Here's when Toronto's new Shake Shack location will open

Shake Shack is taking over Toronto, one location at a time.

Its second restaurant in the city is gearing up to open next month and it is one of the only locations in the world to have a full bar. Cheers to that! And you can now start counting down the days until its official opening.

On Dec. 4, Shake Shack will welcome hungry fans to its newest location within Union Station.

The "thoughtfully designed space" will feature artwork by a Toronto-based illustrator, Pui Yan Fong.

"Pui Yan's diverse background and passion for storytelling through illustration brings to life the energy of Union Station and the surrounding neighbourhood," shared Shake Shack back in October.

It's safe to say we've all seen how much development Union Station has seen in the last few years - especially with new food offerings. Considering it is Toronto's most important transportation hub, Shake Shack is going all out.

What's new at this Shake Shack location?

As I have mentioned, this Shake Shack location is one of the select few in the world to feature a full bar.

That means you can enjoy its classic offerings while sipping on carefully curated cocktails. Burgers, fries and spritz? I'm here for it.

Customers can sip on four of its signature cocktails. These include:

  • Shackarita: Fun twist on a margarita with tequila, fresh lime, and a hint of agave.
  • The Station Smash: Gin, blackberry, basil, cucumber, and a twist of lemon.
  • Spiked Fifty/Fifty: Shack-made Lemonade, Organic Iced Tea, and vodka.
  • Northbound Negroni: Their take on a classic Negroni, featuring gin, Campari, Dolin Vermouth Rouge.
What else is on the Shake Shack menu?

Not a fan of the booze? No worries.

You can still enjoy its classic drinks and even its Holiday Shakes. Treat yourself to Chocolate Peppermint and Sugar Cookie flavours that are available now until Jan. 6, 2025.

This new restaurant is just one of the two slated to open this winter. The third Toronto location will be inside Yorkdale Mall.

But until then, you can enjoy Shake Shack offerings at its OG location on Yonge-Dundas while you wait for Union Station's location to open.

Shake Shake at Union Station will open on Dec. 4, 2024.
