Cry Baby Gallery is a cocktail bar at 1468 Dundas Street West in Toronto's Brockton neighbourhood, in Ontario, Canada. The bar is reached through a curtain at the back of a working art gallery, which gives the venue a discovery-style entrance and a distinct sense of atmosphere. Visitors first pass through the gallery space before reaching the drinking room. The crowd is typically adult, creative-leaning and neighbourhood-oriented, spanning roughly the twenties to forties, with casual dress the norm.

Cry Baby Gallery is a cocktail bar at 1468 Dundas Street West in Toronto's Brockton neighbourhood, in Ontario, Canada. The bar is reached through a curtain at the back of a working art gallery, which gives the venue a discovery-style entrance and a distinct sense of atmosphere. Visitors first pass through the gallery space before reaching the drinking room. The crowd is typically adult, creative-leaning and neighbourhood-oriented, spanning roughly the twenties to forties, with casual dress the norm. The mood is relaxed and conversation-driven, and music plays as background rather than as a programmed feature. The drinks programme is built around cocktails, which is the specialty listed for the venue, rather than a beer or wine focus. Hours are evenings, and Ontario's last call is 2:00 AM; the specific days and opening times should be confirmed with the venue, since gallery and bar schedules may differ. There is no cover charge. The bar is a small-format venue, so reservations and bottle service are not part of the usual experience, and visitors generally walk in. Prices fall in the mid-range, shown as $$. The Dundas Street West location in Brockton sits in the west end, away from the downtown entertainment core, so it suits visitors who want a neighbourhood setting rather than a club district. Getting there is straightforward by streetcar or bus along Dundas Street West, and taxis or ride-hailing are common for the return trip late at night. Because the entrance runs through an art space, visitors should treat the gallery with the same respect as a regular exhibition, and arriving earlier in the evening can make that easier.
