Buddies in Bad Times Theatre is Toronto's leading destination for alternative theatre and a world leader in developing queer voices for the stage. The world's oldest queer theatre company offers an experience like no other as it opens its doors every weekend for two nights of fun and dancing, with all proceeds going to support its theatre and youth programs. From cabaret and gogo dancers to live DJs, the theatre has a bit of everything.

Crews & Tangos provides a space for drag performers to grow and develop, with several major annual events throughout the year. Here you can always expect the most over the top drag performances and productions in Toronto, with a lively party atmosphere. There's a main stage performance every night, along with dedicated dancing and karaoke nights throughout the week. At this top party destination, everyone can be themselves and enjoy a brilliantly camp night.

The Drink offers a morning coffee service with freshly baked goods, as well as cocktails and local brews throughout the day, so it's the perfect space to grab a drink and watch the world go by. The Drink has a particular focus of ethical produce, so all their coffee is Fair Trade and all the ingredients for their baked good are locally and responsibly sourced, so you can enjoy your treats guilt free and support a great local business.

Since the Lodge opened as Toronto's newest bar opened its doors right in the heart of the gay village, it's been super popular as a great place to socialise and have fun. With friendly and efficient service, great value happy hours, and a selection of quality food and cocktails, this new destination has already been a hit with locals and tourists. The Lodge also hosts regular events, from comedy nights to drag performances.

Established fairly recently in 2013, Church Street Garage provides a warm and friendly atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. It's a family run business that caters to the whole community of the Gay Village, open daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The combination of variety in menu, range of great quality pub fare, and excellent service is what makes this a favourite in the Village. The decor and crowd contribute to the chill atmosphere here.

Flash is a private men's club with live entertainment nightly including always new and talented dancers. This is unsurprisingly one of the most popular venues in the Gay Village, as you can pay for membership for just one day and still enjoy everything it has to offer. There are three bars across the two floors of the club, and everywhere you look you can find an attractive selection of dancers who will even give personal performances.
