Miss Thing's

Miss Thing's owner Nav Sangha was inspired by both his travels to Tahiti and Bora Bora, and his daughter's diva-like antics, when he began working on a new restaurant concept to occupy the former Wrongbar space in Parkdale. In six months, Nav’s vision of transforming Wrongbar into a South Pacific-inspired tropical bar with his own aesthetic twists was complete. By July 2015, Miss Thing's opened its doors to the public, who  were eager to step inside into another world.

The decor is a combination of Nav’s love of music and mid-20th century design. The space reflects a beautifully classic Polynesian-inspired look, with several musical elements. Look up and you’ll see golden gramophone horn light fixtures imported from India and re-purposed in Toronto. Above the bar, you’ll see a restored vintage iron gate and funky geometric shapes that serve as acoustic diffusers. The walls are decorated with floral murals and the chairs are classic gold-dipped Eames Eiffel Chairs. “There’s no thatching, tiki dolls or tiki statues here. We wanted people to feel as if they were walking into an old school hotel somewhere in the South Pacific, a sleek lobby bar, to  make you feel like you’re on vacation,” says Nav.
