I came on a Wednesday night on Jan 22, 2025 at around 6pm and the place wasn't too packed but got busier as the night went on. Upon entering the place, there was many boardgames which was cool! I ended up getting a latte and nachos (which I forgot to take a picture of). I thought it was really well made, the latte and the nachos were also really good! Overall I had a fun experience playing chess and enjoying the latte and nachos. I would recommend this place to those looking for a fun hangout night with friends!

If you order an alcoholic drink, that admission is reduced to $10 pp. From what I could see, the drinks were around $14. Coffee and tea and games are included in that admission fee. The two of us ended up spending $85 as we ordered calamari and fries. We had fun with the games. Fun date night indeed. BTW, for those of us who are noise sensitive, depending on other groups, it can be super noisy as others have fun; I had my loop earplugs and was able to remain chill. No need to avoid crowded fun!! Lots of games that are divided into types; including an awesome section for kids. If you like cleanliness, bring hand sanitizer as the games aren't all well maintained and just be mindful and keep the eating and games separate.

The sushi they served was mostly basic rolls with a couple pieces of nigiri and sashimi every so often. It wasn't the same spread as an actual AYCE sushi resto but it was still delicious and satisfying. It was served buffet style with the chefs making them fresh and laying them out on platters at the front for people to take. The karaoke was great fun and singing in front of strangers was a little nerve wracking but everyone was enthusiastic and supportive. There were singers of all skill levels at this event. Overall it's great fun to come here with friends or for date night and I would recommend to anyone.

Younger me was doing happy dances galore. The mozzarella sticks are cheesey goodness and HUGE. And they have a ton of great board games. And so many trivia and other super creative events.

It's an old Buddhist temple turned into an event space…read more That alone should tell you how cool it is. There are several rooms here, the centerpiece is the great hall... a wonderfully large room with a stage that's outstanding for theater troupes, lectures or large meetings. With it's massive space, interesting acoustics and good sight-lines, there's also the obvious... you could throw a killer party in here. There are other rooms on the main floor. It's a surprisingly good floor-plan for both separation of space and ease of use. Downstairs there are several breakout rooms, classrooms and a giant kitchen. The rumour is that the actual piano that Oscar Petersen learned on in Montreal is sitting detuned in the back of the main stage. Avant-garde groups in the city have been onto this place for a year. It's been rented for everything from conferences and showcases to math-groups and chess clubs. They'll work with you to arrange liquor permits, and are incredibly cool to partner with.

Located just a hop, skip or a stumble away from the Bathurst Subway station, an in an area with more than adequate street parking (within certain hours), 918 is a hidden event venue gem that you actually might mistake as a church - and you'd be right one bc this little beauty used to be a Buddhist temple! The aesthetic is a tad dated in some spots but you can tell they're working hard at modernizing the place more and more while retaining the original charm of the venue. The secondary room and basement are brand new, while the entrance way and the main "ball room" look more original. What I love about this spot? It's the perfect raw space, and you could literally plan anything from a wedding, gala, or trade show to even a concert or speaking engagement here. It's got that look that's the right fit for just about anything - just need to use your imagination!

In an urban…read moreentertainment landscape heavily oversaturated with loud, chaotic lifestyle concepts and aggressive interior aesthetics designed solely for social media distribution, this back-room space functions as an exceptional, quiet baseline for focused appreciation. The structural layout is deeply intentional - the transition from the clean art gallery facade into the dim, acoustically dampened rear space completely recalibrates your sensory input. Logistically, their execution behind the bar is flawless. The drink profiles are balanced with rigorous technical precision; ice clarity is immaculate, and the temperature parameters of the build are respected to ensure the structural profile of the single-malt base is never diluted or chemically shocked. The individuals operating the floor demonstrate genuine modesty, absolute trade intelligence & a rare, high-level respect for client boundaries. They handle service with fluid efficiency, completely avoiding superficial small talk or intrusive pacing metrics. A highly reliable, zero-friction anchor for anyone who demands pure, uncompromised craft, absolute privacy & quiet mental focus. A masterclass in structural restraint.

