Where do Celebs go Out in Toronto?

Toronto is an iconic tourist destination and the hub of commerce and industry in Canada. Toronto is a city of dreams and those who have achieved theirs. Like NYC & LA, Toronto is home to TV personalities, movie stars, artists, athletes, and more.

But unlike the other two cities where celebs are constantly tailed by paparazzi, here in Toronto, celebs enjoy a bit of anonymity. They get the best of both worlds here – having some world-class entertainment options at their disposal that they can enjoy discreetly.

So if you’re hoping to spot a celebrity or two on your next visit to Toronto, you’re in luck. Though your chances of spotting a celebrity are high, how do you guarantee a glimpse of a particular one in a city with millions of people?

The answer – be where the stars dine, drink, hang out, and chill!

We’ve done some digging on the top spots celebrities like to hit across the city. But a foreword here – if you come across any celebrity, respect their privacy. They’re humans just like us and may not appreciate being hogged all day. With that in mind, let’s get on with the top spots that celebs frequent in Toronto:

 

  • Yorkville

Yorkville is an upscale neighborhood of Toronto that has several high-end restaurants and lounges. It is also home to the Winter Festival of Lights, making the strip a hit among celebs. Take a stroll through this strip and explore boutique shops, luxury hotels, and classy diners to spot a celebrity here.

The ONE restaurant and STK Steakhouse are amongst the top bills in this area that have seen the likes of Drake, Rihanna, Adam Sandler, Michelle Fairley, and more.

 

  • Ritz-Carlton

181 Wellington St W

Ritz Carlton is a classy, modern hotel in downtown Toronto. This hotel is right in the middle of the action during MLB games featuring local team Toronto Blue Jays, TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival), and the Toronto Caribana Festival. With luxury rooms, a relaxing spa, and a British-inspired gastropub, this hotel counts A-listers like Angelina Jolie, Ryan Gosling, George Clooney, and several Basketball superstars from visiting teams.

If you’re looking for a chance to stay next door to one of them, reserve a room at Ritz-Carlton during TIFF.

 

  • Fashion District

The stretch between Spadina Avenue and Bathurst Street is a bustling area full of fabric stores and clothing boutiques, offices, condos, and more. Encapsulating Toronto’s downtown culture, the neighborhood also has many art galleries, cafes, and restaurants.

Along with King & Queen West, the Fashion District is one of the most happening nightlife spots in the city. You can find a plethora of clubs and bars operating deep during the wee hours of the night.

A friendly stroll through this neighborhood can land the opportunity to spot celebs. Personalities like Justin Bieber and Kendall Jenner have been spotted here in the past. If watching and talking to celebs is what you want, Fashion District is the place to be.

 

  • Trinity Bellwoods Park

790 Queen St W

Trinity Bellwoods Park is a lush green park in West End Toronto that is well-known across the city. You can explore scenic trails, picnic spots, playground areas for children, and a lot more. While we don’t suggest hiding in the bush and jumping out at the first sight of your favorite celeb, you can happen upon a celebrity taking a stroll or jogging at the park.

Trinity Bellwoods also plays host to many festivals and events, attracting the likes of Ryan Gosling and Ellen Page. The best chance to spot elites here is to arrive early in the morning when most locals relax, read, or jog at the park.

 

  • SOHO House Toronto

192 Adelaide St W

SOHO House is a private members club that has locations across the world. Its Toronto outpost is located in a 3-storeyed building on Adelaide Street. Due to its proximity to the Shangri-La Hotel, the whole strip is frequented by celebrities. It has an intimate, relaxing, and luxurious vibe that draws elites peeling away at its clubhouse. Additionally, SOHO members can use the pool and gym facilities at Shangri-La.

The fireplace and stuffed sofas make this the perfect relaxation spot away from paparazzi. From Bella Hadid to Kendall Jenner, this is where you can find the hottest celebs in casual mode.

 

  • The Drake Hotel

1150 Queen St W

The Drake Hotel is perhaps the most popular in Toronto. That’s because it has a Drake mini bar and Drake Underground – an underground nightclub that hosts popular hip-hop artists like DJ Khaled, Drake, and more. While its nightclub can be crowded and only restricted to the artists performing, the mini-bar is an intimate setting where you can catch celebrities enjoying a low-key experience during the after-hours.

The bar has an extensive snack menu along with some pretty impressive wines – some additional perks in case you miss an A-lister.

 

  • The Entertainment District

Right by the city hotspots like King Street West and Spadina Avenue lies the trendy Entertainment District. This neighborhood is primed with restaurants, bars, and clubs that attract partygoers by the thousands. The Entertainment District is also home to several theaters, making this neighborhood a buzzing hive during the night.

