Walking in during hockey playoff season, it was awesome seeing so many invested in a Toronto Maple Leafs playoff game, not the norm where I come from. I noticed the spacious pool table area as well. In my neck of the woods, pool table areas are nowhere near as spacious. Drinks are affordable and bartenders like Simon and patrons alike, are super friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend this spot if you're looking for a neighborhood bar feel and I have to say it one more time.

First time visiting Toronto. It's a Tuesday early evening, the bar was not busy. The bar staff was…read moreless than friendly. In fact when ordering a drink I felt like I was inconveniencing the bar staff with a gin and soda order. The bar tender was shorter, fit, very short shaved hair. Made me feel unwelcome and bothersome, he then proceeded to discuss his sexual conquests with the patron who I assume was his friend next to me. Not that that's an issue but when he made me feel uncomfortable in being at the bar anyway. The overall experience was a let down and I enjoyable. Will not be returning.

The staff are friendly and sexy. The guys on Sunday nights are like minded so it's easy to enjoy myself. From my experience, Sunday nights tend to be slightly older and fairly masculine. You don't see many guys using two hands to sip their cocktail through a straw. Most guys are gripping a beer. If there was a way for the dance floor to be a little bigger that would be great but they have done very well as one of the ONLY places to dance on Church Street. The DJ's are fun, especially DJ Dwayne! The pisser has little face sized windows to peer through as you drain and look out at guys walking to and from the dance floor....such a cool idea! The upstairs is a great place to cool off or heat up depending on the weather and what you are looking for. The patio/deck is nice and large with interesting sections to congregate. Summer Sundays offer a BBQ if you are patient and hungry. This place has a lot to offer to a lot of different types of people. I've never had a bad time there.

There were no patrons inside besides our party of 5. She served 2 drinks and gave no change taking large bills. Another group of people entered the establishment and all of the sudden we didnt exist anymore. money was taken, put on top of the register and she walked away to hangout with a younger rowdier group patrons. Time went by, with no acknowledgement although sitting right infront of the bar rail patiently waiting. During this time she stumbled over her own feet, almost knocked over 2 stacks of pint glasses and acted as someone you would cross the street to avoid. After expressing frustration with service she told us to get out(explicitly) and bragged that she has drowned a cat with her bare hands. A disgusting experience. Hope shes not there if you choose to attend ronnies local.

The…read moremarker is in good condition (as is the building) and includes some pictures from their performances. It reads: "Buddies in Bad Times is the largest and longest-running queer theatre company in North America. "Founded by Sky Gilbert, Jerry Ciccoritti, and Matt Walsh, it staged its first play, Angels in Underwear (1979), in a former brewery on Queen Street East. Early theatrical successes included Gilbert's plays Lana Turner Has Collapsed! (1980), the controversial Drag Queens on Trial (1985), and Sonny Mills' Dyke City series (1994-1998). "At first without a permanent home, Buddies staged its plays in many locations. In 1991, it moved to 142 George Street, which was home to the theatre's infamous alternative events, including its provacative dungeon nights and its 1993 Femme Ejaculation Pyjama Party workshop. Despite attempts to have its government funding revoked on moral grounds, Buddies moved to this building in 1994. "Buddies in Bad Times has won multiple Dora Mavor Moore Awards, Lieutenant Governor's Awards for the Arts, and an Michael Lynch Award for Queer History. Today is is an international leader in the development of queer voices and stories for the stage." [Review 10947 overall, 719 of 2019.]

A club with consistently good music, vibes, and staff…read more El Convento Rico is a latin nightclub that offers some of the best vibes in city. Located downstairs at the listed address, you'll more than likely see a lineup formed after 11pm. What I like about this spot is that from the multiple times I've been here, whenever I've been willing to wait in line, I have not had a problem getting in with a moderate wait time. The security here are pretty chill and aren't full of themselves like you'll find at other clubs in the city. When you get inside, the layout of the club isn't the best, but I do enjoy that it is a single room open concept with plenty of room for the dance floor. The washrooms here are usually pretty clean as well. Bartenders leave a little to be desired in regards to hospitality, but I feel that it isn't a chore to get their attention and they are quick to take your order. The best part about this club is easily the music and vibes. Consistently this place will have a good playlist going with the DJs maintaining the vibe as the night goes on. Crowds will flood the dance floor and join in on singing to popular parts of songs, while some will take part in some pretty good latin style dancing. The club does host drag shows during the night, so if you are a fan I implore to come here for a night of fun. Personally I'm not the biggest fan of the timing of the drag shows because I feel it sometimes takes away time that could be spent dancing on the dance floor as the show will take up the entire centre of the dance floor at prime times of the night. Nonetheless, El Convento has become one of my go to clubs in the city. Do I think it's the best in the city? No. But, would I agree to come here at the first mention of it? Yes, absolutely, I feel this place is just such an easy option for a night out that I know will not leave me disappointed.
