With my 30th birthday approaching and not wanting to go with the obligatory nightclub scene to ring in a new decade, I was looking for a bar that had a little something extra to make the night special. I came across Nightowl Toronto and found that they had a live band on Saturday nights as well as arcade games and a foosball table. Pretty much exactly what I was looking for.
I booked a reservation via their Facebook page and they were very responsive and helpful with my request. On the night of, I didn't realize I had booked a "standing reservation" so we didn't actually have a table reserved for our group. The guy who had helped me book the reso was there that night and was apologetic for the confusion. He ended up getting us free coat check for the inconvenience, which completely solved the problem of not having a table to leave our coats at anyway. Perfect! My birthday guests were more than happy with the compromise and so was I.
The band - The Moonwalks - were AMAZING! They played indie rock, EDM, 70's classic rock, and everything in between. I danced most of the night away without even noticing the time. The bar was busy but not wall to wall. We had lots of space to dance and roam around and we had an easy time getting drinks when we wanted them. Some friends were downstairs on the dancefloor and others were upstairs playing games most of the night. Everyone had a great time!
All in all, I loved this place! I had a very memorable 30th birthday and would recommend this place to anyone wanting to have a good night with friends.
Thanks Nightowl!!
