When I went to Toronto for the first time, a friend of mine told me about this new hot spot lounge that recently opened up in the downtown core of the city. All I was told was that it was a sophisticated place to go for a drink. Not really knowing what to expect, when I entered I walked into one of the coolest venues I've ever been to. It was a beautifully designed vintage cocktail lounge with the staff (all beautiful women I may add), wearing beautiful corsets. It was really like going to a classy underground Speakeasy back in the 1920's. It was nothing like I would have expected.

So upon getting seated in these amazing red velvet, vintage tufted couches, I was already at ease and completely comfortable. The vibe was chill and relaxed as they just opened the doors so it wasn't too busy. The cocktail list was absolutely out of this world. Drinks I've never heard or seen before was on this menu and for an upscale establishment, the prices weren't too bad either.

Around 11, the place started picking up and by midnight was absolutely packed. The DJ that was playing played wicked house music and come 12:30, the small dancefloor was packed. I couldn't help but join in on the action because the energy was very infectious. People were dancing everywhere and were really having a great time. At first, I wasn't sure what to expect but the design of the lounge, the music and the drinks all made for one of the best places I've ever been, hands down. Next time I come back to Toronto I will definitely be there again. Highly recommended place to go!

Dress Code: Stylish and sophisticated dress code (Lots of beautiful people there, without the pretentiousness)

Shmooze: Cheap drinks & older crowd
oceania26 profile photo
oceania26 235 reviews

I've been here 4 times, 3 on Saturdays and once on Fridays. The Saturday nights were great but I wasn't impressed with the Friday night...maybe because this club started offering cheap drinks and everyone got drunk and crazy. It's an older crowed...I found it a little more older on Friday nights were there were a lot of ppl after work. $2.50 for drinks both nights - $10 to get in and you can put yourself on the guest list to avoid the line-up...go to website to do that. If you eat there, no cover charge. Music is a mix, not that that great but good enough.

Dress Code: No sporty or atheltic attire, sneakers or baggy cloths...no caps. Women can wear "fashionable" jeans.

The Madison: My favorite pub and piano bar
thetimidtraveller profile photo
thetimidtraveller 37 reviews

The piano bar is in the basement if you are up for a fun sing along. Five patios for your pleasure... darts areas..pool tables...four televisions in the party room and in the center of it all is Madigans..the original bar where it all started. Here you'll find a dart area and five more televisions and a cozy area complete with a fireplace. Of course its a winding trip through the house to find this area so come in and get lost!!

Dress Code: Dress code??? I think that they would like you to come dressed..that's all I know.

diabolical 8 reviews

Newish club.. Went to their Blow-Up night which is every Saturday. Lots of 60's Mod, Brit Pop, Indie, Motown music.
Very "scene" atmosphere. Clean. Trendy.
A lot of "indie" type musicians will come here after their show, if they're not afraid to get out onto the dance floor.

Dress Code: No dress code, but a lot of people were dressed nice. Trendy fashionista's.

Schmooze: Cheap drinks, but upscale crowd

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.

Dress Code: No running shoes, or ball caps.

Bier Markt: Great Selection of Beer!
kehale profile photo
kehale 102 reviews

Bier Market is the kind of place that has never disappointed me. With a wide selection of beer (of course) it's a great place to go for dinner, or for a night out with some friends. Every time I have been there I have always been pleased the food, drink, music and the overall atmosphere of the place. There are two locations, but I have only ever been to the one on the Esplanade. It's a good place to go if you have people with different ideas of fun on a night out. The front is more open with room to stand and talk, while the back provides a mix of live music and a DJ for those who would prefer to dance. But as I have already mentioned... the selling point is the beer selection. I would definitely recommend a stop by - even if it's not for a night out, stop by for some delicious food!

Nightclubs and bars: This Is London

2.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

kehale 102 reviews

Located in downtown Toronto - this is not the easiest bar to find unless you know where you are going. The enterance is actually down a side alley way which you can access from either Richmond St or Peter St.
We've been a few times, once for a going away party and once for a birthday. I do seriously love this bar. It's big and beautiful, even though it's a little expensive.
For the ladies, you seriously have to see the bathroom which takes up the entire top floor. They often have hair and makeup stylists there who will fix you up. Soft plush couches and everything!
If you are going I would suggest getting on the guest list - it just gets you ahead of the line, but it's worth it. Be sure to check out the age requirements based on the night you attend.

Dress Code: They are pretty dressy - no rips, hats, sneakers. Ladies - you'll probably want to wear a nice dress!

Nightclubs and bars: Tattoo Rock Parlour: Headbangers Unite!
platiinum profile photo
platiinum 9 reviews

If you're looking to rocknroll all night, Tattoo is the right place.
Sexy and edgy are the words I'd use to describe the club itself as well as the crowd.
It's the only club I've gone to in Toronto, where the girls aren't snotty to one another, and the guys aren't looking to start a fight. Everyone is here to dance..and headbang.
The club has two floors: Main Room and Lounge.
Main room is where I usually stay as it's roomy and not as intimate as the lounge.

As for music, everything from the classics such as AC/DC to the newer stuff like Broken Social Scene is played.
Fridays at Tattoo they play Alternative, Modern Rock, and Classic Rock.
Saturdays at Tattoo they play Dance Rock.

Dress Code: Whatever you please. Because the crowd here is fairly diverse, you'll find everything from neon leotards to provacative clubwear.
