A little pricey, but large portions, we definitely could have shared one order of nachos. Fries were super salty in some spots and needed a better toss. My main gripe is no tap water is offered-- very strange for downtown Toronto. They do mention this on the menu but still disheartening to have to pay for a drink when I've already purchased food and a ticket.

(Attended 09/08/25 MO @ 9:15pm): The lights were bright at this downtown Toronto movie box complex!…read more I was in town attending the 50th Toronto International Film Festival when I was fortunate enough to see a film at the TIFF Lightbox. One of five venues used to showcase films during the festival, this multiplex housed a handful of screenings among its five main auditoriums with an approximate seating capacity range from 45-500+. Formerly named the TIFF Bell Lightbox, this facility opened on September 12, 2010 with the first screened film being "Trigger", on land donated by Ivan Reitman and family. The venue replaced the Art Gallery of Ontario's Jackman Hall as the primary screening venue of Cinematheque Ontario. A cultural center in Toronto, the five-story complex also housed two restaurants, major exhibitions and galleries, a gift shop, a rooftop terrace, and learning studios. Since 2010, it has been the headquarters for the Toronto International Film Festival, and in 2023, the name was formally renamed TIFF Lightbox. How was my first time at this lightbox of movies!? PURCHASE(S) Regular Screening - "Three Goodbyes" ("Tre Ciotole") ($29.00CAD): Shown in the largest Cinema 1, the world premiere of this Italian film based on the bestselling novel by Michela Murgia and directed by internationally-known Isabel Coixet, was a touching movie that followed Marta (Alba Rohrwacher) from a split-up, discovery of a fatal personal illness, and what her life means moving forward before her ultimate demise. A thoughtful yet heartbreaking story that made you think introspectively, the slow pace and at times quick subtitled conversations made it difficult for me to actively pay attention. It was beautifully shot with nice locales. SERVICE All of this was based during the Toronto International Film Festival and not solely on the general on-hand staff. The online ticket sales were a breeze once you found a film that wasn't sold out. The "Rush Line" sales were quick once tickets were released, and every human being I dealt with from festival staffers/volunteers, the box office, and to the concessions was nearly seamless - thank you! PARKING (Varied; N/A this instance): I was constantly in the area all day throughout the Toronto International Film Festival, so I simply walked. Otherwise, there were spots along the many main and surrounding streets, some nearby structures, numerous public transportation options, and rideshares - 'nuff said! ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE Generally speaking, this was your standard multiplex theatre filled with cushy cup holding reclining seats, very good sound system, and auditorium seating so no one blocked your view. Out of the theatres, you had a decent concession stand, a Founders Lounge, sitting areas, a gift shop, in addition to a decent-sized bar dining area. There were elevators, escalators, and stairs that moved you around. Plenty of natural lighting came through the large surrounding windows while electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There weren't any TVs (except at the bar area) nor any background music, but there was plenty of chatter all around. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL I thoroughly enjoyed my time spent at the TIFF Lightbox and would definitely visit them again! Everything ran smoothly enough, there weren't any real hassles, the concession prices were standard with a more broad list of things to eat while the ticket prices were elevated as was the norm for a film festival. The customer service was easy, friendly, and straightforward. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $29.00CAD BEFORE any discounts/tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS

"We all live in a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine." The theater layout is well designed with basically no obscured views. Very clean and well maintained despite it's age, a beautiful and classic venue going back in time over 33 years, oh the stories it must have. Plenty of staff to guide and assist you to your assigned seats. Drinks/bar setup on each floor lobby for those who drink on every occasion. The sound and lighting system perfectly complimented each show I sat in the upper level for Lion King and the mid level for Ones, both levels with perfect views of the main stage with clear sound. Protip- take the side exit after the play is over, a lot quicker than going out the main exit where you entered the thester

