Nightclubs and bars: The Place NOT to go!

  • Any place that opens at 9am on a Sunday means TROUBLE!! This is where all the chemical freaks end up when they stil want to party after everyplace else has shut down...

    Unless you WANT to see people passed out with their eyes rolling in the back of their heads, stay away...

    However, if you're bored on a Sunday, go hang out near the place...it's like going to the zoo..

    anything goes..

    Located on the South East Corner of Bathurst and Bloor, right across the street from Amnesia (no, I'm not kidding) this funky little place is the DIVINE!
    The wait staff is amazing (the waiter Dave is a hottie!) the food is excellent and the Mojito's are YUM!!
    Grab a table and a bite or sit back on the couch and groove out to the Dj's spinning classics..go on, take your shoes off...stay awhile!!

  • For a fun night out in Toronto, check out The Devil's Martini! It's a very large club with a great layout for mingling. Most people are very friendly and out to have a good time. It caters to the 25+ crowd -- and the music is not so loud that you can't have a conversation.

    On Saturday night, get there early or you will have to wait in a long line! Also, watch out for some of the aggressive women attending bachelorette parties. Some may even try to get you to give them articles of your clothing! When I was there, some women attending one such party asked me to give them one of my socks (haha). Great place -- highly recommended!

    Casual, but neat

  • On Friday nights from 5-10pm all drinks are $2.50. It attracts a 25 and older after work crowd. The crowd is well dressed, men are usually in suits. The music is good too and it has lots of places to sit and chat if you don't want to dance. Around 10:00 it turns into a full blown nightclub and the dance floor gets packed and the dress code slowly starts to change as you notice the women are wearing less clothing. A great place to go if you want to go somewhere classy but not spend a lot of money.

    No running shoes, or ball caps.

    I visited the Elephant and Castle pub on Yonge Street one afternoon during my visit to Toronto in February 2006.

    It is a typically English pub with a large bar, English beers on draught, a dining area and flat screen TVs mounted above the bar showing, amongst other things, live English football.

    As well as English beers, the pub also offers Canadian beers (Molson and Labatts) on draught and various bottled import beers.

    My visit coincided with a Premiership match between Liverpool and Arsenal, so I bought a pint of (expensive) Boddingtons (7.30 CAD) and settled down at the bar to watch the game.

  • Named after the Communist Party's mouthpiece newspaper, this place serves one thing: vodka--but about 30 different ways. To be honest, I don't remember a lot about it but my guide said that it hosts many celeb events and my espresso-tini was pretty uplifting.

    I had khakis and a dressier shirt and got in. Pricing is $10 a drink; you make the call.

    Nightclubs and bars: Schmooze it up!

  • Very cool spot. From the size of the bouncers you know it's got high standards (how I got in I'll never know). A big bar in the middle with a few levels. No dancing, just standing and, well, schmoozing. $10 to get in...unsure of the drink price (thankfully probably).

    One thing...if you go to the loo you have to leave your drink on a table outside of the (well-guarded) door (a looong way outside it. Sink area is co-ed, which is interesting.

    AND, I just learned, on Fridays from 5pm-9pm drinks (including Heineken and vodka mixers) are just $2 EACH! No wonder the green bottles were coming fast and furious that night!

    Dress up.

    Nightclubs and bars: My Favourite After Work Bar

    I frequently get asked at work "Where should we go for a drink?". When I say "the Irish Embassy", I get puzzled stares and maybe a giggle thinking that I am making a joke relating to the Irish stereotype with regards to beer consumption. In fact the Irish Embassy is a very popular, somewhat upscale pub, in the middle of the business district in Toronto. The pub is especially popular with business people after work and all the suits seem to mesh well with the marble-top and brass decor. The Irish Embassy is housed in a building built in 1873 that used to be a bank so it has high ceilings and is very spacious. It is also very popular on the weekends. I come here during important football and hockey matches like the Winter Olympics, European Cup and Champions League games.

    At time business attire after work to fit in but usually casual.

    If you haven’t heard of Yuk Yuks yet you should get ready. It’s a chain of stand up comedy bars across Canada. I’ve always wanted to go to one and finally got to experience it in Toronto during and overnight stay there.

    I was walking up Richmond Street after the Lord of Rings show and found the place. It was only $17 to get a ticket in, so I took advantage of the opportunity. I got the last two acts and one of those was the feature.

    JP or Jean Pierre was the first and then came what I call shock comedian John Rouse [http://www.jasonrouse.com/]. Both where hilarious but be warned Jason Rouse’s show is extreme. He pushes the bar and might not be for everyone because it gets worst, worst and worst and the police never show up. He is conceivably the devil. I don’t want my site on VT to be removed so I can’t repeat any of his jokes or it will change the rating of VT.

    On this Saturday night the place was blocked and it looked like I was lucky to find a seat. Here is a warning. Once the show starts if you get up out of your seat, you are asking for trouble and don’t say you were not warned.

    You are going to stick out and you become the target. Poor soul after soul couldn’t control their bladder and in hind sight probably would of pissed themselves. Once you get your seat there are plenty of waitresses running the tables getting drinks.

    I love humor though and seen these shows on television before but it’s not the same as being there live. Definitely go and you’ll be done the show by midnight or so, giving you time to still hit some of the dance clubs on Richmond Street.

    Not being a night owl I never really experienced much of the late night scene here in Toronto but I am informed that pretty much everywhere has to stop serving alcohol at 2 am. Some bars are quite generous in letting you finish your drinks but others will literally herd you out, finished or not.

    Never mind, you can always pick up some non-alcoholic beer from a 24 hr convenience store :(

    No glasses on the patio after midnight - hmmm, where's my beer? It's all gone dark, OMG!
