The Great Toronto Club Census: Are You Ready to Count? (Because We Sure Aren't)
Ah, Toronto. City of life, love, and... an obscene number of clubs. From basement book clubs with questionable cheese plates to dance floors thumping louder than your uncle at a family reunion, Toronto's club scene is a vibrant beast. But just how vibrant? How many clubs are there, really?
This, my friends, is a question that has baffled philosophers, intrigued urban planners, and probably kept the folks at Guinness World Records up at night. The answer, like a perfectly brewed craft beer, is a bit hazy.
QuickTip: Skim the intro, then dive deeper.

| How Many Clubs Are There In Toronto |
Here's what we know (kind of):
- It's a lot. We're talking more than your average party pack of chips. A LOT. One website claims there might be over 30 large and well-known clubs, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. Smaller venues, bars with hidden dance floors, and secret societies that meet over shuffleboard all contribute to the wild tapestry of Toronto's clubland.
- The university scene is a whole other animal. Just the University of Toronto boasts over 1,000 clubs! That's enough to make your head spin faster than a trance DJ on Red Bull. Who knew people could be so passionate about beekeeping and breakdancing (at the same time?)
Here's what we don't know (and probably never will):
Note: Skipping ahead? Don’t miss the middle sections.
- The exact number. Seriously, with pop-up clubs and speakeasies opening and closing faster than you can say "last call," pinning down a definitive number is like trying to herd cats (especially after those cats have enjoyed a particularly potent mimosa).
- Where the best poutine is served after 2 am. This may be the most important question of all, but that's a whole other investigation for another day.
But hey, that's the beauty of Toronto! There's always a new club to discover, a hidden gem waiting to be unearthed. So grab your dancing shoes (or your comfy reading socks, depending on the club), and get out there!
