Original Toronto Star caption: Singles Bars are growing in popularity and numbers in Metro and young people and older people; singles; single-marrieds and some divorced look to them as meeting ground. The mood changes with the crowd and one bar will have purple lights; loud music and a frantic dance floor and another soft lights; ballads and a stand-up bar for conversation. Here Cathy Campbell and Chris Punter talk over a drink at Malloney?s.
