| - Flames Central is located in an old converted theatre and it shows. You walk through the main entrance and into the main area and it is majestic. High ceilings and balconies, a wide open space, a huge screen on the dance floor... A visit here is definitely an experience. It has a very classy and contemporary interior which is a bit at odds with the brightly lit, giant fluorescent sign outside.
On game nights, there are lineups out the door. But what I really go for are the shows. There's a lot of seating - it's a big place, and it's nice to have a place to sit down. But the ceilings open over the dance floor, and it gives it the feeling of a wide open space. The stage is big, and it is easy to see from any point in the big theatre. It is conveniently located about a block away from the C-train, so you don't even need to worry about parking.
It is a nice space to occupy. It can fit a lot of people, with the downside being that it takes a lot of people to fill it up (which is not always the case). It is also a bit on the pricey side. But overall, a visit here, whether for a DJ, a show or a game is well worth it.
