Toronto scene??

hey all! I'm gunna be visiting the Toronto area this weekend(and it looks like I'm going to be spending more and more time up there in the near future) and was wondering if anything was going on up there? you know.. check out the local scene. so whats good?

 

Nice city just don't veer off of Younge Street in downtown TO! Big queer community. SERIOUSLY!

 

at the queensway and 427 Canadian tire there is the last cruise night on Saturday 6-9 Also up in cooks town there is a good show on Sunday hosted buy the back alley cruisers other then that shows are pretty much done for the winter as far a show goes .I guess its time to work on the roadster lol

 

What are you into? Always something going on around town.

Where are you staying? and are you driving or taking transit?
That could change how far you venture across the city.

 

You know this from experience?

Royal R&K, can you narrow it down a bit? What are you into, where you going to be? You young or older?

Toronto is a BIG city. There's a TON of good restaurants & bars; not a huge car scene. There are some swaps in the area, not sure if anything is happening this weekend.

If you're into live music, check out the Horseshoe Tavern, The Rex or The Dakota Tavern.

 

That's Church St, Dundas to Bloor-ish, and it's actually quite nice there. Homophobia aside. Yonge St is okay. Queen St heading west from Yonge has some good shopping for the missus.

Not much by way of hot-rodding, but some fantastic restaurants down that way. Good blues/jazz/rock clubs too.

 

No! I found out by fuckin' accident 20+ years ago.

That's what happens when you go down a side street you've never been down before.

Then all the locals warned me. Fine fuckin' time to find out!

Shit I thought that whole area was full of partiers and collage students. Boy was I wrong!

 

You're funny.

 

Yeah, something about Jarvis Street rings a bell. I think it was the street that the "House of Lords" is/was on the corner of.

There you go, you wanna see some sites? Check out the characters that hang out side of the House of Lords.

 

Not really.

 

I'll second those choices, never had a bad time at the dakota.

 

Or the Rex, great little joint.

 

We can't forget The Cadillac Lounge either!
A little west but only a 10 min walk from my place.

 

Too bad the Gasworks wasn't still around. Some of the best damn original music around.

 

I used to live around the corner from there, great bar plus they bought a piece of art off me thats hanging up in the place

 

Plenty of stuff to do around here. Again it all depends on the area and what your into.

 

Wow someone is seriously Homophobic! lololol

 

All of Toronto is like that.
Queers and Foreigners, Oh My.



Can't handle it ? Stay home.

 

2 hours east Picton Airfield Armdrop Drag Races.
Jarvis Street? I was born in a hospital on Jarvis Street some 62 years ago.
TO is a great city.

cool! thanks for all the info guys! I'll have wheels, so i'll be able to explore. I'm definately into live music, I think those couple of places might be my sat. night! hopefully i'll get to check out that cruise night or the show!

 

I'm puzzled by this homophobic response; don't gays improve the odds for the straight guys? By the way why are you going to TO? Was it that or jail? LOL

 

Lived there for a couple years in the late 70's. Is the El Mocambo tavern still rockin...

 

Grumbler, The Elmo is getting brought back from the dead and being given it's history back as we speak! Great venue!
