Rehab Bar & Grill

About this place Rehab Bar & Grill

Rehab Bar & Grill occupies the bar-and-grill format on Manchester Avenue in The Grove, providing the food component that pure gay bars often lack and making it a practical option for visitors who want to eat and drink in the same LGBTQ+ environment before moving on to Just John or Attitudes for the later part of the evening. The food is bar food done well — the kind of substantial, affordable American bar menu that fuels a night out effectively. The atmosphere is lively and gay-bar-calibrated: the kitchen and the bar operate in parallel, the crowd is mixed between those who came specifically to eat and those who arrived for drinks and found themselves hungry. Manchester Avenue is visible from the bar area, and the street energy of The Grove contributes to the sense that you are in the right neighbourhood for the evening. Rehab is the sensible first stop on a Grove bar crawl — a drink and some food before heading next door and down the street to the other venues on the strip.
