Now gents in the city have a spot to enjoy a bite and a drink while they are waiting to be lined up with Jimmy Rods Shave Saloon Bar & Kitchen at 480 Queen Street. This hybrid flagship offers dudes the same cuts as any Jimmy Rods location, but this is the first appointment-only location in the franchise – meaning you can book your appointment and arrive early to enjoy a sublime cocktail or gourmet toasted sandwich. The bar is stocked with top-shelf spirits as well as wine and beer, while the kitchen whips up charcuterie and cheese boards to snack on with friends after work.

The barber shop is open from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm Monday to Friday and 10:00 am to 4:00 pm on Saturdays, while the bar operates from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm Monday to Wednesday, 10:00 am to 10:00 pm on Thursday and 10:00 am to 12:00 pm on Friday and Saturday.
