Nightowl Toronto

Dance the night away

Astoria from Toronto

""Nightowl" has become one of my favorite nightclubs in Toronto. The walls are spectacular by themselves. A perfect place for a night out with friends..."

Over my many years of living in downtown Toronto - I have spent a good amount of that time on dance floors - and I'd have to say Nightowl has become one of my favourite. It's always a good idea to get here before 11pm because after that you will no doubt be greeted with a line - not so fun in our cold Canadian winters. In the summer however, sometimes a game of giant Jenga is brought out to keep spirits up. Upon entering, there is an upstairs bar as well as a selection of arcade games. Heading down the stairs to the basement is where you'll find the bathrooms - with floral wallpaper perfect for selfies. Downstairs is also where you'll find the second bar, and most importantly, the stage and dance floor.

The stage is frequented by some amazing cover bands like Wing Night: The Band, who preform (and slay!) R&B and hip-hop hits, and The Lonely Hearts who always get the crowd dancing with their rock n' roll covers.

The walls of Nightowl are something spectacular in themselves, painted with murals that showcase iconic Canadian musicians, done by the talented Amanda Maccagnan and Vera Malitskaya.

This is a perfect place for a night out with friends - the crowd is on average ages 20 - 35 and has a casual vibe. Drinks are on the affordable side, offering mixed drinks, a variety of beer, cocktails and their signature ice cream floats - which I've never had, but they look incredible.

And while I love how Toronto changes with every day, I've always had a deep interest in what it used to be: what neighborhoods used to look like, buildings of historical significance, and how glimpses of the past can be seen in the smallest parts of the city. I have lived in many parts of Toronto while growing up, and lived in a handful of different neighbourhoods over the course of completing my undergrad and mas...

Allan Gardens Conservatory

Ready for some green?

"Allan Gardens Conservatory", strangely advertised as a major Toronto landmark, remains a well-kept secret. Have a picnic in 100s of flowers and old trees!
