Introducing The Lockhart: A Harry Potter-Themed Bar for Parents

Hey there, fellow parents! If you’re a Harry Potter fan and a parent, you know the thrill of introducing your little ones to the magical world of wizards. But guess what? There’s something even more exciting: scoring a babysitter so you can dash off to Canada and have a few drinks with your fellow muggle mom friends at a Harry Potter-themed bar!

Welcome to The Lockhart

Enter The Lockhart, a cozy new spot in Toronto co-owned by die-hard Potterheads, Jamie Finch and Alex Rivers. At first glance, it may look like your typical neighborhood pub, but for anyone with a bit of wizarding knowledge, it’s a magical paradise.

A Magical Atmosphere

Reportedly, the bar has been designed to mimic a modern apothecary, with a hidden Deathly Hallows symbol somewhere in the decor. And the drink menu? It’s full of delightful Potter-themed cocktails like The Shacklebolt, a delicious concoction of ginger beer and spiced rum. They even have a mystery drink inspired by an obscure reference from the series—if you can guess it, you might score a free one!

Thoughtful Design and Offerings

The owners have put in a lot of effort to celebrate the Harry Potter universe without making the place feel overly kitschy. Their drink offerings include a fantastic range of housemade beers and crafty cocktails, with just enough nods to the series to keep it enjoyable for everyone. As one of the owners shared, “Even if you’re not a Potter fan, you’ll still think this is an awesome bar. You might see a stag’s head on the wall and think, ‘That’s cool,’ but a true fan would see it and say, ‘Oh, that’s a patronus.’”

A Perfect Escape for Adult Fans

With the Harry Potter series being around for over a decade now, there are plenty of adult fans out there, but finding a place to geek out about it without a bunch of kids around can be tough. This bar is a perfect escape for those of us who’d rather skip the long lines at Universal Studios’ Wizarding World of Harry Potter to enjoy a Butterbeer in peace.

Most of us may need to wait until we can fly on enchanted broomsticks before we can take a vacation dedicated to visiting such a bar, but it’s refreshing to know there’s a spot out there where grown-up Harry Potter enthusiasts can unwind, away from the kids.
