i've never been to cz, always wanted to though. after reading all these posts, pretty interesting to say the least. i have a few questions

-how many people can fit at cz, with talks of boyztown, chinatown etc, sounds like a little city.

-when you say gangsters, do you mean real gangsters, or wannabe thugs with baggy pants and such? what do they do that makes them so scary.

-are fights common?
-what about the bouncers? are they as good as at guv?

hahah @ this thread

honestly, I could sit down with a case of beer and talk about zone for 10 hours straight and only be half way through my "INSANE ZONE STORIES"...

good times indeed, and never ceases to be a topic of discussion on both this board and in real life.

Never counted

Ever been to Jane and Finch? If not go and check out the Jane & Finch mall from the inside.....Whatever type you see there.....


-are fights common?

Depends sometimes /sometimes not ...... I have seen guys beating up a dood or couple of doods beating them up with chairs and stuff upstairs....Just dont get gang banged because it wont be a single dood it will be a whole gang.....

-what about the bouncers? are they as good as at guv?

CZ 8/10.........Guv bouncers 10/10

No more than a couple hundred people can fit downstairs. It's the biggest small club in the world It's probably a little bigger than the gallery @ guv.

Never really crossed the gangsters there.. nor do I really look at many people's faces when I'm in the 'gangster' area

I've never seen a fight there. They do happen though. Probably not as common as other clubs. You're way more likely to see someone G out, lol.

Bouncers are the best I've experienced (with the exception of that guy on nyd thinking ummie, myself and ben were dealing). If they catch you smoking or doing drugs they will just tell you to keep it more low key.

I could talk about CZ all day.. it honestly never gets old.

Yes

I have seen a single bouncer stand alone and take down a guy infront of his friends who i would say easily 10 or 15 of them and no one dared to come infront of the dood and he was like in total control even though he was shorter than the dood he was taking down......Guv bouncers can kick ass.....I have seen it.

Fucking right.

Never been, will NEVER go. As for knowing how the scene was like when it first started I'm sure it wasn't like the zone. Sure there might've been some sketch but nothing like what's in the zone from what I hear. Been to enough places in my partying career to recognize a dirty, nasty, shithole of a place to know that I wouldn't have a good time there. (and I have had some fun in places that were questionable, just not every fucking week, man...just don't understand it. I hear a lot in this thread about how it's good b/c there are no drunken idiots, ok sure but from what I see it's b/c of the "high as I kite, wtf is going on" mentality of the partiers there. Probably to the point where I'd be unsettled/annoyed at their stupidness just the same way I m when I drunken idiot does stupid shit at a club, if not more so.

you need to come out and give cz a chance. it's never as bad as anyone says. it's actually pretty tame. I wouldn't call the place a dump either.. it's just dark.

Mebbe, I've had good friends of mine off here say "It's not like it once was." and that "It's not my scene.", so for now I'm taking their advice. I mean like I said I've seen some sketchy shit, just not at freaking 6am or 10am, I'm asleep by then or chilling at someone's house after a party, don't really feel like going to another party atmosphere at that point. Probably because I don't and have never dropped, my energy is toast by then. Only way I have more energy and even then it's tested is on vacation. It's probably also the only time I'd hit up a CZ type of place...randomly. Even in Ibiza I didn't last until 8 or so and that was basically falling asleep half the time poolside.

I was the same way I never gave the zone a chance for the 1st 5 years I was into the scene because of all the stories I herd and what people told me about it. Then one night I got talked into it and I hated it the 1st time I went and didn't go back for over 6 months then I went again and was in a different mind set i knew what i was in for and what to expect and had a blast and now its one of my favorite spots in Toronto. The music is the best in the whole city and everyone there enjoys it in their own special way.

As for the bouncers I fucken love the Zone bouncers you can always shoot the shit with them and there all pretty cool at least to me and my friends. I can't see myself ever chatting to the Guv bouncers. Zone Security >>>> Guv Security

Originally posted by ChemEnhanced 7-8 years ago the Zone scared me...it is so tame now that Guv actually scares me more. I love the atmosphere in the CZ......all the people are there to party and listen to great beats...the true lovers go to the zone. Its dark, its dirty, its a place you wouldn't want your mother knowing you go to....its a throw back to better times...imo.

I agree that CZ has definitely cleaned up since back in the day, though I was pretty young 7-8 years ago and didn't attend, it has come a long way from the first time I went about 5-6 years ago.

I'm not more afraid of the Guv but am much more aggravated when I go to Guv due to how packed it gets sometimes, especially on Halloween.
