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've been to this dance club before and for the city of Guelph, I think back in the day this was…read morethe best dance club around town. However, I haven't been to this dance club for a long time since I no longer live in Guelph but if you're ever in the area and looking for Night life this is probably the place to go for this city.

What a fun country bar!!!…read more My friends & I arrived at 8:00 p.m. for the line dancing lessons on a Saturday evening. The security at the front door kept looking at my ID then me. He eventually handed it back to me and said that they put the wrong age on my ID. How flattering! LOL! I was told that the cover is $5 which I didn't believe because almost nothing cost that little anymore so I made sure I had more cash on hand. It's true!!! Another amazing thing they do here is for any designated drivers, they don't charge you for the sodas, OJ and cranberry juice. The lessons started out at intermediate level & even the line dances after the lessons I've never seen or done before so to resolve that issue, I just started requesting the ones I know and DJ Mike happily put those ones on for me. They usually switch over to a regular club night around 11:00 p.m. however this night, he played country songs until 11:30-11:45 p.m. as he said there were a lot of line dancers tonight. Everyone I spoke to there (bartenders, DJs, etc.) was friendly & I really enjoyed my time there. When we left around 12:30 a.m., there was still a huge line outside although the place was already pretty busy inside. NOTE: They only accept cash (cover & bar) so make sure you come prepared.

I just like to say that it should be brought up to the attention of whomever owns or runs this…read moreBar/Grill. My parents were visiting some friends around downtown Barrie, and saw the sign they have out front for the rib special,(1/2 rack, coleslaw and fries for $5.99) so they decided to stop in for dinner tonight. After waiting 10 minutes, the waitress showed up to take their drink orders, they ordered a few beers. After she delivered the beers they placed 2 orders for the rib special that was on the sign outside, the waitress told them, that it was for Monday only. My parents told her, that nowhere on the sign did it say Monday only, and since it was their first time there, they had no idea what the daily specials were . The waitress said that she would go and check to see if they could get the rib deals. After about 15 minutes, a man approached their table and said 'can I help you'? My mom answered 'I'm not sure, are you the chef'? The guy answered no, so my mom asked him if he was the manager, and he said yes, never giving his name at all. They tried to explain that they saw the advertising for the rib special, and decided to try some place new, and nowhere did it say Monday's only, and it was false advertising if that was the case. The manager took the beer's that was sitting on the their table, (unfinished) and said GET OUT. My mom said 'excuse me?" and the manager repeated GET OUT. She told him that they have never been kicked out of a restaurant ever, and that she is a Chef with the CCFCC. He said, 'well isn't that good for you'. My parents got up from their table and left the establishment. She phoned me after it had happened to tell me this crazy story of my parents being kicked out of a sports bar. I have never heard of such a thing, most managers are willing to work with the customers to make sure the customer is happy, never once did he say that he was sorry, or try and offer them another option. I am highly disappointed and shocked that this is the business attitude of an establishment in Barrie.

Decided to give Dirty Martini a try to celebrate my birthday. It was ladies night out and we were…read moreexcited to try somewhere new to dance and were extremely interested in the +25 yr old plus club NO kids! Lol since we were celebrating my birthday decided to splurge for the bottle service. We got a 26oz bottle of absolute vodka, the bottle comes with the booth, server and unlimited mixes. Taxes and gratitude included it was 230.00 ($31.00 gratitude a little steep) for a party of 5 there was no cover due to the bottle service. The demographics of the club are older 40ish, our group is in our early 30s. The music was a combination of hip hop/ R&B/ Top Forty Hits/ some 80s & 90s. We had a great time dancing, and I would highly encourage the almost 30 something's crowd to just give it a try! It was fun, not too crowded everyone kinda sticks to themselves and has a good time. Overall I would definitely return, the icing on my birthday cake was the complimentary champagne we were given to CHEERS my birthday.

The club itself is beautiful and it's nice to have something like that in the east-end without having to go all the way to downtown Toronto. The bottles are also very well priced and totally make sense if there's a group of 5-6 or more going.
