ess likely to have to wait in line at these venues, however if they become too packed inside, you may also become claustrophobic.

Dance clubs usually have multiple rooms with a main room and a VIP area. You will find comfortable seating such as lounge chairs and couches.

Raves are harder to find and held in bass filled warehouses. You will find very little seating or none at all and you are more likely to find juice and soda at the bar. That’s right…no alcohol, you can imagine the rest. If you get in anyone’s way, be careful not to get side swiped by a blow pop. These venues are typically all ages and filled with people who are there to get their dance on and can’t stop dancing…amongst other things. Indulging in many stimulants and not wanting to go home is usually the attitude here.

Living in Toronto is not easy and can be very stressful at times. So after five hard days of working it’s only normal that we go out and relieve this unwanted stress that we have accumulated. This can be done perhaps by indulging in some hedonistic pleasures of the Toronto night clubs. No guilty consciences allowed; to relieve yourself you must take part in the indulgence. That’s right, the music must be pumping, the booze must be abundant and beautiful people must pack the dance floor.

You might be telling yourself at this point that it’s a lot easier to fantasize than it is to actually pull through. This is where I come in. If you are a newbie in Toronto or simply do not make it out to Toronto night clubs very often just thinking about planning such an extravagant expedition might bring on a serious headache. No worries put your fears far away on the top shelf and read on. My goal is to lead you into a night that will make you forget your problems, ease the pain and make you dance on the bar top. Trust me; people will be lining up to buy you drinks.

Fell the Flow Before Dipping Low:

Before you can even begin to contemplate where to go, you must know what your options are. Remember that Toronto night clubs are strict about shutting down the booze at 2am. That leaves you with limited time to get your game on, and the last thing you want to do is travel from one club to the next looking for the right flow.

To find the right Toronto night club, you need to do your research and become familiar with the neighbourhoods and their offerings. (please see ‘Neighbourhoods at a Glance” in the Toronto Apartment Rental blog) You will find that the atmosphere in clubs will reflect the neighbourhood in which they are located. So begin by deciding what atmosphere you are looking for.

Of course this guideline remains basic. It’s obvious that there’s no ‘trance’ or ‘house’ neighbourhood. But we all know that there is a central area where the night life is stronger than other. In Toronto these areas could be represented but not limited to the entertainment and club districts.

Check out free weekly papers like ‘NOW Magazine’ or ‘EYE Weekly’ surveying the metropolitan area for more potential sources. These papers will list many of the Toronto night clubs and what they have to offer on each night. A lot of them will even give you their address, phone number and a brief review. Websites like MojaCity.com are also a good source. They will discuss important issues such as cover charge, possible nightly specials and special events. The obvious spots may be a good place to start but remember that most likely it will not become your regular hang out. The time you put in conducting your investigation will reward you with a more fulfilling night.

Don’t just settle, pick what you are looking for:

Don’t set yourself up for disappointment. Remember that no amount of research can guarantee that you end up in the Toronto night club of your dreams. However, a good thing to consider when making the decision of where you want to spend your night is to decide on what type of music or entertainment you are seeking.

It is also smart to know how much money you want to spend before making your decision. Remember that if a club charges a high cover, it is more than likely that drinks are also going to be costly. By the time you are done paying for taxi fares, parking meters, coat check, the night might end up drilling a hole right through your pockets.

Smaller Toronto night clubs are usually more casual and plain. You are less likely to have to wait in line at these venues, however if they become too packed inside, you may also become claustrophobic.

The Big Step: Getting In:

You should all know that the more popular the club is the more selective the entry process is going to be. If you opted for a low key, more quiet Toronto night club, this should not be an issue to worry about. Don’t wait in line for too long. Keep in mind that Toronto night club owner all share the feeling that the more people there are in line outside of the club, the more popular the club looks. For them you are like free advertisement. No matter what you pick, just remember that the two key factors to making it past the velvet rope are attitude and attire.

Of course in a perfect world, everyone would get along and we would all be in harmony and our attire wouldn’t be a deciding factor on whether or not we got into the club. Unfortunately when it comes to hitting these famous Toronto night clubs the rule is to ‘dress to impress’. Some clubs are more formal than others; however, remember that baseball caps and sneakers are a big ‘no no’ in the majority of them.

The best way to get into any club is to have your chauffeur drop you off right at the front door in your stretched Escalade. If that option extends further than your budget, or if the Escalade happens to be in the shop that weekend there are other ways to make your initial approach, so take a deep breath and read on. It’s important to portray the right attitude. You want to throw out the vibe that you actually belong there. Don’t push the limits though. It’s important to remain calm and respectful when it comes time to face the bouncers. Remember that they have the final word.

Unfortunately we have already established that it is not a fair world out there and yes men you are the underdogs. Most of the time women well be welcomed with arms wide open and need to make minimal effort to gain access to the hottest Toronto night clubs. If you are a female and looking fine, just make your way to the top of the line and make eye contact with the bouncers and let him know how many you are, the more females the better.

If you are a male, you still have a couple of options on your side. First off, if you are a large group of males, your chances of getting in are getting slimmer and would be greater if you had brought along some female friends. If you never had a female friend in your life, right about now would be a great time to get one. Find a group of girls and politely ask them if you may tag along with them and offer to buy them drinks once you crossed the ropes.

Another technique is what my friends and I like to call “greasing the bouncer”. Pull out your hard earned money and discreetly slip a nice 20 spot to the bouncer. However, if you are suave enough, you will not resort to that.

If worse comes to worse and none of these techniques work out, you and your homies should probably just go home or you could just stand in line. Just make sure to keep note on whether you are actually moving forward or not. If you find yourself standing in the same spot an hour later, do yourself a favor and go home or find another club.

Behave and Stay In:

You’ve made it past the ropes, inside the doors and through to the bar and you are gulping down your first Jaeger Bombs. Before you get obliterated though, there are a couple of golden rules you must remember, especially if you want to come back to that club.

It is really important to make yourself at home especially if you have ventured out on your own that night. The best thing to do is shoot straight for the first bar and get yourself a beverage and hang out for a few minutes at the bar. Try and chat with the fellow clubbers around you and get a good feel for the place. Familiarize yourself with the place and look for the people who look interesting to you. That way you can move in on a t
