Some can go late, but most bars in Toronto wrap things up by 2 a.m. That said, a bunch of venues offer private hires that start earlier or end later than regular opening hours. Just chat with the venue manager through Tagvenue. Many places, like Aura or Crystal Thani, are cool with extended bookings as long as it works with their schedule (and the noise bylaw gods). Venues with day rates usually give you more time to set up, party, and clean up without rushing.
You can hire cocktail lounges, rooftop bars, Latin-style cantinas, karaoke lounges, brewery bars for groups, and themed event spaces across the city. If you want a place with the industrial vibe of a craft brewery, like Junction Craft Beverage Co., or the retro feel of a music venue like El Mocambo, there's a venue that suits your crowd and style. Many venues are multi-functional and suitable for anything from corporate mixers to milestone birthdays.
Many of these places can handle fun extras. Want karaoke? Try G-Funk KTV. Interested in golf simulators? Check out The Sand Traps. Some spots let you decorate or bring in DJs, quiz nights, or even escape room-style challenges, like Trapped Lounge in Queen West. Always check in advance, but you'll be surprised at how many venues are down to help you get creative.
If you want that prime Friday or Saturday night energy, book early β ideally 1β2 months out. Those peak times go fast, especially in spots like the Entertainment District or Kensington Market. Midweek bookings (think Tuesday or Wednesday) are way more flexible and cheaper, and some venues might even throw in extras to fill the space. If you want somewhere low-key or last-minute, Sundays are your secret weapon.
