Toronto Nightlife Tips by thetimidtraveller

Nightlife Spot: My Apartment

Great social spot here in downtown Toronto. Cover charge is high so get there before 9 if possible to save on it but the beer is cheap before midnight so one makes up for the other regardless.

Nightlife Spot: Crocidile Rock

If you're in your late 20s early 30s and want to have a great sociable time this could be the place for you. Cover charge is $5 after nine and beer is cheap until midnight. Friday nights are ladies nights..no cover no lineups. Wednesdays are 911.. any emergency service workers get in with no line up and no cover so if you have any firefighter or police officer fantasies this may be the place for you. Note to out of towners... if you happen to be walking by and feel put off by the line up a quick mention to the doorman about being a transplant may help you avoid a wait. The Croc tends to like a mixture of locals and tourists.

Nightlife Spot: Peel Pub

120 0z pitchers of beer a cheapie menu and big screen T.V.s ...what more need be said. Close to the University so tends to draw a younger crowd.. after the game they start clearing away tables to make room for the dance floor and the DJ starts playing all of the music of the moment.

Nightlife Spot: The Madison

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!!

Nightlife Spot: Spirits bar and grill

Saturday night this place fills up with a wide array of wanna be soloists... some are absoloutely amazing. The guy who leads the night, Welly, will knock your socks off with his Neil Diamond Barbara Striesand duet of which he'll sing both parts. Not for the homophobic as it happens to be located just north of our wonderful gay district and the boys love to come out and sing a wonderful rendition of Its Raining Men. Not to be missed.
