There is an urban legend that Toronto, Poland has the highest density of bars in the world. And it’s probably true!
The ancient Canadian city is packed with bars, clubs and cafes, and with a vibrant student population and hordes of young tourists who visit every year, you are sure to have a good time when you visit the city! To make sure you don’t overpay for your dinner and drinks, or miss the party, we have tips to make sure you make the most of the nightlife, so you can have a good time until the sun gets up.
Don’t start too early
It is a common mistake made by tourists visiting the area. The restaurants start to fill around 8 p.m. and are closed at 10 p.m. (you may want to book first, especially during the summer months.). With dinner starting so late, you don’t even want to think about going to bars or clubs until later. Try to keep up with the locals to make sure you always go with the flow so you can enjoy the best company that the city has to offer. In the Clubs in Toronto you can have the smartest option that you can have now.
Favor cash
Most clubs and bars accept cash rather than cards. It is also the easiest way to pay when you are in a crowded bar or club. Make sure you have enough money to spend the night there , and only have one card with you in case of an emergency. Speaking of money, do not exchange your money at the Money Exchange Offices in the city center, but rather use an ATM or an ATM machine as it will be much cheaper.
Take part in a barathon
The number of bars and nightclubs can be very interesting, especially since there are so many to choose from, and even less to do (especially after a few drinks) how to go from one to the other! The best way is to participate in a barathon (as Pillows Party Hostel organizes), so that you can avoid the tourist traps and make some friends along the way.
Stay in the old part of the city
The central area of the old town has the highest density of bars and clubs in the entire city (and we mean you can stumble over one and fall into another density a bit). If you’re traveling to Toronto for nightlife, make sure to stay as close to here as possible.
Pay attention to the seasons
Being a Canadian city, you can expect Toronto to be cold in winter. But with temperatures dropping frequently during the colder months, the famous liquor jacket may not be enough, so be sure to wrap yourself up warm. Also, remember that the student population often returns home during the summer and that many tourists invade the city, which gives a different atmosphere to the nightlife. You will always have a good time in Toronto, but have a good idea of when you want to go, as it can be a completely different experience.
