Toronto knows how to stay up late. In October, the city lights up with two of its most iconic nighttime events, Nuit Blanche Toronto on October 4th from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm, and the Toronto After Dark Film Festival from October 15-19. Whether you’re wandering art installations until sunrise or catching a midnight horror screening, rest assured, when the bars close, the night is far from over. That’s where Drink Ink comes in. We deliver your favourite beer, wine, spirits, and coolers across downtown Toronto from 10 p.m. until 6 a.m. on weekdays and until 7 a.m. on weekends and holidays.
This October, make the most of Toronto after the sun goes down with unforgettable events, the right crew, and the drinks you actually want, delivered straight to your door at no extra charge (in our main delivery zone downtown)!
Nuit Blanche: The City That Never Sleeps (At Least for One Night)
Every fall, Toronto transforms into an open-air art gallery for one incredible night. Nuit Blanche fills the downtown streets with massive art installations, live performances, light shows, and interactive pieces. Thousands of people pour into the core to wander, explore, and get inspired.
It’s free, it’s surreal, and it’s a reminder that Toronto is a city that thrives after dark. But let’s be honest: all that walking, gawking, and selfie-snapping works up a thirst.
Instead of waiting in line for an overpriced, watered-down drink, you and your friends can head back to your condo or Airbnb and order exactly what you’re craving. Picture this:
White Claw Hard Seltzer to keep things light and refreshing between installations.
Heineken or Molson Canadian for a classic, no-fuss way to wind down when you finally kick off your shoes.
Or go artsy with a bottle of Bombay Sapphire Gin and tonic, blue like the light shows you just walked through.
With Drink Ink’s after-hours alcohol delivery, you can keep the night flowing without cutting your adventure short.
Toronto After Dark Film Festival: Horror, Sci-Fi, and Late-Night Chills
If Nuit Blanche is Toronto’s celebration of creativity, the Toronto After Dark Film Festival is its darker twin, catering to horror fans, cult cinema lovers, and anyone who enjoys a midnight scare. Running mid-October, the festival screens independent horror, sci-fi, and genre films at select theatres.
Imagine this: you catch a late screening of an indie horror flick that has the whole audience screaming, then head home with friends to debate the ending until 3 a.m. That’s when you open your phone, hit Drink Ink, and stock up without ever stepping foot in a 24-hour convenience store.
Our recommendations for the perfect Toronto After Dark watch party lineup:
Jameson Irish Whiskey on the rocks, smooth, warming, and just edgy enough for a horror movie marathon.
Molson Canadian Cans to share with friends who don’t overthink the movie plot, they just want a cold beer in hand.
And of course, wine lovers can grab a bottle of red, perfect for those vampire-themed screenings.
Because nothing ruins the mood like realizing the LCBO closed hours ago.
Why Drink Ink Is Toronto’s After-Hours Essential
We get it, Toronto doesn’t shut down just because the clock strikes midnight. Nuit Blanche, film festivals, concerts, and parties keep the city buzzing long after last call. That’s why Drink Ink delivers alcohol late at night, right when you need it most.
Here’s what sets us apart:
Hours that match your lifestyle: Delivering 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. (7 a.m. weekends and holidays).
Massive selection: From beer and coolers to premium spirits and champagne.
Free delivery in downtown Toronto: we deliver FAST to condos, apartments, and homes in the heart of the city.
No surprises: Straightforward service, order by phone (no texts please, we’re driving), get what you want, and keep the night going.
Pairing Drinks with October Nights
Toronto in October is electric, but it’s also unpredictable. One minute you’re walking through an art installation in the crisp fall air, the next you’re bundled up at a horror screening. The right drinks keep the vibe consistent:
For the art lover at Nuit Blanche: Try a sleek Grey Goose Vodka martini once you’re back home, classy, bold, and perfect for discussing which installation blew your mind.
For the horror junkie at After Dark: Whiskey or rum (we recommend Bacardi Gold) for late-night storytelling with friends.
For the casual crowd: Stock up on White Claw, Coors Light, or Molson Canadian; they’re easy, shareable, and always welcome.
For the night owls: A bottle of Prosecco to pop at 4 a.m. just because the night isn’t over yet.
Drink Ink isn’t just about delivery; it’s about keeping the night alive in the city that knows how to stay up.
Tips for Making the Most of Toronto’s After-Dark Events
Plan your route for Nuit Blanche – Pick a few must-see installations, then leave room for surprises. Toronto is huge, and you’ll never see it all in one night.
Dress for comfort – You’ll be walking and standing a lot. Sneakers and layers will save you.
