Ultraviolet is Queen West's dark hip-hop room, the one with the UV lights and a real club energy you don't get on this strip. Rap, R&B and trap till 3am, an upscale 19+ crowd dressed clean, and a floor that pops off late. Here's the honest rundown, plus the free guestlist.
The sceneWhat it's actually like
Ultraviolet brings an authentic clubbing experience to Queen West, a strip that's mostly bars and restolounges. This is a proper nightclub: dark room, flashy UV lights, a main bar, a big dancefloor right in front of the DJ booth, and booths wrapped around it. Up the stairs to the second floor and you're straight into it.
It runs later than most. Where other spots peak early, Ultraviolet builds, then really goes off closer to 1am, especially in the winter. It pulls a bigger crowd than most Queen West rooms too, so you don't roll up to a dead night. If your thing is hip-hop with a put-together crowd and a real club feel, this is the one on Queen West.

Ultraviolet Toronto: the full review
Address & location
Ultraviolet sits in West Queen West at 1096 Queen St W (M6J 1H9), on the second floor of the same building as The Good Son restaurant. Right on the Queen West stretch, easy to reach.
The room
Holds about 250-350, so it pulls a real crowd without feeling cavernous. Dark club vibe with flashy UV lights, a main bar, a large dancefloor in front of the DJ booth, and booths wrapped around it. The vibe runs close to 44 Toronto: low light, big sound, club energy.
Who's there
Mostly upscale young professionals, early-20s to mid-30s, dressed clean to semi-formal. The room leans 21-29 on most nights. Want current music and a Queen West spot that's actually full? Ultraviolet delivers when a lot of the strip doesn't.
What's great
- Real club, not a bar. Dark room, UV lights, proper dancefloor. That's rare on Queen West, where it's mostly restolounges.
- It's actually busy. Pulls a bigger crowd than most rooms on this strip, so you're not stuck on a dead night.
- The music goes. Hip-hop, rap, R&B and trap all night, vocal floor, everybody rapping along.
What to know going in
- It runs late. Don't roll up at 10 expecting it packed. It really pops closer to 1am, especially in winter.
- Booths are the move. The real value here is a booth and bottle service, more than fighting for floor space.
Move like you know
- Use the guestlist for $15 cover before 11:30pm, then settle in for the late peak.
- Want a guaranteed spot and your own service? Book a booth ahead instead of working the floor.
- Birthday? They run birthday specials, so let the door or your host know.
The music
Ultraviolet is a hip-hop room first. The DJs run rap, R&B and trap all night, with the kind of vocal, hands-up energy the UV-lit floor is built for. Every night plays a little different, but the sound stays in the pocket.
What to wear
Dress code leans clean to semi-formal. Come looking like you put in effort. Skip the sportswear and beat-up sneakers, and dress for a real club, not a Queen West dive bar. The crowd here dresses up, so match it.
Cover & how to skip the line
Cover runs about $20, or $15 with the guestlist before 11:30pm, so getting on the list and arriving early saves you. At the door you check in under your name and you're in. Since the room peaks late, you can roll up earlier for the cheaper cover and ride it into the busy stretch.
Age limit
19+. Ontario drinking age, so bring real ID. Keeps the room grown and everybody on the same page.
Booths & bottle service
This is where Ultraviolet pays off. Booths surround the dancefloor, so a table means a guaranteed seat, your own service, and the best view of the room. We rate bottle service as the real value here, especially for a birthday or a bigger group. Drop your date and headcount in the form and we'll line up the right table and minimum for the night.
