Lisa • November 12, 2011The best basement dive in the city, amazing musicians play here regularly.

Alyssa M. • June 21, 2014Nice venue. Perfect size for a smaller, more intimate show.

HMV • August 27, 2011Historic Toronto venue. You must see a show here at least once. Great sound in a small venue.

Tom Z. • March 26, 2015sweet potato fries, a pint of the special and a laptop can make for a relaxing hour or two

Jeff V. • January 31, 2012Not a bad seat in the house, and pretty easy to move around regardless of purchased tickets.

Delina G. • March 11, 2015Very accomodating space. We went for a merengue party and it was beautiful and super well organized

Lisa • November 12, 2011Tiny little place, the decor here is artistic and awesome, total punk bar with kinda scary regulars, but it's the perfect size for new local bands to play.

Michael • January 29, 2018Dive bar vibes at a chill (usually rock) venue. Catch your favourite indie bands here

the BREL team • May 20, 2013The other awesome live music venue in the hood (but the Dakota can't fit as many people!) Great Mexican nosh and solid beers too

Mike L. • January 25, 2015Always great bands playing here!

Ryan • June 18, 2013It was an amazing experience and well ran and put together in front and behind the scene. PSY's "gentleman" performance was the show stopper! Amazing all around. Great work everyone and support.

ExPlaceTO • September 11, 2015Modeled after the Hollywood Bowl, the Bandshell was built in 1936 at a cost of $47,000. It is still known for it's acoustic excellence. Many great bands have graced the bandshell stage!

Marvin • August 24, 2015During the summer they host free movies! Great way to spend a summer day by the lake.

Anu J. • May 16, 2015Great shows and live performances all the time!
