Sonic closes; Toronto goes back to being crappy

I guess it's not necessarily MTL news per se, but Sonic is closing on March 10th. Sad, sad news. That place was awesome.

you can market a club as something, but the original is unique and unmatched.Plus people in toronto just aren't ready for it.

People in Toronto aren't ready for it? LOL

Clubs in Toronto with Alcohol do not close at 4 am. Most huge venues which hold 10,000 people such as Guvernment nightclub, the Docks etc.. open until 8 am with HUGE DJ Talents. This creates an AUTOMATIC PROBLEM FOR AFTERHOURS IN TORONTO. Unlike Montreal, where ALL CLUBS EXCEPT CIRCUS AND STEREO CLOSE AT 4 AM, THESE TWO CLUBS OPEN AT 2 AM. I Party in Montreal a lot. And same for in Toronto. Yes the vibe in Montreal is better... BUT Do not say the people in Toronto are not Ready. It is like saying Montreal is not ready to be a world class city... Well, you get my point.

Toronto has the largest CLUB DISTRICT IN THE WORLD... (Number of clubs per people...) and when CIRCA officially opens up with 4 floors and 50,000 SQ feet it will be the largest CLUB IN CANADA (and maybe North America)...

Toronto has an afterhours which goes from 6 am Sunday until 4 am Monday NON-STOP! Then another club which opens from 2 am Monday for the official After-After party until 8 am Monday... the best music can be heard at these two places whether they are considered holes or not. That I can guarantee.

SONIC was an amazing club. Sound wise compared to Stereo. It just didn't succeed because of the many clubs in Toronto that stay open past 4 am... No one wants to pay two covers or leave a venue to go to the next venue when both close at same time.

Toronto is READY. the competition is HARSH!

Well we still have Footwork Saturdays, which imo is the best place to go party here on a Saturday right now. Very small space, but because of that it has a very intimate atmosphere. Great music too. They don't just try bringing in the big names like so many other places.

Sad to see Sonic go, but not really surprised.

Yes Sonic will close its doors March 10th... But just like the old BOA, 270 Spadina and the now SONIC nightclub, something will re-open in that same space... I am almost certain. ..

Why are you so optimistic?

I think people should finally give up on that spot. It's fucking cursed. Oh, and "270 Spadina" was never an official name. They just used that during the transition phase from Boa -> Sonic.

Personally I wish it would've just stayed 270, minus most of the decor and all. Leveling the dancefloor out would've been enough.

You guys spent more time complaining about shirtless men than anything else.I will restate Toronto was just not ready for a club like that.Leave Cozo out of the equation...its not Stereo.And mentioning Guv is funny because its like Costco with strobe lights.The vibe couldn't be matched...why?You just weren't ready for it
