Not sharing that to be a deterrent, just to be aware, because this place is great! This place has two distinct areas with two distinct vibes (at least when I went), with one being R&B and dance songs, and the other being country. They have plenty of areas to hang out at, and the overall vibe is a healthy balance between hype and chill! Everyone was super friendly from the security, bar staff, and the patrons themselves!

I didn't try any of the food but I've been informed by local experts of its deliciousness. The beer selection, I can attest, is above average for a dive of this caliber and I'm thoroughly impressed. Staff are super friendly and spare you any of the regular punk snob BS. This place is thoroughly unpretentious and 100% all fun. Even the patrons are sweet! Long live Doors!

The beer they have on special is only 5$ that's cheap (I'm use to Toronto prices) I'm not a beer drinker so usually I go with there cider which is about 8$ or I go with there shot rail special 5$ a shot. I wish the cider was cheaper tho or that they would have a special of it on the weekend. The vibe of the place is great and the outlay of the place is cool, it's a old Victorian looking mansion, run down looking but that's what gives it more charm. The staff are nice and get your drinks quickly. I have yet to try the food tho. Keep up the great work guys.

When it comes to night clubs in Guelph, none do it quite like Palace. The place has a strong…read morereputation to it - not necessarily one of high class, but definitely one of adventure & fun. You either go in knowing exactly what you're getting into or you find yourself in the middle of the dance floor when you could have sworn you were JUST across the street. Either way, you're in for a special evening. Seriously. Tell someone you're "going to Palace tonight" & watch the reaction. Palace is one of the strongest dance clubs in the city. Delightfully trashy, but still carries an exclusive vibe & appeal. The music is always bangin'. The crowds are always alive. The lights are always flashing. The environment is great for the person or group looking to "rage" or get a little rowdy. Dance music, cages, live DJ & a chill spot upstairs. Pricing is a bit high for the quantity & they don't take card, but the bartenders are super nice. Looking for a "different" night? Time to hit up Palace.

I am so conflicted writing this review. The venue itself is the most perfect 70s/80s dance club…read moretime capsule you could ever imagine, and my husband and I were beyond excited to discover it during a trip to Burlington. When we arrived we noticed there were almost no cars in the parking lot, so we weren't completely shocked to discover there were almost no people inside this amazing space. We decided to give it some time, and we waited until almost midnight, but only three or four small groups filtered in (and 75% of them went over to the Latin-inspired club on the other side). The music was great, and exactly what you'd expect from a 70s/80s club, but there was no one to dance to it. The drinks weren't cheap, but again, if there would have been a crowd to dance, it would be a price worth paying. Same goes for the cover charge - we would have gladly paid to join the party had there been one. We felt like we found the holy grail in our quest to find a perfect 80s dance club based on the looks, but like the grail, maybe the most of us Gen Xers are becoming relics who are too old to go out and enjoy this amazing space that harkens back to our prime young adult years.

I remember the $15 charge, which is ridiculous, because youre not getting anything worth $15 in terms of service or ambience. My real beef is accidentally leaving through the turnstile to smoke, immediately turning around, and without a word, the bouncer sliding the "$15 cover charge" sign in front of me to get back in. Cant say I'd ever go back.

When ordering, I highly recommend pairing a small plate or companion with a larger plate! I ordered the Pork Belly Barbacoa and shared a small plate of Olive Oil and Rosemary Focaccia.