Nearing the end of the 50th Toronto International Film Festival, I finally nabbed a couple of film screenings at the Princess Of Wales Theatre. One of five venues used to showcase films during the festival, this large single-screen venue showcased some of the gala premieres with an approximate capacity of 2,000+ seating. Opened on May 26, 1993, it was built by the father and son producing team of David and Ed Mirvish, with the Canadian premiere of Miss Saigon. Designed by architect Peter Smith and featured artwork by Frank Stella. It was the first privately built, stand-alone theatre in North America in over 50 years - and the first in Canada since the historic Royal Alexandra Theatre. Did this theatre make me feel like a princess and provide me with a whale of a time!? PURCHASE(S) Open Captions Screening - "Poetic License" ($29.00CAD): Having world premiered earlier in the festival, this comedy-drama was the feature directorial debut of actress Maude Apatow (daughter of Judd Apatow and Lesle Mann). The story followed a soon-to-be empty nester relocating for her husband's new job. As she attempted to settle in, her entanglement between two college best friends and their fight for her attention sparked the main theme of the film. It was cute, endearing, and sweet as it focused on the character trying to find her footing in a new environment. The pace was very good, the dialog was casual and fresh, and the cinematography was effortless. Sadly, there wasn't a Q&A after this screening. Gala Screening - "Peak Everything" ($29.00CAD): Whether I was drunk, tired, whatever, this film went way over my head, and I lost interest in it fast. Buttered Popcorn Regular Bag ($6.19CAD x2): The addictive aroma of freshly-popped kernels and hot melting butter sucked me in as always. Plus, no movie experience was complete without popcorn and candy (I had no candy...). Armed with only one smallish size to sell, I inhaled these early in the respective films. SERVICE All of this was based during the Toronto International Film Festival and not solely on the general on-hand staff.

Otherwise, there were spots along the many main and surrounding streets, I believed onsite underground parking, some nearby structures, numerous public transportation options, and rideshares - 'nuff said! ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A fairly modern facade, the multi-level interior was beautiful with an old-school movie palace feel, various murals, gorgeous ornation, and bar/concession counters on each level. The seats were cushioned enough (no cup holders nor reclining seats), very good sound system, and slight auditorium seating so someone could've still blocked your view. My first Orchestra Row GG seat I had was a bit angled but fine, while my second Orchestra C Row M seat was really nice except for the cramped seats and tall person in front of me. There were low-incline steps which were easy to climb. Minimal natural lighting came through the lobby windows while electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were various monitors, no background music, but there was plenty of chatter all around. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Princess Of Wales Theatre was a beautiful facility, any live performances would be a treat to see here, and I felt there really weren't any bad seats unless you were in the extreme angular areas. Everything ran smoothly, there weren't any real hassles, the concession prices were standard albeit a limited selection of offerings to eat while the ticket prices were elevated as was the norm for a film festival.

Adelaide Hall is a nice bar type live music venue in the heart of the entertainment district. The…read moredoors are located on the west side of Duncan just north of Adelaide, and easy to spot with plenty of signage proclaiming that it's the cover band spot to be on the weekends with live music just like the good ole days! The first time I went was for the NYE party bringing in 2024 and the cover band played 2000's era music which was very well done and had the crowd singing along. Even the owner got on stage and was lead singer for many of the era's tunes using his phone for the lyrics. Hokey but awesome too! This kind of place reminds me of the days before the popularity of EDM, house music, and bars charging money to hear recorded music. With a live band there is more of a focal point to the evening and more randomness in the music, which makes it more interesting to dance to. Check this place out if you're in the mood on a weekend and tired of the typical pretentiousness of many of the bars in the area, and get back to basics where people are playing real instruments and have plenty of talent to share with the public.

Went for a show and ended up being assaulted by another patron. Security wouldn't do anything…read more(wouldn't even have the person who assaulted me move away from me) and after venue management said that security couldn't do anything if "they didn't see it", I suggested pulling camera footage (which of course venue management refused to do). At this point I ask the venue manager if in this situation i should call the cops to deal with it, and she said if that's what l'd like to do then do it. So I went outside and called, and they wouldn't let me back inside the venue because of this. So what I've learned is Adelaide Hall security is there for no reason and won't help when someone is assaulted. Police report made. This place has no business being open when they don't value public safety and actually side with aggressors. No reason not to pull footage. Karma has this place on her list, I guarantee it.
