Guu SakaBar is a Japanese restaurant on Bloor St. West, in Toronto's annex district. It opened in March 2011. It is the sister restaurant of Guu Izakaya. It is located one block east of Bathurst St. on the south side of Bloor St. W. Capacity at Guu SakaBar is significantly larger than the its sister restaurant although wait times can sometimes be more than 1 hour. Fortunately the new location has a sheltered waiting area which makes waiting more comfortable. There is also a Zashiki room for a more authentic izakaya experience.
