College Street Bar / Bar
College Street Bar, though it's difficult to decipher from the weird and abstract name, is a bar on College Street. Located in the midst of Little Italy, College Street Bar...
The Underground Garage / Bar
The Underground Garage is a self-described "urban saloon" located in the Club District. I recently visited the Underground Garage on one wintery Thursday evening. I was directed up to the...

Aria Entertainment Complex / Dance Club
The Aria Entertainment Complex had been spamming me to death with Facebook ads for their new club, and having viewed their over-the-top promotional video which resembles a high-end diamond or...
Cabin Five / Dance Club
Cabin Five bills itself as a "no-nonsense party bar that puts a premium on fun rather than worrying about velvet ropes". It's a lodge-themed club in the Club District that's...

Troika Vodka Boutique / Bar
Troika Vodka Boutique is a lounge inspired by Russian elegance, located on the cusp of the Financial District. Prior to my visit, I did what any red-blooded Canadian who loves...

Wallflower opened up just over 2 weeks ago on Dundas West, and is announced on a Saturday night by a street-side sandwich board, and a large front window coated in...
Nyood Bar / Dance Club
Nyood Bar is located above (predictably enough) Nyood Restaurant, and borrows some of the same sharply-dressed, posh-esque ambiance. Quick note about my experience with the Nyood brand thus far: years...
Uniun Nightclub / Dance Club

Bassline Bar / Bar
Bassline Bar opened its doors about 2 months ago, on a stretch of Bloor just east of Ossington that even its owner admits has seen some significant changes. "Now, women...
Hawaii Bar / Bar
Hawaii Bar isn't exactly the flower-strewn, multicoloured drink haven I imagined. The tiki theme is apparent only through the potted plants above the bar, the ocean-blue walls, and a lone...
Stones Place / Bar
Stones Place proves that there's no such thing as aging gracefully: not when it comes to hard-living rock stars, not when it comes to their women, and certainly not when...
The Lot / Comedy Club
The Lot, Toronto's newest venue for stand-up comedy in the cabaret room of the Lower Ossington Theatre, opened its doors to a sell-out crowd on August 25th. Ryan Belleville, whose...
Linsmore Tavern / Bar

3030 Dundas West / Bar
3030 Dundas Street West is, incidentally, both the address and name of this new Junction bar. The lack of concrete signage isn't laziness, but could rather be interpreted as a...
Lula Lounge / Live Music
Lula Lounge is by no means new. In fact, it's offered a bright marquee along Dundas West for over ten years, and after the intermittent, and expected, struggles associated with...

- Montauk Sweet light fixtures.
- Montauk How was "WHO GOES THERE" filled out when the bar hasn't even officially opened yet?