Its proximity to everything happening in the city attracts celebrities during TIFF. Locals have spotted Brangelina, Leonardo DiCaprio, and other top Hollywood stars taking a leisurely stroll here.

 

  • Barcode Saturdays

Bottle Services in a Budget: How to Enjoy Luxury Without Breaking the Bank?

Toronto is the ultimate playground for party animals seeking entertainment, glamor, and electrifying nightlife experiences. From dive bars to jazz clubs, and speakeasies to themed luxury nightclubs – the city brings unique and unforgettable experiences for niche party-goers.

The cost of living in the City of Queens is high. But that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your clubbing ritual for that. We’ve compiled a list of how to enjoy a VIP experience without breaking the bank.

 

Enjoying Bottle Service on a Budget

People purchase bottle services for a special occasion or to celebrate big with the gang. However, a question arising here is whether bottle services are worth it. How can you convince your group or guests to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for the VIP treatment?

Being the hottest luxury nightclub in Toronto, we can assure you that although bottle services are expensive – they shouldn’t deter you from partying like a celebrity. Bottle services have no downsides if you plan it right. Let’s take a look at how to:

 

  • An Exclusive Experience

The most common reason that deters people from buying a bottle service is markup. For instance, even a single can of beer at a bar will cost as much as a six-pack. But bottle services are intended for those who value a premium experience.

The target audience for bottle services is narrow, but they’re well worth it due to the many perks they offer. That extra cost you pay for a bottle includes:

  1. Skip-the-line entry
  2. A dedicated server
  3. Prime areas of the club
  4. Couch/table seating
  5. Premium wines and spirits

In short, if you value the luxuries and exclusive treatment that come with bottle services, you’re the right candidate for it.

 

  • Elevating Special Occasions

Bottle services are specially designed to make the most of special occasions. Such occasions like birthdays or bachelorette parties necessitate expenses for everyone to have a superb experience. Special occasions call for special celebrations – this justifies bottle services. Purchasing bottle services will be much cheaper than hosting a private party, more so if there are celebrity appearances in the club. Spending a few hundred dollars for prime amenities and watching your favorite celebs as opposed to a concert ticket worth $1,000 makes much more sense.

At Barcode Saturdays, we frequently host high-profile celebrities who make our bottle services a bargain. If you’re lucky, you can rub elbows with elite personalities and converse with them.

 

  • Cost-effe\ctive for Large Groups

A clubbing myth that looms large among new club-goers is that bottle services are just for the elites. In truth, it is a cost-saving option for larger groups. When you add the cover charges for every individual in your group and the variable prices of premium liquors, a bottle service may sound like quite a bargain.

Cover charges for popular clubs can go as high as $50 for special events. Add to that the average price of cocktails at $20-$25. So if 5 guests have three drinks each, the price can be $550-$625. And this is just cover price and liquor prices. Other miscellaneous expenses like snacks can shoot up this range even more.

At Barcode Saturdays, our gold bottle service package is priced at $750 and can host 4-6 guests. The perks include:

  1. 2 x Premium bottles
  2. 2 x Pizzas of your choice
  3. Your choice of mixers
  4. 4 x Water
  5. 4 x Red Bull

You can see how our bottle services set a ceiling for expenses while being cost-effective for large groups.

 

  • Ideal for Liquor Connoisseurs

Now we have a special segment of club-goers who are liquor connoisseurs. They prefer premium wines and spirits and aren’t worried about the price tag. But even if they were, a bottle service still makes much more sense.

Premium liquors are more expensive. For instance, a shot of a patron may easily cost up to $40 or even higher. If 5 guests order 3 shots each, you’re looking at splashing $600 + for drinks alone.

Bottle services at Barcode Saturdays start at $350. So buying a bottle service with snacks and other perks is more beneficial and cost-effective than purchasing individual shots at the bar.

 

  • The Perks

Bottle services offer the best perks available at the nightclub. And while the collective spending of a group can be exorbitant (especially if it’s a special occasion) compared to a bottle service, there are other intangible benefits as well. Benefits like comfort and convenience, cannot be quantified in terms of money.

But comfort is the main USP of bottle services. There may be individuals in your group who don’t want to wait long hours in the queue or place their orders at a crowded bar. A bottle service gives you:

  1. Expedited entry
  2. VIP seating areas
  3. A dedicated server

All these benefits mean you’re spending more time enjoying than waiting. Along with premium bottles and other package inclusions, these amenities make bottle services a lucrative option.

 

Party like a VIP with our Bottle Services

These were the top reasons people go for bottle services – and why they make sense if you’re planning smart. If any of these reasons resonate with you, consider exploring the option next time you make your way to a nightclub.

