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

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, 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...

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...
