    Ended up here by accident on a Saturday night, while looking for The Curzon (which is on the other side of town), and boy, what a stroke of serendipity this was!  After leaving the Drake when the masses started to arrive, we traversed the Queen West block looking for this fabled Curzon, and the closest thing to a bar we found was Midpoint.

    It had a pretty decent, mixed crowd, and just great overall energy.  The music was off-the-chain good, and the servers were even getting into it and having a good time.  The vibe was unlike any other place I had set foot into, and so we immediately grabbed a table and started ordering drinks.  In next to no time, we were standing up, dancing and mingling with perfect strangers (anyone who knows Toronto will realize just how much of rarity this is in the city).

    A part of me is of two minds in writing this review.  This place is clearly underground and I don't want word to get out about it, but at the same time, I have a duty to Yelp to ensure that fabulous places like this get the recognition that they deserve.  Don't all crowd this place and ruin it, you hear!
