Singer Olivia Dean went to this popular Toronto bar after her concert

After bringing down the house at Toronto's Scotiabank Arena on Tuesday, Aug. 4, the Grammy-winning singer celebrated a job well done at one of the city's most famous gay bars.

If she's looking for the 'Man She Needs,' she'd better be ok with that man also being attracted to men, because Dean chose none other than Church-Wellesley Village institution Woody's to let her hair down after the show.

And when I say "let her hair down," I mean that figuratively, because the singer showed up semi-incognito, hat brim pulled low to avoid too much recognition.

Too bad RuPaul's Drag Race alum Marina Summers, also in attendance at Woody's last night, "clocked her tea," as they say, and shared a video of the singer getting showered with applause at the bar to her Instagram story.

"[What do you mean] i'm a few feet away from olivia dean on a random tuesday night??" Summers writes over the video.

Would Woody's be my first guess for where the singer, lauded for her elegance and classiness, would pop up in the city? Admittedly, no.

But hey, I can only applaud Dean for her choice of après-show celebration spots: for someone who sings about not wanting to be "reined in," there's perhaps nowhere better to let loose than Woody's.

Dean is slated to perform again on Wednesday, Aug. 5, so there's no telling where she'll opt to go out after that one. Dare I suggest Crews & Tangos?
