I have only been here for the Chronologic party so far, but their other theme nights sound very intriguing to me. I love that they have theme nights like '70-80s dance music, songs from the movies, and in particular Chronologic where they play music from 1890-present day.
I love the grungy atmosphere of the place with the old carpet and banquet style chairs. It made me feel like I stepped back in time, in a good way. There was lots of seating space if people wanted to chat. They also had a large dance floor with a small stage.
Cover was only $5! Can't beat that in Toronto. And coat check was $1. Drinks were really cheap as well.
The one crappy thing is that you have to get there so early. I generally don't go out until later in the evening, so having to line up before the bar even opens just to make sure I get in kind of sucks. There was literally a mob of people outside waiting to get in before the bar opened because it fills up so quickly.
I had a great time at The Boat and am really looking forward to checking it out again for Chronologic and some of the other parties as well.
