Despite having a rather staid reputation that paints a picture of a city that is more puritan than fun loving, Toronto is still a great place for an evening out enjoying the sights and sounds of city life. Thanks to a large city center, there are plenty of Toronto bars and clubs to choose from, and whether you are looking for an opportunity to let your hair down and party, or just want to enjoy a couple of quiet drinks with some friends after dinner, you will have no problems in finding somewhere to go out and spend your night in the city.

The water front area of Toronto is the home to many of the most popular bars and clubs in the city, and this has been developed extensively in recent years. As with many cities, this former industrial area has now become a major entertainment district, and there are numerous trendy bars where the local stars hang out in the evenings. While these bars do not generally impose a dress code on their customers, it is a good idea to dress fashionably so that you do not feel out of place in any way, which might otherwise spoil your evening.

Aside from the fashionable cocktail bars in the heart of the city, there are also a number of smaller live music venues and comedy clubs that offer some entertainment. Unless it is a particularly popular act that is performing on the evening you want to go, you will not normally need to get a ticket in advance of going. Thanks to the choice of different clubs available in Toronto, you will find that you can find almost any kind of music, from hard rock through to disco, and plenty of different comedy acts to choose from.

Unlike some cities, Toronto is not a heavy drinking place. The bars are friendly and laid back, and there is rarely trouble – even in the rowdier bars around the university. This is of course, not indicative of a lack of atmosphere. You will find that all of the bars in Toronto have their own character, and with the friendly locals on hand to chat and party with, you should have no trouble in having a great night.
