    Hit Church Sunday night for the first time in a little while and was not disappointed by any means. Prior to hitting it up I attended the Beats Ahoy boat cruise which was amazing, and Reign where Addy's b-day celebrations were rampant.

    No matter where I go hover, nothing quite compares to Zone. The quality of music is always so good that I really question why I go anywhere else.

    I got there in time to see arguably my fav DJ Carlio smash it, followed by Kabuto of Costa Rica's prized Kabuto & Koji, who equally smashed it. It appears to me that Zone is entertaining more and more international DJ's these days which says a lot for the venue.

    Any haters must be deaf, or there simply going there for the wrong reasons.

    There is no place like Zone.

    Party hard.  Line up sparkling Saturday night, get dirty and go bonk, see warm daylight again on Monday.  Deeply absorbing electronic music for the open minded cash flowing bull riding sniper.  That makes a normal outing to this Comfort Zone.

    Known throughout the world.  Why? I don't know but I see tourists taking photos in front of the place.

    Located conveniently below ground near a major intersection, near a 24 hour convenience store, near fast food and a mental health and addiction centre.

    This place is unbelievably sketchy. Even just walking past it is terrifying, and everyone knew that before there was that huge drug raid a couple months ago.

    I'm not going to blame the proximity to CAMH (Centre for Addiction and Mental Health) but it seems like the Comfort Zone operates solely to undo all the work that CAMH has done.

    Not only should you not go inside, but you should walk on the other side of the street on your way home late at night. I'm shuddering just thinking about it.

    Step inside the doors of this gritty music scene landmark, and you'll never feel the same way about the bars that try to simulate the concept of a dive bar again.  This is the real deal, and if the crowd looks rough, it's because they've all been watching shows here for the past 58 years.  Saunter up to the bar, grab a pint of 50, lean back and prepare to have your world rocked.

    The Comfort Zone is the dirtiest after hours in the city. There is nothing sketchier than seeing some club kid stumble out of there at noon on a Sunday. This is where you go when it's 6am and the Guvernment is shutting down but you still want to dance dance dance. Yeah right. I've only been a handful of times and each time I've seen something screwed up enough to vow never to go back. Although it's a legal joint (i.e. it doesn't serve booze), the bouncers are rough like a boozecan and the people are the weirdest assortment of club kids, crackheads and just total weirdos. Having said that, sometimes good DJs do late night bookings after their regular gigs there and the music can be pretty decent. As a rule of thumb though, just go home. IF the club is closing, it's time for bed.
