The Best Clubs In Toronto
Our Ranking of the Top 10 Best Clubs in Toronto
Toronto’s Nightclub & Bar Scene
Toronto is a growing multicultural city, with a rapidly expanding population as well as becoming a major tourist hub. What’s really nice about Toronto is that the city has quickly started to develop a multitude of subcultures and respective hot spots. This means that no matter what walk of life you come from, or what your interests are, there are plenty of places to party for everyone. However, if you’re like us (20-30 something-year-olds), but you’re not a regular in the nightlife scene, the huge variety of nightlife spots can be overwhelming.
How many times has this happened to you: You go online, look up clubs in Toronto, find a generic club website where every club claims to be the best club in the city, with glamorous pictures of the venue and descriptions that seem too good to be true – and you end up going but… it’s either dead inside, it’s got a super weird crowd, or… even worse, the dreaded sausage fest!
Why Trust Top Toronto Clubs?
Top Toronto Clubs is here to help. Our extensive team of nightclub and bar curators like to party, meaning we’re out in Toronto every single weekend looking for the hottest spots to grab drinks, celebrate birthdays, and enjoy Toronto’s vibrant nightlife scene. Unlike other websites and services, or getting hounded by club promoters who are just trying to make a venue look alive, the team here prides themselves in being in the know about what’s hot, and what’s not.
Plus… you’re not limited to just a handful of venues to pick from. Top Toronto Clubs covers hundreds of Toronto’s best clubs, bars, and special events happening around the city all year round!

Gone are the days of relying on your friend’s opinions or taking a chance and spending a night (and your hard earned money) at a club just for you to find out its not your vibe, or because the crowd sucks and the music isn’t it.

44 Toronto Review
44 Toronto is located on King Street West, just east of Bathurst Street in the basement of the same building as Lavelle. 44 Toronto is one of the best all round clubs in the club district on King West because it has a mix of everything that most people are looking for in a club. There is a really great mix of EDM, Hip-Hop and Trap on both Fridays and Saturdays, and the club caters both to those who want to ball out and spend big on a booth and bottles, as well as those who just want to party and dance the night away.
What is unique about 44 is that it’s exclusive, yet has a true mix of both big spenders and casual club goers, all who are looking for an energetic club experience with a dark setting, flashy lights, good music, and good vibes. To top it all of 44 has a truly amazing sound system behind it bumping everyone’s favourite club jams, keeping the crowd dancing all night.
It should be noted that to secure a booth and bottle, club-goers will pay a premium compared to other venues on King or Queen west, but that shouldn’t discourage you from hosting your birthday or event here. Getting a booth and bottles at 44 is something anyone should try at least once in their lifetime. However, if you’re looking to just get in via guestlist we highly suggest coming earlier than 10:00pm – 10:30pm on summer nights so you’re not stuck in line because this venue fills up quick!

Door 3 Toronto Review
Second on our list is the iconic Door 3, also known as Door Three. This small to medium sized club venue is a staple of King Street West with it’s intimate layout of booths surrounding the large bar that lines the wall of the side of the club. Door 3 is one of our favourites for a lot of reasons, most notably is it’s reasonably priced booth and bottles, and it’s unique atmosphere which is a mix of it’s lighting, great music, and a fun crowd. This venue feels both exclusive but at the same time has a crowd that knows how to turn up and has a good ratio of girls to guys.
Not only that, but Door 3 has recently undergone new renovations that really make this venue shine on another level, without stripping it of what it used to look like. Before or after COVID, this venue has a special place in our hearts. Very professional staff and owners, a consistent vibe all contribute to a good experience no matter what night you decide to party at Door 3. Because booths and bottles are fairly priced, this is one spot we highly recommend getting booths and bottle service at if you’re having a birthday party or just trying to enjoy a special night out with a group of friends, because the booths are exclusive, but don’t leave you secluded from the rest of the venue like some clubs booths do.

Toybox Toronto Review
Toybox is a relatively new club on King St. West, as it first opened its doors early in 2019. Previously this location was Uniun nightclub, so if you are familiar with the layout of that club, not much has changed in that department. However, once in the venue you’ll notice it’s a completely different vibe. Toybox is a top 40 / pop hip-hop club (whereas Uniun was previously EDM centric), the music targets college and university students who want a night out with their favourite pop hip-hop songs, and top 40 anthems. The décor of the club is black and red tones which provide a dark sultry feel but a fun vibe.
Toybox is most prominently known for its mascot which is a small beige bear that parades around the club and proceeds to dance and pretend to drink from bottles. As gimmicky as it sounds it works and it’s the only club in Toronto that has a mascot like this. Toybox is known amongst the younger crowd for being a central hot spot and is generally quite busy on most nights.
Here is our list of the best night clubs in Toronto for 2020, where we tried to rank them in order in where we would go from 10-1, but also tried to include a balance of those that have mass appeal but maintaining some of our favorite exclusive spots.

Bodega On King Review
Positioned on the King West, Toronto’s district renowned for nightlife and entertainment resides a club like no other: Bodega on King. This unique spot has quickly become the go-to destination for trap music enthusiasts and those eager to dive into the gritty and pulsing world of trap culture, but also plays a mix of throwbacks and top 40 as this is now considered one of King West’s more premium venues.
Bodega on King embodies the very essence of trap and rap music, a genre known for its aggressive beats, heavy use of bass, and sound that merges hip-hop with trap, afro, dancehall and soca music. It’s a place where the music is loud, the crowd is energetic, and the atmosphere is just right.
Stepping into Bodega Toronto, the dynamic lighting and flashy interior set the stage for a night filled with intensity and excitement. The decor is urban chic, with neon signage and art adorning the walls, sleek furniture, and a state of the art lighting system that gives this venue it’s high level of polish.
The club’s sound system delivers beats that reverberate through every corner of the space. The DJ lineup features both local and international talents, spinning the best of trap, from chart-toppers to underground gems. The dance floor, bathed in ever-changing lights, provides the perfect playground for those unafraid to move to the rhythm of the trap and top 40 hits all night long.

