This place is seriously distasteful. It is a basement with very low ceilings, the lights pierce your eyes like knives because they are basically in front of your eyes. The low ceilings make it unbearably hot, and the male washroom… I can’t even mention how disgusting it was. All 5 urinals were clogged and leaking all over the floor. The guys wouldn’t risk getting close to that and everyone was waiting in line
to use the toilet. I would give this place 0.5 starts if I could. 1 star is already too generous. And have I talked about the silliest coat check? They charge per item in a place that already charged you quite a bit of money to get in. If you have two small bags, your coat and a sweat, you are going to drop another pretty penny. The music also felt very outdated. Anyway, I didn’t like it and I sure won’t be coming back.

The venue has always been pretty disappointing, but at least it was LGBTQ+ friendly. Anyone was allowed in for free on Fridays through their guest list, but now it's just like any other club where only "ladies" are allowed to use the guest list for free entry on Fridays. The space itself is abhorrent, it's a low ceiling basement and the drag shows are not even on a stage. They stop everyone at the peak hour to clear the dancefloor for the drag performances...

This club had a great atmosphere for a drag show. The security was fun and friendly and added to the positive space. The music here is pretty mid. The energy was quite low. There was also a lot of straight men at this club who stood to the side and just stood there watching the girls taking away from the vibe and the safe space. There are also a disproportionate amount of straight girls who did not respect the space. Cover was $15 and seemed a bit expensive for what they offered

This is one of the most famous Latin bars in Toronto. There you'll find people from Latin America, enjoying and dancing.

There's a queue to access.
The place is the most common bar , just the way you'd find it in Mexico.
The drag queen performance is nice, but the place used to be crowded, so it's really complicated to enjoy it.
