Fun venue with classic small club rock concert vibes. Sound is good and had a charm to it that will give you that quintessential concert memory. Security can make things awkward by staring at you expecting you know what to do with showing ID and opening your jacket to get checked. Most venues security is up front about what they need to help do their checks.

All in would always keep coming back!

Awesome spot, cozy atmosphere with the band. There's a good amount of space with seating all around the pit. Even if you're hanging out at the back by the bar, you can still catch a decent view of the stage.

The entrance is on the smaller end and the sidewalk on Bloor is fairly narrow, so the line to get in usually snakes around the back, past the corner of the main street.

Last weekend, I went to Lee’s Palace for the first time for the Daft Punk Party, and overall, it was a great experience!

Pros:
•	The music was really good, and the DJ was on point.
•	The sound system was perfect, delivering a solid, immersive experience.
•	There was plenty of space for dancing, which made the night even better.

Cons:
•	The coat check situation was a bit of a mess. There was a huge line on the stairs, and the girl working there didn’t seem too interested in helping. I gave her $20, but she only gave me back $1 instead of $15. Later, when I went to get my coat, I realized she had given me the wrong number, and she had to search for my jacket. Luckily, it was right next to the incorrect tag.
•	The bar didn’t have any energy drinks, which was a bit of a letdown since I was hoping for a Red Bull.

Despite those minor issues, the night was fantastic, and I’d definitely go back for another good party!

Nice sized venue that gives an intimate feel and allows you a good view regardless of where you're situated. I only have qualms with how damn crowded it gets. An issue applicable to most venues but i find it genuinely aggravating trying to navigate your way through merch lines / bar lines & a pathway to the bathroom as all of them cross through each other and make for a hassle and wasted time. Other than that the sound is great and the staff is friendly.

Went to a concert here and the washrooms were separated into two categories - men’s and all genders. the women’s bathroom upstairs was locked up and completely inaccessible, the “all genders” bathroom consisted of maybe 10 urinals and 3 stalls. clearly a preference in a “gender” if there isn’t the same amount of stalls vs urinals, but I digress. As I was trying to find the women’s bathroom there was a group of other girls trying to access the bathroom that was locked up and they were hesitant to use the “all genders” bathroom that was left to them as the only option. it was unbelievably uncomfortable to be using the washroom with other men present, and I’m sure they didn’t appreciate my company much either. So, why is it always the women's washrooms that disappear? why aren't the men's washrooms for 'mixed' genders? why is it only women’s that always get sacrificed? if the women’s washroom was out of service, or was being worked on, they could’ve easily just done a men’s and women’s bathroom like usual to accommodate, not sure why they felt this was the best solution. other than the absolutely deplorable condition of the venue itself, they obviously don’t care for their female patrons safety or comfort. will not be supporting this venue again.