Lavelle Toronto Review
The infamous Lavelle Rooftop Lounge. To say that Lavelle has redefined the expectations of Toronto’s nightlife would be an understatement. This astounding venue has set the bar for what club-goers expect when it comes to an upscale vibe, atmosphere, décor, and music. Once this beautiful spot opened its doors as primarily a hip-hop lounge/club, we saw many other spots trying to keep up with its swanky image and posh décor. If you haven’t already noticed the white Lavelle sign in every girl from Toronto’s Instagram (similar to the Cabana’s “On-the-lake skyline shot”), then take our word for it that this a staple spot in Toronto’s nightlife scene that everyone and their friends are talking about.
There’s just something about neon-lit pools in a vast spread-out venue, on a rooftop with a view of Toronto’s core that is undeniably breathtaking. Combining these core elements with Lavelle’s new appeal to the younger crowd and change in its lounge music to Trap and Hip-Hop on Friday and Saturday nights, the venue is generally very busy every weekend. In the summer, expect the club to reach capacity by 11:30 PM, in the colder months this might happen closer to 12:40-1:00 AM. Lavelle has earned its spot on this list, and will likely keep it for some time until another venue can achieve this holistic balance of décor, vibe, music, and crowd.
More recently, Lavelle’s booth & bottles have become better priced to accommodate a wider range of patrons, and with cabanas available in the summer, it’s a pretty good spot to host a birthday celebration for you and your friends.

The Drake Hotel Review
At number 8, we have the good old Drake Hotel. The Drake Hotel has been a staple on Queen West for years. The club has three levels, so there’s a vibe and scene for everyone, at almost any age. Upstairs is a rooftop and bar, that’s more laid back for casual conversations. The main floor is a dancefloor and bar that’s usually always busy and more so party-centric. Finally, the downstairs area is labeled “The Drake Underground” which usually plays eclectic hip-hop bangers with the occasional trap providing a more ‘ratchet’ feel, although some nights may be themed events like Y2K parties, where you can expect to hear a mix of 90’s hip-hop and other 90’s hits mixed in like the Venga boys.
The Drake Hotel leans towards an older crowd, usually 24+, but you’ll still find a decent mix of youth amongst these seasoned nightlife goers. The Drake Hotel is probably our favorite laid back club when you’re not in the mood for anything too crazy, and you’re indulging in the hipster vibes of Queen West. You can’t go wrong with a nice craft beer at the Drake with some friends. It also helps that there are no booths or bottle service in this club, which is why this club maintains its easy-going, laid back vibe. There’s nothing to prove at the Drake, and the Drake isn’t trying to prove anything to anyone. Now you know why it’s a cornerstone of Queen St. West’s nightlife venues.

Lost and Found Toronto Review
As one of the “most exclusive clubs in Toronto” unfortunately Lost & Found ranks at number 7 on the list. Lost and Found nightclub does have a lot to offer in terms of a unique crowd and non-mainstream hip-hop bangers however the high barrier to entry is what the biggest gripe is. If you are a group of solely females, this won’t be a problem for you. However, if you are in a mixed group, or a group solely consisting of guys, be prepared to get bottle service or be turned away. Our advice for you is to make backup plans if you aren’t ready to get bottle service, as guestlist may not be a sure bet for a mixed group. Something to keep in mind if you do get in is that Lost & Found, is a smaller underground venue with its dimly lit vibe, so it can reach capacity quickly and become shoulder-to-shoulder crowded.
Lost & Found does consistently draw a large crowd every Friday and Saturday night, as well as the infamous Lost & Found Mondays, nights on which celebrities may occasionally stop by (best example is the Weeknd’s reference lyric “I f*ck a bitch from Lost and Found like every Monday”). The music is undeniably fire, since Lost and Found plays the hottest hip-hop anthems and a range of underground and top 40 trap. Lost and Found holds its own on our top 10 list of Toronto nightlife.

Rebel Toronto Review
Where would a list of the best clubs in Toronto be without Rebel? Rebel nightclub is Toronto’s take on a massive Vegas multi-room nightclub and is by far the biggest club in Toronto. This enormous venue holds up to 4,000 people so expect a vast venue that appeals to the masses. The club consists of 4 different rooms/sections. The main room plays Top – 40 / EDM mixes / Hip-Hop mixes, while the purple room plays pure R&B and Hip-Hop, the Noir Room located upstairs plays EDM, Tech & Trance, and finally the Savage room plays Top Latin / Reggaeton bangers.
As you’ve probably noticed reading through this guide, most venues in Toronto are smaller niche type environments, with each club appealing to a certain demographic, crowd and musical taste, however, Rebel is the exact opposite and aims to target everyone. While some do not like the mass appeal, some love that the club has a change of environment just a walk away and is packed with so many people you’ll never see the same face twice in one night. Rebel nightclub is definitely a spot to visit at least once in Toronto if you’ve never been because it’s unlike anything else in the city. If you’re looking for the biggest venue with the most people, and some crazy vegas-style pyrotechnics and LED lighting, this is the venue for you, just keep in mind the crowd will be very mixed.

Nestled in the heart of Queen Street West, Toronto’s lively and eclectic neighborhood, Ultraviolet Toronto emerges as a beacon for those drawn to the darker shades of hip-hop and rap.
