Gay Bars in Toronto, ON

“One of my favourite bars in Toronto!
-Service: extremely friendly and efficient! Love every single one of the bartenders here, and Jimmy (the owner) is the best!
-Vibe: one of the only bars that has rotating events, which is super fun! Weekends are always busy, though they have some awesome special programming during the week too (eg. The monthly Hoebibi party is a highlight for me).
-Drinks: fully stocked bar and the bartenders know their stuff! They also have various food offerings (pizza, nachos, etc.) which is super clutch when you want to nibble on something while enjoying a show with friends!“

“unmöglicher Security am Eingang, schräg, langweilig, teuer, schlechte Ausstattung des Ladens Die Security tappt ständig mit Taschenlampen durch den Mini-Darkroom...wozu?!?. Hat den Namen "Eagle" meiner Meinung nach überhaupt nicht verdient. Die europäischen Eagle sind allesamt so viel besser.“

“I love this place so much. Aside from the area it's in, and having to go down stairs to reach the bathroom - this place is so unbelievably welcoming and safe for queer & trans people. The staff are incredibly kind people and it really shows. I've never felt so comfortable in a room full of strangers before. I really recommend this place, especially for events! It's always a fun time :)“

“Buddies is a Toronto queer institution the work they do here is not only a wicked good time but very very important to preserve. The staff is friendly, the shows are varied, incredibly impressive and one of a kind. If you are looking for a friendly inclusive space that takes every effort to be safe, considerate and entertaining then look no further than buddies.“

“I visited Crews & Tangos during a night out with friends and we had an amazing time! Cheap, quick, and great drinks along with amazing performances. These queens knew how to engage an audience!It’s a tight space considering how busy it gets, but everyone there was so considerate whenever I needed to run over to the bar or washroom and would quickly make space with their friends to let me walk byThe music was awesome, performances were great, and the location is obviously amazing. Make sure you’re travelling in pairs during the evening and don’t forget to bring cash to tip!“

“Toronto's well known gay bar, and it's not a bad establishment. I bet there was history because it literally feels like an old house just redeveloped into a bar/business establishment. I wonder what is the story...

Anyways, I came with the gaggle of gays from Vancouver for the VELD weekend. And we told all the other Toronto Gays to come as well, and we pretty much took over a huge section of the bar and watched Drag queens all night dancing to Charli XCX, Chappell Roan and Troye Sivan. There were of course random gays from Toronto here that I met. They were extremely nice and welcoming, of course. The bar tenders were nice and efficient at their job, would consider them just ok. But they were extremely attentive.

Would come again to celebrate Pride and see how chaotic it would be. LOL“
