The entertainment scene in Toronto is an aspect of city life which has flourished in recent years, and is continuing to do so. With a vibrant pub and club scene as well as a dedicated performing arts following, you will never be short of something to do after dark.
The city has a healthy live music scene, along with clubs, bars, and taverns. Like the restaurants, the "scene" varies from one neighbourhood to another. What follows are some of the more popular areas.
For the true revellers among you the Richmond, Adelaide and John Street areas are where you should investigate. Huge multi story pubs and nightclubs ensure a good night out. Be prepared to queue, particularly at the weekend, but it shouldn’t take that long before you’re enjoying the club scene with three thousand or so fellow party animals.
The other big club area is Queen Street West and is where the trendier natives spend their evenings. You will need to dress up a little for these particular establishments, but once you’re inside the scene that greets you is the same as the more casual clubs – general mayhem and excellent fun.
Comedy clubs are also extremely popular and can be found throughout the city and the suburbs. With different local performers every night, many also feature some of the better known comedians on a regular basis. Many restaurants also have live stand ups a couple of times a week.
And for those of you who prefer something a little more refined than sweating for hours on a dancefloor, there are over twenty-five professional theatres with local productions making Toronto the third largest theatre centre in the English speaking world. These offer an excellent opportunity for a quiet night out and tickets are not that expensive.
For the best up to date guides for live entertainment during your stay check out the Globe and Mail, Toronto Star and Toronto Sun as well as NOW and EYE, free weekly guides to what’s on about the city.