I'd been hearing a lot about Cry Baby Gallery and how it was one of the best bars in the city, so I…read morewas obviously intrigued. Plus the fact that it's a speakeasy? Color me fascinated! So when we found ourselves out and about and in the Dundas West area, I figured it was the perfect time to pop in. I do love the fact that there's no indication it's a bar on the outside. Looking in, you see a small but cool-looking gallery that may or may not be open. Once you walk in, though, you find yourself confronted with a curtain that leads to a friggin' awesome, super cool bar. We poked our heads in and the two bartenders waved us in. We snagged a couple of spots at the bar and were presented with very cool, very hip menus. I wound up trying a couple of drinks, the French Braids ("Calvados, Del Maguey Vida, Averna, Madeira, French Vermouth, Thyme") and The Zombie ("Cry Baby Rum Blend, Cointreau, Pineapple, Lime, Pimento, Falernum, Sorrel"), and they were both amazing. I'd had cocktails in a similar vein before, but both these concoctions were so far beyond any I'd had in terms of flavors and complexity that I was knocked flat on my butt. I can see why this joint is consistently referred to as one of the top cocktail bars in Toronto. So yeah, Cry Baby Gallery instantly jumps to the top of my list of the GTA's very best bars. It's terrific.

This franchise location has been at this plaza for a few years now. It's just south of Highway 7 in…read morethe same plaza as the Burger King and Vivo Pizza and Pasta. My husband asked about it as we were passing by one evening and I explained the concept, i.e., an art class where you hang out, paint, and if you want, drink along the way. I decided that this would be a great activity for the 3 of us on Family Day. I was delighted to find that it was indeed open that day and so I booked. The class started at 7 but we were encouraged to come 20 to 30 minutes prior to settle in, get our aprons on, get comfortable with any snacks and beverages we wanted, and be ready to begin promptly at 7. When we came in, we were greeted by one of the staff who walked us through what to expect. There are cubbies to put your things away. The seating is somewhat snug so that's the way to go. Kids 13 and up are allowed to join in the painting. You can bring your own food, but not beverages. They sell a fair array of wines, beers, and mixed drinks, including their own signature drink, Dirty Paint Water. We had to try that! It's made with coconut rum, blue curacao, and pineapple juice. I'm not a huge fan of pineapple juice, but it was tasty. At $16 a pop though, we kept it at one drink apiece. They do offer a number of non alcoholic hot and cold beverages. The snacks are limited to a very few prepackaged items such as chips and beef jerky. I read on their website that they have a partnership with Domino's Pizza which gets delivered if you want to place an order. In any case, you don't have enough room or time to eat during the class, so it isn't a big part of the experience. The class itself lasts 90 minutes. The instructor stands on a platform with a sample painting to follow, and paints along with you as they go through the steps to create your own version of the finished product. They have a microphone but your classmates need to refrain from chatting or using the hairdryers provided (to help dry your canvas between steps) to ensure they can be heard by everyone. Our instructor was quite good at pacing the class between steps. They gave a short summary of their qualifications, and explained that the bar staff are also actually fully qualified instructors, so if you need any help or have questions, you can flag them down as well for assistance. Her instructions were clear and easy to follow. At a couple of points during the class, we were given formal 10 minute breaks to allow our canvases to dry in between stages. It allows the perfect opportunity to use the washrooms (which were clean and roomy), stretch, and take a mental break, not to mention, grab another beverage! Our theme that night was Van Gogh's Starry Night. We learned how to divide our canvas, mix some colours, and use the 2 brushes provided to create the desired effects. She gave some hints on cleaning the brushes and thinning the paints to get the desired results. She also gave hints on holding the brushes and applying pressure to create additional effects. The cool thing about our theme and paints was that they are neon acrylics that show under black light. I wish they had that light somewhere in the studio so that we could see it! The few cons I experienced were that I noticed on their website after booking my spots, that I was entitled to a $10 discount for having a group of 3, but had to add the code given in the website description when I had booked. Idk why they wouldn't just automatically apply it when I'm literally booking 3 people in my group. When I'm paying $16 for one beverage once I'm there, I would have appreciated it that much more. Also, the quality of the paints made it difficult to get even coverage on the canvas, to which almost everyone had a hard time having the paint adhere/get absorbed. It is a great experience and I might go back if the fam is inclined to return. It's really cool to have your artwork be your souvenir of a good time. They sell frames you can put your painting in if you wish. They offer a newsletter and perks if you want to sign up and/or come more often. Prices vary according to the day of the week, as well as the size of your group. Be sure to look up the codes you have to add manually yourself at checkout if you want to get the group discount you're entitled to. The choices of subject matter are wide and have something to appeal to just about anyone. It would also make for a great team building experience for work groups. Something I'm definitely glad we did at least once!
