Venue intelligence
Know before you go

Best night
Happy Hour runs right from opening at 9:00 PM until 10:30 PM on Fridays and Saturdays for early cocktail deals. For a full-velocity party atmosphere, slide in around 10:00 PM on Fridays to catch their notorious, long-running XXX Friday drag spectacles hosted by Canada's Drag Race icons.
Locals vs visitors
A thoroughly open, diverse, and multi-generational mosaic. You will dance alongside old-school local neighborhood regulars who remember the club's 1980 inception, curious global tourists, energetic student ravers, and allies.
Dress code in practice
Unapologetically casual, trendy, and expressive. Throw on whatever makes you feel spectacular—ranging from standard neighborhood denim and comfortable graphic tees to full-glam drag or alternative party gear
Staff inclusion
Proudly rated as a dedicated, welcoming transgender safe space. The venue operates with a strict, fiercely enforced zero-tolerance policy against violence, homophobia, and hate.
