Arrived at the venue around 11(ish) to enjoy '"All good 90s Dance Party." Unfortunately, we waited in line for almost 1 hour. It genuinely felt like, “Well we were just going to go to the Roxbury, but we couldn’t get in.” Butabi Brothers - A Night at the Roxbury) A friend inside the venue indicated the venue was following capacity limits, but were certainly not full. My wife commented, "probably understaffed, and could not accommodate the growing crowd." Ultimately, we decided to go elsewhere.

The Wax Candy Disco, 60s Soul Party, and every third Saturday its 90s Dance Party, are the best in the city. I hope to return soon and contribute to the last authentic bar in Toronto.

The owner needs to hire DJ's that plays a more diverse mix and to be professional when replying to the (multiple) criticisms from reviews. Read some of the other reviews too and he replies in the exact...
Read moreMy friend and I attended the 90s video "dance party" here, and forgive me if I misunderstood, but a dance party should involve music that's at least a bit upbeat - instead their idea was to essentially charge you $10-15 (depending on whim at the door) to watch a '90s grunge, hip hop and rap Youtube playlist up on a projector while everyone sits down in their booths sipping alcohol. There was no energy or fun in the room. If I knew that was the case, I'd be scrolling through Youtube in the privacy of my own home. Pretty lame, and their "yawn" response below shows how unprofessional they are when it comes to...