Speaking of nightclubs, Barcode Saturdays is a luxury nightclub in downtown Toronto that offers the best bottle services. Our packages are designed for hosting multiple guests with premium bottles and exclusive treatment throughout the night. Find the one that best suits your needs and elevate your party.

If you need help planning a special occasion like a birthday or a bachelorette party, contact our management today. We’ll hook you up with a custom package designed exclusively for your special celebration.

If you’re new to the city, it can be challenging to narrow down an itinerary with the sheer number of options available. So we have compiled a list of trendy neighborhoods boasting thrilling experiences. Let’s take a look.

 

Top Neighborhoods for the Best Night Outs 

Speakeasies – check, rooftop patios – check, luxury nightclubs – also check!

When you are heading for your night out in Toronto, the possibilities are endless. Whether you want to groove to live music, lounge at upscale bars, or heat the dance floor all night long, this city welcomes all with open arms. Here are the trendiest strips in the city to experience nightlife on a high:

 

  • Entertainment District

There is a good reason why they call it the Entertainment District. This strip is a vibrant locale known for food, drinks, and nighttime spectacles.

The Entertainment District is home to the Royal Alexandra Theater – the oldest theater in North America where you can catch musicals and other interactive events. Meanwhile, a visit to Ripley’s Aquarium gives you access to millions of aquatic animals and exhibits – all underwater.

But the most iconic landmark in the neighborhood is CN Tower, a communication and observation tower standing tall at 553 m. It offers panoramic views of the city below as you walk at EdgeWalk. The tower also has a 360° revolving restaurant where you can sample local and international cuisines.

If sports is your thing, head to Rogers Center and catch the Toronto Blue Jays in action, the city’s very own Major League Baseball team. Several rooftop bars are perfect for grabbing a drink and enjoying with the gang.

Visit the Fifth Social Club and say cheers at their rooftop patio, avail bottle services along with live music and great cocktails here.

 

  • Queen Street West

Billed as the second coolest neighborhood in the world by Vogue, Queen West encapsulates the dynamic energy of Toronto. This vibrant neighborhood is home to concept bars, live music venues, restaurants, boutique shops, art galleries, and much more. If you are new to the city, don’t miss a night at Queen West.

Queen West is where you would want to be for a shopping spree. Explore vintage boutiques, branded retailers, art galleries, and locally-owned stores to find unique treasures and soak up the city’s cultural offerings. There are also countless coffee and brunch spots where you can enjoy an espresso with pastries, eggs Benedict, and chicken and waffles.

The world-famous Drake Underground lounge is located at this happening strip. It is the center for live performances, stand-up comedy, and other live events in the basement of the Drake Hotel. There are also plenty of bars and outdoor patios to savor late-night eats, craft beer, cocktails, and more.

Queen West also has an impressive lineup of art galleries with mesmerizing exhibits and paintings.

 

  • King Street West

From dancing and live music to fine dining, King Street West is the spot for all nighttime indulgences. Once the industrial center of town, King West is a happening strip today with some of the most impressive haunts that Toronto has to offer. Here, you will find upscale establishments everywhere you look, from ritzy diners to rooftop patios, cocktail bars, jazz clubs, and luxury brands.

The sheer number of options in this strip means you can spend an entire night here and follow up on everything from supper to dinner and late-night entertainment.

Don’t miss unique dancing and drinking experiences at one of the various bars and nightclubs in this neighborhood. Petty Cash is a well-known establishment at Kings West where you can enjoy a cozy evening of pizzas, live music, cocktails, and beers.

Shopaholics have their hands full at the stockt market, an outdoor market consisting of shipping containers where you eat and shop.

 

  • Dundas West

Dundas West is where the thriving nightlife of the city is in full view. It is home to a vintage collection of clothing, fashion, and home decor stores along with renowned bars and restaurants.

One of the trendiest places to go for your night out ( in Toronto, and that is saying something), Dundas West comes alive every night all seven days of the week. For this reason, the Time Out group declared this the 12th coolest neighborhood in the world and dubbed it the ‘culture consumer’s paradise’.

Head to boutique stores, art galleries, cozy bars, snug coffee shops, or high-end nightclubs to buzz all night. From craft beers and wine bars to unique mixology establishments, you can revel here with retro arcade games, pool tables, live music, outdoor patios – you name it.

Our favorite establishment at Dundas is Montauk, a concept nightclub acclaimed for its cocktails, wines, and beers.

 

  • Little Italy

A few blocks down Kings West lies Little Italy. Perhaps the most charming strip in Toronto, here you can experience the diverse and rich scene of the city. Located in Old Toronto, this strip has been a local favorite since the 1920s and can be reached via Subway and public transit.

