These are the student-friendly bars pouring cheap drinks in Toronto

The school year is already going full throttle, which means that pubs and bars are entertaining young academics with cheap deals once again.

And so that students have one less thing that they need to research, we’ve done the digging on this one.

Here are seven student-friendly bars serving up cheap drinks in Toronto!

At Bar 244, their slogan is “$3 drinks always,” and they live up to that. This is the spot for bumping music with a bunch of different rooms to let loose.
