of the city’s go-to spots for underground electronic sets.
