I'd snatch up any opportunity to see a band perform at Trinity-St. Paul's Church. It's a rarity and for a reason - only the most special tours stop through here, ensuring that the experience is an unforgettable one.

The venue fits just under 800…More »

Like the reviewers below have already stated, finding out that your favourite band is playing at Massey Hall is an absolute treat! The sound quality is unparalleled and there isn't a bad seat in the place, whether you're on the ground floor or one of…More »

5.0 star rating
  4/4/2009

Palais Royale is one of the TOP venues in the city and it's a shame that more concerts aren't scheduled here. I have seen many a DJ here and I believe that the annual Fake Prom was also held here in 2008. But my most memorable time at Palais Royale…More »

Essential Tips From A Phoenix Regular:

GETTING THERE:
Walk southbound from Sherbourne station or take the incredibly unreliable 94 bus along Wellesley OR even the 506 Carlton Streetcar (even less reliable). The Phoenix likes to maintain a line even…More »

Essential Tips From A Lee's Palace Regular:

Lee's got a makeover a few years ago but it doesn't look any less dingy. It's still the same ol' Lee's, but the centre bar has moved to the back and the stage is higher. Sound quality is good, shows are…More »

Canada
(416) 975-0909

Category: Music Venues

Neighbourhoods: University of Toronto, Downtown Core

3.0 star rating
  11/15/2009

A pretty decent place to check out a band before they "make it big" - you too can be that douche that declares "I totally saw Natalie Portman's Shaved Head before they sold out!" Tickets are cheap (almost always under $10) and the acts are usually…More »

Online crime alert! No reviews for Music Gallery? What the...

This ranks among my top three venues for live music, and sadly it's underused for smaller bands. I've seen two setups here - either the church pews are pushed to the side and room is made…More »

This venue has changed names an unsettling number of times. I had just gotten used to calling it "The O'Keefe Centre" and then it became "The Hummingbird Centre" and now it's a brand name. What was so wrong with Hummingbird? It was lovely. Personally…More »
