it was my first time in toronto and was visiting a bunch of friends who lived here. came with a group of 7 girls for someone's birthday party, and urgh WORST bouncer experience ever! and i live in manhattan and bouncers there are pretty ridiculous
Toby's bouncer refused to accept my US driver's license, even though I had multiple back up IDs with my name and everything (and I am legal to drink in the US and therefore obviously Canada). He said for foreigners he'd only accept passports. Since we were here for a party, we couldn't just go elsewhere so I had to take taxi back to my friend's place to get my passport. The bar seemed fine but that just killed my mood for the rest of the night
ironically, we had two underage girls with us using other people's ids, including a British girl who was using a canadian id that looked nothing like her and obviously spoke with a foreign accent... both got in no problem. haaaaaaa redic. lesson learned... lying is always better
