My all time favourite music venue in Toronto.
I love the decor, it's really fitting and the music is always very good (though I do pick who I go see -- so I usually know it's going be to good.)
The beer is great and the atmosphere is fantastic! I've had many great memories. I don't think I've ever come here and not had a good time. One time there was even square dancing! I also like how it's not full of women wearing practically nothing and men gawking at these women. Everyone is dressed (usually) modestly and not worried about making a fool of themselves out on the dance floor!
If you're looking for a grand ol' time, The Dakota is the spot for you.