Transport yourself to a bygone age with Victorian-era houses lined up by cobblestone streets. Like the fairytale adaptation of Sicily, you can have a ball here with your friends by tasting authentic Italian cuisines and exploring local bars and eateries.

The Sicilian Sidewalk Cafe is the perfect embodiment of this. It is the oldest Italian gelato spot in Toronto where you can sample Italian cuisines like pizzas and desserts. There are several other bars here where you can heat the dance floor or polish your bocce skills.

Theater and cinema buffs should head to the Royal Theater – a gem in Toronto’s cultural prowess. It hosts private screenings, live interactive events, festivals, and free Monday night screenings making this a much-loved spot among Torontonians.

Nestled in the heart of Little Italy at College Street, you will find an extravagant getaway of party animals. Barcode Saturdays is a luxury nightclub that has defined the city’s nightlife for a decade. We host sweltering celebrity parties every Saturday night with live music, premium drinks, and upscale bottle services.

A Day in the Life of Toronto Clubs

You cannot mention Toronto without talking about its vibrant nightlife scene.

We all love to party, and those weekend gigs at nightclubs become all the more rave given the sheer number of options available to dance and enjoy in the city. From rooftop patios during summers to cozy basement bars to heat up during the winters, this city has a plethora of options for a memorable night.

The clubbing scene is different as you hop from one city to the next. To help you learn more about Toronto’s entertainment scene, we have created a short guide that gives you a glimpse of a day in the life of popular Toronto nightclubs. In this blog, you’ll find everything from club timings to dress code and the top 5 haunts that are surely worth the visit.

 

The Clubbing Culture in Toronto

Toronto is a city that never sleeps, however, if you want to party in the City of Queens, you must be aware of the timings. Parties in Toronto usually start a bit earlier – around 10 pm. By 11:30 PM, the clubs become buzzing hotspots with long queues at the door – making it difficult to gain entry. At most nightclubs, parties usually end by 3 – 4 am.

There are various kinds of parties in Toronto that cater to different taste buds. The most popular nightclubs play hip-hop, House, and Dance music, though all of them mix it up with Top 40 anthems that are dominating the charts.

 

Clubbing Dress Code in Toronto

Before visiting a nightclub, we always recommend checking the dress code. A simple Google search will land you on their website where you can find the club’s fashion ethics. A common practice across most clubs in Toronto (and around the world) is the admission criteria, where the doorman or hostess determines if people are adhering to the club’s environment. The idea is to have a sassy group of people party in the club, rather than a horde that resembles a Manchester boy band.

Thus, you should spruce up – which doesn’t necessarily trickle down to wearing luxury labels. An aesthetically pleasing outfit (that turns eyeballs but isn’t provocative) will do the trick here. Ladies can go forth with a bit of makeup and a pair of high heels to compliment their attire.

It is equally important that you arrive at the club with a smile and a light-hearted attitude. No one wants to entertain grim faces who aren’t sure if they’ve turned up to a nightclub or at the Yule Ball.

 

Entry Cover at Toronto Nightclubs

Whether you’re going to a rooftop bar, a lounge, or a nightclub, you’ll be expected to pay a cover charge for entry. Most clubs charge a nominal fee of $20 – $30 (which can be even less for women). If you can pay this charge, it’s not difficult to get entry into any club (provided you’re well dressed).

The situation differs for men a bit. They have to pay a fee every time, which can sometimes go up to $100, especially during special events. Sometimes the cover amount can be redeemed for drinks, but not always.

Men may find it difficult to enter a nightclub alone (without a woman). That’s because most clubs want beautiful women creating Instagrammable moments at their club, so a group of men may not be allowed unless they’ve reserved a VIP table. Reserving a VIP table can be expensive (up to $1000), but it’s worthwhile if you consider package

inclusions as per the number of guests.

Plus, the celebrity treatment, of course.

Another important thing when it comes to partying at Toronto nightclubs is having an ID. The minimum age to enter a nightclub/bar/lounge in Toronto is 19. Thus, you must carry your ID always, unless you want to make the long trip back home.

 

Top 5 Nightclubs in Toronto

Now let’s get to the crux – our favorite places to dance, groove to live music, and socialize with beautiful people. Here is our pick of the top 5 nightclubs in Toronto:

 

  • The Drake Hotel

This lively nightclub hosts rotating events like dance parties, live acts, and cultural events like open mic and slam poetry. There is also a rooftop bar and a lounge where you can unwind and avoid all the noise.

1150 Queen St W

 

  • Coda

Coda is an underground music venue that attracts revelers by the hundreds on weekends. Located on Bathurst Street, this nightclub hosts amazing parties and is crowded during weekend events, so make sure you arrive on time.

794 Bathurst St

 

  • Comedy Bar
