We usually attend just Bollywood parties here. To be specific I have visited this place thrice now. The club is pretty good overall in terms of the atmosphere, drinks, Dj, People holding capacity, etc.. but it just doesn’t have a nice ventilation. Towards the front(stage) its pretty suffocated and the basement( rest rooms) are overly heated. The corridors do not have ventilation and due to everyone smoking in the alley towards rest rooms, it becomes almost impossible to breathe. We low-key had to go all the way out of the club to catch up on the breath. The washrooms were not maintained. There was no staff, no tissue rolls, no hand dryers , no hand tissues/soap It was simply disgusting how they kept the rest rooms. Thankfully me and my friends always carry disinfectant, sanitizer and basic public rest room products to be safe. So my biggest advice would be to always be prepared when stepping out. It was a pretty great party by Bollywood social toronto but the Axis club needs to work a little on providing a safe and clean environment. I like the decors, lighting and Vip section. The VIP booth areas are segregated making it very easy for the booth members to enjoy a private show(“kind of”) , usually in Bollywood parties there is no difference as the crowd literally joins in with our booth (as far as i have experienced). To conclude, our Saturday Bollywood night was fun and that’s all we wanted so leaving a 5 star review. If the party by BST ( DJ EXO , DJ SSAMMAC) would not have been amazing then i would have definitely gone for a 2 star just because of how pathetic the rest room conditions were, no natter how amazing...
Read moreI came here to see fakemink perform and had a good time! The overall venue looks solid. I gotta say, long line. It did take a while for them to let everyone in which is typical for most small venues. The concert ticket stated a 7:30 start but we got in at 8:40-ish and the concert began at 9:05-ish. Despite that, all the employees seemed friendly enough and they looked to be working efficiently. I do wish the stage was slightly higher cause standing in the middle with taller dudes in front of me made it kinda hard to see the artist. The concert itself was solid, the crowd was full of energy moshing to every song. (It lowkey went overboard. An immature kid dressed as Batman was especially annoying 😂) I was slightly disappointed at the artists performance which lasted a little under an hour but I can't be certain the venue has anything to do with that. The audio of the concert was a bit distorted, DJ added too many gunshot sound effects scattered across each song, and it was a little too loud for my liking. The artist was yelling his lyrics over the loud scuffed audio as opposed to the more chill by comparison rapping/singing that I'm use to with his music. Though, maybe he just decided to do that style to get the crowd going? Idk. Basically, I couldn't hear his great melodies that well. Not sure if it was on him, the DJ, or the venue. I'll give the venue the benefit of the doubt here. Despite my nitpicks I had a good time. Concert was a 6.5/10. Venue overall seemed like a 3.5/5 for me. Would give it another go in the future despite the...
Read moreHonestly, the small and intimate venue is really nice and I loved the artist I went to see tonight but The Axis Club itself is very disorganized or understaffed. I had VIP tickets and the first person checking tickets and giving out wristbands stopped before they got to me and walked away. When another person came out to resume checking tickets and giving out wristbands, they walked past me and a few others arbitrarily and didn’t even ask if we had vip tickets but gave wristbands to people after us. When those people behind told them we also had vip tickets, they walked away and said they would be back but were not. Eventually as the line started moving into the club, out tickets were checked and wristbands given. A third person game out to hand out lapel buttons for the VIP ticket holders but also didn’t move along in sequential order, disappeared and I didn’t get any of the items promised with my ticket nor did many of the people around me. Then after the concert, the person in charge of the merchandise table gave me a torn/damaged hoodie which was still in the bag but the bag was slightly open but opened roughly enough to damage the hoodie (presumably to check for size). This unfortunately, I did not notice until I got home tonight as I assumed that if it’s in the bag, it wouldn’t be damaged and there’s no need for the bag/plastic to be pristine since it’ll be tossed out anyways. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience and I hope artists I follow do not choose this as their venue...
