Parlour is King West's R&B and hip-hop supper club: pizza and bottles early, a packed floor of throwbacks and new heat late, and a 21-35 crowd that came to look good and move. Here's the honest rundown, plus the free guest list so you skip the line.
The sceneWhat it's actually like
Parlour plays one of the best music mixes in any supper club in the city: 2000s, 2010s and modern hip-hop and R&B that keeps the floor moving all night. It's a touch more grown than the rest of King West, so the crowd skips both ends, not too young, not too stiff. Walk down the tunnel, find the yellow-lit sign, and step into a room with a pizza bar, two bars, mirrors floor to ceiling, and booths built for bottles.
It runs a little chill and a little energetic at once. Bottle tables get their own pocket of privacy, the dance floor stays busy without becoming a crush, and the DJ keeps everybody engaged. If you want R&B and hip-hop with an upscale, put-together crowd, this is the one.

Parlour Toronto: the full review
Address & location
Parlour sits on the north side of King West at 642 King St W (M5V 1M7), tucked behind the strip. Find the metal-walled tunnel across from the Starbucks, to the right of Lapinou, and walk all the way down toward the back lot. You'll see Parlour's line and a yellow-lit sign on the left.
The room
Capacity is about 350 to 400, so a good night feels full without being impossible to move through. Walk in and there's a pizza bar on the left, the main dance floor and primary bar straight ahead, and a second bar deeper in by a floor-to-ceiling mirror, with booths and high-tops in between. Bottle tables sit a step back from the floor for a bit of privacy.
Who's there
Mostly young professionals, roughly 21 to 35, dressed somewhere between sharp and relaxed. It runs a little more grown than the rest of King West, which is the whole point. Sophisticated crowd, good vibes, music to match.
What's great
- The music mix is elite. One of the best R&B and hip-hop blends in any supper club in the city, old and new.
- Tastefully upscale. The atmosphere, the architecture and the crowd all land grown without being stiff.
- Booths done right. Privacy off the floor with enough exposure to still feel part of the room.
What to know going in
- The line builds fast. By 11 it's going. Roll up by 11:15 or expect a 15 to 20 minute wait.
- It packs out. Great for energy, less so if you want elbow room on a busy Saturday.
Move like you know
- Arrive before 11:30 to keep the wait short. After that the line stretches.
- Want bottles? Book early in the week, tables sell out.
- Birthday or big group? A booth is the easy call. Drop your headcount in the form.
The music
Parlour spins an amazing mix of 2000s, 2010s and modern hip-hop and R&B. We wouldn't call it a straight hip-hop club, but the blend keeps the crowd engaged and dancing all night. Urban Top 40 rounds it out. It's the kind of soundtrack where everyone knows the words.
What to wear
The dress code isn't strict, but most guests land somewhere between dressy and casual. Look like you put in effort. No sportswear and no sports hats. Beyond that you've got room to do your thing.
Cover & how to skip the line
Cover is $20, and ladies are free before 11:30, so getting there early pays off. Note that cover still applies after midnight regardless of the guest list, so the move is to arrive by 11:15 before the line builds. At the door you tell them who you're under, check in, get stamped and head up to start your night.
Age limit
Strict 19+. Ontario drinking age, no exceptions, so bring real ID. This venue serves alcohol like any other club in the city.
Booths & bottle service
Want to do it right? Grab a booth. Guaranteed seat, your own service, no fighting for floor space. Bottle service runs $220 to $450 for mid-range bottles, with top-shelf upwards of $600. Booths usually carry a 2 to 3 bottle minimum, so expect $600 to $800 for a table. Drinks at the bar are $11 to $13, coat check about $5 in winter. Drop your date and headcount in the form and we'll line up the right table and minimum for the night.
