Party Boys, and late-night lovers
FLY Nightclub has remained consistent for being the late-night party boy hangout. Toronto's gay club scene is limited for options, so FLY claims the prize as the place-to-be-seen (shirtless).

Byzantium has a great atmosphere and a hip-crowd. Sometimes it gets too crowded, as the venue is long and narrow. Drinks are pricey and the food is mediocre. But the DJs keep Byzantium one of the livelier venues on the strip, with a strong crowd of regulars returning. Great wine and martini selection --- if you don't mind navigating the crowd to get the bartenders attention.
