Coming in town for HULLA (don't flame!) and we probably want to save our energy. I see Greg Benz is going to be at System Soundbar but i think that's too much club for us--just a neighborhood or college bar with a noname DJ would be fine. If anyone can help that's great! I didn't post a separate thread on purpose!

Mad Bar
Roxy Blu
Cream
Gypsy Co-op
Nasa Dancepub
Fez Batik
Beba Lounge
Jolly Bar
Club 26
Surface
IV Lounge
Andy Poolhall
Mod Club
FUSE Room
Labriynth Lounge

enjoy!

wow ur stayin right by my old college.. what's the name of the place ?


to answer your question, yes most of those places i listed are walking distance.. the bulk of them are in a westwardly direction about 15 mins by foot along Queen St., College St., Adelaide St, and Richmond St.

the average price of a pint here is about $4-5 CDN which is what u can expect at most of those places i mentioned. i'd suggest Nasa Dancepub.

it's the Bond place or Bond Plaza hotel, a highrise. Apparently not luxurious but price is right!

Nasa pub looked cool--we will check out!

It will take a while to walk from Bond place hotel to Nasa Dance pub on Queen steet, no?

It was a pleasant walk. Nasa kind of blew though. We should have gone to the hippy place, the Gypsy whatever.

Hey sti3, my sis are goign to Chicago, end of July to celebrate my cousins' 21st b-day. He is technically turning 21 saturday night at midnight. Are clubs stingy on the rules if we try to get in say 10 ish. (Crobar/Vision?)

Wow, that's a tough one. I would think they wouldn't be huge pricks about it, because chances are you'd be buying drinks like mad for your friends birthday at midnight or so, but one never knows. Thing is though, at 10pm Vision or Crobar is going to SUCK. Very few clubs in Chicago are decent before midnight. Smartbar, if there are good DJs there, might be a good choice--i can see their bouncers being cooler than the more uptight clubs downtown.

CN Tower is a must while in Toronto. Looking forward to going back up there next month!
