  • This place is hidden in an alleyway - the one that goes between Wellington St West and King St West so don't be surprised by my marker placement on the map. This places used to be called Hyde Lounge (judging by my internet research). I took part of Marie F.'s review of Hyde Lounge because it seems certain aspects haven't changed since she reviewed it here - http://www.yelp.ca/biz/hyde-lounge-toronto. Went there opening night because I was invited by a website. They told me it was a 'private "Friends & Family" opening and that the site was bringing 50 guests as the owner was also bringing his own personal VIPs at the event. It is being built up as the go-to Thursday night spot this summer in Toronto. Got there about 11:30 and they had 'hit capacity' at this "Friends & Family Event" and kept me waiting outside for about 30 minutes. It is the same club scene as everywhere else. It looks like it could be a good time if you are willing to seriously open your wallet and/or you go with a bunch of friends but that wasn't the experience I had. I honestly didn't see anything there that would distinguish it from any other club I have ever been to...even the fact that it's in an alleyway wasn't unique (there are plenty of those in Toronto too). When I was finally let in to the club I found that most of my friends had already had enough and were on their way out. (They too had waited 20 minutes in line at the door.) It's a pretty dressy place, after the guy in front of me in the 'guest list line' (there were 2 lines for this 'private event', guest list and bottle service) had waited for longer than 20 minutes to get in the bouncer decides to mention that his shoes weren't dressy enough for the club but the bouncer was going to be nice and let him in anyway. Really? You spent 20+ minutes standing next to the guy and THAT was the moment you chose to tell him that? That attitude of the front line staff on a night when it is invite only speaks volumes in my mind. I was there for about 20-30 minutes and then I left as well. I didn't even go to the bar for a drink because I ran into a friend who poured me a drink out of their bottle so I don't know what they charge. They do have a bathroom soap & towel attendant. Like Marie I say to please note that from what I saw there's no ATM or coat-check at this club. The bathrooms are in a basement down a narrow stairway. Maybe once it opens to the public it will be a different experience but I don't know that this place is actually going to be THE Thursday night spot this summer. In my mind the place had nothing that would distinguish it from any other club/lounge in King West and the vibe I got from the front line staff was...crap.
