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. My rating is 5 stars, because I support local businesses and do not want to undervalue this magnificent venue. The venue is Awesome! Wonderful owners, talented DJs, affable crowd, affordable drinks, (some of my favorites actually). 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.

-- I just hope management has the time to read this and are able to accommodate us next time. Or, or, listen to me for a second. "Make the inside look like the outside and the outside look like the inside." (Butabi Brothers - A Night at the Roxbury) Until next time, keep my draught chilled, will be seeing you real...

A lot of white af music was put on when we were expecting good 90's songs to be played at this '90s Video Music Dance Party', also hip hop was literally the biggest genre in the 90s, yet they only played a select few hip hop tracksđŸ„±. They also had us stand in line for over 45min despite all the people leaving the bar/dance floor. Vibe of the bar was nice enough but then they charged me $6 for a basic $1.50 ginger beer bottle after I asked for a non alcoholic beverage🙃😒. 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...

My 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...

The piston is an amazing place. The cocktails were great, the staff was friendly and welcoming, and the engineer (@Andrei) we had running audio for our concert was simply fantastic - the sound quality of our show was better than I could have imagined. I highly recommend The Piston to anyone looking for a great venue

CHECK WEBSITE FOR THEME NIGHTS the management of this bar does a great job with theme nights!!! Check theIr website, you won't be sorry you did! The only downside is the size of the bar, which limits the size of the group you can get into the bar at any one time...

Fantastic atmosphere and sound. I don't drink alcohol, so I was incredibly happy to find a great selection of non-alcoholic cocktails. The staff is very friendly and professional. The Thursday Bodyclock techno night by Miss Kleio is a vibe.
