Whether you are headed to Toronto for business or leisure, you will want to know about everything the city has to offer. Toronto’s Entertainment District is the best place to finish your day. Here are some of the things you should know about this vibrant part of Toronto.

Where is the Entertainment District?

The entertainment district of Toronto is incredibly easy to find. It is located in Old Toronto, around King Street West between University Avenue and Spadina Avenue. Its location between the fashion and financial districts makes it perfect for those who want to find good food or something fun and entertaining to do immediately after work or a day of sight-seeing.

In addition to its central location, it also has some great connections for public transport. Union Station, Canada’s largest railway station, is located right on the border of the entertainment district. There are also multiple subway, streetcar and bus stops throughout the entertainment district. Whether you are heading in or out, or are just moving around the area, you will find plenty of ways to do so.

Nightlife

One of the primary reasons to head to the entertainment district is for the amazing nightlife. No matter what you might be looking for, you will be able to find it here. Some of the best clubs in Toronto are to found in the entertainment district. Lavelle and SPiN Toronto are some of the best places to go for a fun night.

The nightlife is diverse and eclectic; you will find plenty of bars and themed venues with live music if you want something a little more chill. However, of you enjoy ‘playing the tables’ in a casino, unfortunately there aren’t land-based casinos to enjoy in Toronto yet. Do not fear though, WiFi is available; if you want some casino action, all you need is a live internet connection to be able to enjoy the best casinos in Canada online!

No matter what type of food you might be in the mood for, you should be able to find it on offer in the entertainment district! For some fantastic Chinese dishes, you should head to Lee. The chef and owner Susur Lee has made appearances on a few cooking shows, and his food is delicious.

If you want some of the best affordable food, make sure you check out some of the street food in the area. There are so many tasty dishes to try at just a fraction of what you might pay in other restaurants around the city.

Accommodations

Being so centrally located, there are also plenty of places where you could choose to stay in the entertainment district. One of the best hotels is the four-star SoHo Metropolitan Hotel. This boutique hotel is perfectly situated just a few streets away from the hustle and bustle of the district. There are also plenty of chain hotels if you want to have somewhere a little more affordable to rest your head.
