Great upstairs patio . Don't eat here though, drinks only. The live bands are awesome and bowling is fun.

Wendy

Don't get any of the poutines . The gravy tastes disgusting, and as Canadians, y'all know the gravy breaks or makes the poutine . P.S. WiFi password is "ballroom ".

Graham Rowlands

The veggie burger is delicious! I'm not a vegetarian but I'd eat that burger any day!

Care E

Impressive new bar that will please both gents & gals! Not prenticious (yet) and casual atmosphere . You're lucky if you get a chance to bowl (only 10 lanes) as they take no reservations , but the sp

Mariam

Friendly staff !! Nice environment but the food wasn't too good.. I had the pulled pork poutine and my friend had the brisket and they were both bad

Champion Canada

The Dude's heaven on earth. The Ballroom is not just a bowling alley . Eat, watch the game and don’t forget to ask about ping-pong.

Miguel Roberto Mangligot

Nice high end bowling place and pub in Toronto. Great for after work events

Raif Barbaros

if u want to bowl w/ kids, come sunday morning 11am. that's when they open. you'll have the place to yourself.

That girl ray

They have a new menu try the brisket flatbread

Matthew Kidd

Cheap flat bread meals and bar rail on Fridays. Fast service .

HanBi K

Great atmosphere on 2nd floor. But the bartender threw money at me...... That wasnt pleasing at all!

AskMen

great is the impending opening of the Ballroom, one of few bars where the slogan "we got balls" actually entices you to go. Read more

aEsther Baruti

Go with a lot of friends to bowl with. It make it much more fun

Nadz K

My pulled pork poutine tasted like tin corn beef , not cool. We didn't get to bowl bc of being told the wrong info from multiple staff . The Manager was *rolls eyes* whatevs... their fries are good tho

Jackie Krovblit

The burger I had last night was outstanding! Massive onion rings , yum! Can't wait to try the bowling !

Dana W

What a great new venue for Toronto, $75 for an hour of bowling which is expensive but worth while to do something different in downtown Toronto

Nikko Lopena

Lot of things to do. Great for groups .

...retro bowling paraphernalia, inappropriate dancing , nearly naked club girls and C-list star spotting http://goo.gl/VTlnm

The nachos were freshly baked and amazing!!

Alex Saldanha

Awesome bowling spot right downtown, try the Mini burgers and pizza , super delicious!!

Paul McComb

I agree with Wendy. Wish I had seen the top before ordering the Popcorn Chicken Poutine . It was kinda gross.

Tara R

Cool place but don't bother coming here for lunch . Took our group over 2 hours to get our food (half ordered salads or burgers ). We got a quick apology from the manager before he disappeared.

Len Mancini

CRANK is one of the great bands that plays here.......they rock!

Abeer Al-Mokbel

Bowling !! Food is ok but slow service in dinning area.! Drink service is good in bowling area!

Sam Singh

The wait times for a bowling lane can be long as this place is usually busy but it's great for groups .

John Comar

The worst food I've had in a long time. Nice place for drinks, but the "food" is inedible. Soggy chicken wings , curdled mac and cheese , mushy poutine , salt-lick bacon , and 7-11 hot dogs .

Senator Feldman

Free wifi - ballroom password

Michael Balders

It's all about the wings! Delicious!

Doug Nameth

$5 selected pints between 4-7pm, Monday to Friday

Nigel Brookes

Bowling and atmosphere

ILYA SPEC

Outdated. Uneven surface on the bowling floor.

jeremy wright

If there's a guy bowling solo with headphones onits probably me. Stop by and say hi :-)

Ruth Hurst

How about more than one bartender on the first floor bar...or giving the correct change...douchebag ...

Ces Ah

the serving staff are a bit useless & the bowling wait times are not accurate. the menu is great.

Mike Wiles

Cheap pints, ask your sever for beer deals.

Brian Rosevear

The fried pickles are great!

Petula Neale

Ok for drinks after work but food service is quite slow so not a good option for a meal if you are heading to a movie .

Anton Nguyen

Avoid the burger ! 8 of my buddies got it, and every single one was burnt.

Chris Pavlovski

Only 2 stalls on the lower level (always a line ), go upstairs to avoid a 20 min wait.

Mark D

Don't order the fried chicken when they're busy. It will come out undercooked.

David P

You can bowl here!

Sabah Haddara

Ridiculously overpriced for no reason, and 3/5 in our group did not enjoy their food.

R P

Nice place, but rude waiters ...

Donovan Bond

Wouldn't bother eating or drinking here again. Drinks are heavy on ice, light on drink.

Reidun Squires

21 dollars for a pitcher of domestic... Rip off, right there.
