This place is like a cave . But caveman like rock beat. It stinks like old beer and sweat. But the sound system is good. Go here.

Paul Bergsma

Awesome venue! It's small, intimate and loud !! Great staff slugging out beers and every time I've gone had a blast watching some rock and roll baby!!

Sony Music Canada

Dance Cave : cheap drinks , good music (think FTP), huge dancefloor, and even a foosball table ! If you're a student, flash your valid student ID and get in for free! Great place to dance your socks off. Read more

Ines Obtinalla

Sweet little music venue . You'll have no problems getting a clear view anywhere. See your fav bands here before they make it to the ACCs and Molson Ampitheatres of the world.

Michael

Dive bar vibes at a chill (usually rock) venue. Catch your favourite indie bands here

Dan Brown

If you're stumbling in or out, get the burritos made inside. Also take time to admire the amazing artscape painted on the building.

Used to be one of my favourite venues , until security turned me away for having a point and shoot(!) camera with me. Looks like Sound Academy's camera nazis work here too.

Diego La Manno

Good place to listen music live and also the top floor is a really good dance floor ... Really cool place

Kristina Gringogidget

This is one of my favourite venues in Toronto (also yours if you like climbing 20 flights of stairs to take a piss).

Steve Johnston

Great live venue and dripping with authenticity .

Chris Zacchia

Some great shows here! Tonight @thevalleys (Mtl) and @savages (uk) both really sick acts! (Playing Canadian music week) #cmw #music

Lisa

Lee's is great for shows, many of the best international bands play this venue. The upstairs (Dance Cave ) is to be avoided if you are over 19 years old.

Danielle Pal

Dance cave : come in after midnight; if you're a student, bring your ID card to get in for free! Otherwise cover is $7

Cheryl Duggan

Is it always slower than snails to get in the door if there is a line up? Oh well Amanda Palmer was worth it.

NXNE

Catch Jim Cuddy, Hawksley Workman, Justin Rutledge, Oh Susanna, Japandroids, Wavves, Cold Cave , Avi Buffalo and many many more bands during the NXNE fest. Lee's Lineup is stellar 06/17/10-/06/20/10

Great place to see bands play. Bad place to use a washroom.

Norman McGlashan

Try and grab a spot at the first or second rail. You see everything over the pit.

Emilio

Very cool sort of underground place for private shows👍

Go to The Dance Cave , order a drink, and dance the night away! Perfect for a night of fun with a group of friends. However, be sure to watch out for those under-agers! Read more

Moira Fogarty

Wear layers; the heat in the bar is tropical, you will be wishing for a tank top and shorts in January

Do pre-drinks at the Labyrinth and walk to Dance cave at 12 during the weekends!

Adam Findley

Such a fun small-ish venue.

Dance cave would be a great dive bar if not for the staff . There are many much better places to enjoy a drink, no need to waste your time here.

Chris Stewart

Great small club be nice to security
