Christopher W. • May 31, 2019The best concert venue in Toronto, I've seen so many concerts here and it never disappoints. Looking forward to Alexisonfire and Slipknot. Highly recommend.

Aubrey S. • March 9, 2014The food was exquisite! I had a scrumptious Lobster Mac & Cheese w/ Smoked Gouda, Gruyere and others

Nicole P. • July 18, 2016Very cool atmosphere and interesting beers to choose from. Lots of mid-20's hipsters.

Aaron R. • July 21, 2013Really cool venue, but the sets tend to be shorter here due to the curfew.

HMV • August 27, 2011Historic Toronto venue. You must see a show here at least once. Great sound in a small venue.

the BREL team • January 14, 2012A great live music venue, but also one of the best Sunday brunches around. Kid friendly, live bluegrass, mountains of bacon. Go early (opens at 11am) to avoid lines. Mariachi Monday is awesome too.

the BREL team • May 20, 2013The other awesome live music venue in the hood (but the Dakota can't fit as many people!) Great Mexican nosh and solid beers too

Nelson C. • August 4, 2015Cozy and intimate seating. Great view everywhere!

Paul B. • May 16, 2013Awesome venue! It's small, intimate and loud!! Great staff slugging out beers and every time I've gone had a blast watching some rock and roll baby!!

David D. • November 14, 2010This is such a beautiful venue, intimate and large at the same time.

Ryan • June 18, 2013It was an amazing experience and well ran and put together in front and behind the scene. PSY's "gentleman" performance was the show stopper! Amazing all around. Great work everyone and support.

G33KPRON • August 13, 2011A great bar & fantastic staff, plus the Barcade! Bar + Arcade downstairs!

Lisa • November 12, 2011Tiny little place, the decor here is artistic and awesome, total punk bar with kinda scary regulars, but it's the perfect size for new local bands to play.

Jared G. • April 14, 2010Small rooms, but always a great spot. Secure and safe. All doors have a electronic lock with key passwords.

Ben B. • April 26, 2015Great dancing on weekends. Gets very crowded and sweaty late night.

Euan W. • February 10, 2012The new Indian paneer burrito is great! And, now serving cask ales.

Wes D. • September 21, 2010Try the Geary location instead.

Marvin • August 24, 2015During the summer they host free movies! Great way to spend a summer day by the lake.

Delina G. • March 11, 2015Very accomodating space. We went for a merengue party and it was beautiful and super well organized

Dan B. • August 9, 2014A classic hall on Spadina, and it's small enough for a real intimate show. Real nasty floors though so wear closed toed shoes.

Anu J. • May 16, 2015Great shows and live performances all the time!

ExPlaceTO • September 11, 2015Modeled after the Hollywood Bowl, the Bandshell was built in 1936 at a cost of $47,000. It is still known for it's acoustic excellence. Many great bands have graced the bandshell stage!

Dre L. • March 1, 2013bring beer

Robbyn G. • June 1, 2016Entrance to this venue is not on Adelaide Street! If you don't see the small sign or flags, you'll miss it! Go around the corner onto Duncan Street to get in!
