The Danforth Music Hall is a mid-size venue located in the heart of Toronto's Greek district at Danforth and Broadview.
I went to the Danforth recently to see Blood Orange and it was very easy to get to by subway. Coming from Finch, you go southbound to Bloor Yonge then transfer to an eastbound train and then get off at Broadview and it's right there.
They book great talent, with mostly somewhat mainstream bands like Capital Cities and Mac DeMarco.
I had no problem getting in, there was no massive line up and I was only carded (it was a 19+ show). Very efficient and friendly security staff.
There's a GA floor for most shows, otherwise there are Orchestra seats and Mezzanine and Balcony reserved seats. I sat in the Mezzanine seat and had a great view of the stage.
They don't have much selection in terms of drinks, only Moosehead (a beer I hate) and Twisted Tea, (Mike's Hard but with Iced Tea). They have bar service in the lobby and on both sides of the GA area.
The washrooms are in the front lobby area and are cleaned and well maintained.
I'm going to see more shows here and I really wish more bands would book here!
One of my favourite venues in Toronto!!
