The night in Toronto begins early at many of the Downtown’s watering holes — in the Old Town, Entertainment or Financial districts. Little Italy and Annex areas are also known for their late-night party spirit, and Toronto’s gay nightlife mostly centers around Church and Wellesley. Bars and pubs abound in these areas, and those looking to continue their night out in one of the city’s many dance floors must turn up at one of the Entertainment district’s clubs after 11pm.

The Village Genius Pub

A visit to this lively and warm pub will give you the opportunity to see your name inscribed on the "Idiot's Hall of Fame". This place is also known for having dozens of beers on tap, a great selection of imported bottles at very good prices, and serving German and Belgian pub grub.
