The best nightclubs in Toronto come alive when the sun sets. These venues are supplying dance floors, DJs, booze—bottle service, even, if the vibe is right.
LessPolson Pier's massive entertainment complex dwarfs the others at a whopping 45,000 square feet. Theatrics abound from the 65-foot stage and LED video walls to the terrace with sweeping views of Toronto’s skyline. Prepare to dance your butt off to the booming sound system.
Featuring top-flight guest DJs and popular dance parties, this second-floor club in the Annex is the spiritual successor to former Toronto's underground electronic dance fave Footwork. The music keeps playing ‘til 3 a.m. every Friday and Saturday.
The city is short on after-hours when compared to other urban hotspots abroad but this Gerrard East club is filling the void. The best time to head here is probably sometime after 2:30 a.m. when the party really gets going with DJs that run the gamut every week.
Party above the oldest pub in Toronto at the King West venue. The two floors above Wheat Sheaf Tavern have been transformed into an antique-filled club for hip hop and Top 40 jams. Old timey, but make it sexy.
King West's newest clubby arrival is a trippy, guestlist-only lightshow that, in its short lifespan, already counts Drake as one of its patrons. There are over 400 light fixtures and a steady lineup of talent on the turntables to keep the party bumping all night.
What used to be Wayward is now a club blasting mostly hip hop on Tuesdays and Thursdays to Fridays. Head above the pizza spot Good Son for glitzy UV girls and booth rezos, sparklers included.
This King West club’s aglow in pink and neon lighting. Hit the sunken dance floor and prepare to turn up to all your favourite hip hop and R&B tracks, trap and Afrobeats. Leave the dress shoes at home, streetwear reigns supreme.
