beautiful people
submitted by Sophie for PLAY on Queen Nightclub on April 2, 2013
had so much fun at Play!!!! it was my friend's bday so we did bottle service... the place is a little smaller, and kinda cozy, so it felt like the right fit for me and my friends.... we were able to stay in the same area... we danced all night. nobody really bothered us but we did end up partying with another group that had bottle service. they were awesome. overall, great night.... Happy Birthday Jess!!!!

This place was shut down.
It's been closed for a week
submitted by Really for PLAY on Queen Nightclub on August 14, 2013
Where are these reviews coming from? This place has been dead and closed since the long weekend. No music, no doormen, no nothing. Apparently the owners and management are still trying to make this place happen by posting fake reviews even if they don't open it?
weeknight

Fakes

Summer is almost over and play is almost shut down.
But don't let that sucker you in to believing their fake reviews.
Imagine how much more cash they would have made if they weren't getting slammed by bad reviews from the beginning! Lol!

Rebelz

First time going to play... Apparently tuesday nights is a new thing. Pretty impressed by how many people came out. Damn good turnout for a tuesday. Guess the summer gets people out overall pretty good. Crowd was awesome. No egos. People just dont give a fk on a tuesday. Good night
live bands
submitted by Sammy for PLAY on Queen Nightclub on July 23, 2013
They had a live band. No clue who they were but still pretty dope. Mixing a live band with a dj keeps things interesting. Different club experience, this place is cozy

Awesome cover band last week... Live performance. Cant say that ive seen that in a club lately....
Patio season
submitted by Casey for PLAY on Queen Nightclub on July 15, 2013
Really glad the patio is open for the season... Clubs get soooo loud and i usually meet people outside more than inside. Trying to quit smoking... But patios, booze and boys kinda make it hard to kick the habit ;)
Junior prom
submitted by Uncle Fester for PLAY on Queen Nightclub on July 15, 2013
Wot?! Older crowd?! Only true if you're twelve years old. The kids at this club are just barely drinking age if they're even that. The location on queen is excellent but crowd and music make or break a club and this one is broooooken!
Wednesday wastage
submitted by Greg for PLAY on Queen Nightclub on June 27, 2013
I once went to a thursday night at this place and it sucked. I guess that was a flop because they've now cancelled those (too much competition from decent places) and are trying their luck with wednesdays. I got dragged there again and it sucked just as much as the thursday did! I couldn't understand how a place could be so bad until i found out it is owned and operated by the same israeli couple who own the swingers bar wicked upstairs at the same address. Everyone knows that place is basically a joke :)
Of age
submitted by Cathy for PLAY on Queen Nightclub on June 26, 2013
Thank god.. Crowd here is a little older. Mid 20's to early 30's. Healthy balance of young professionals recent graduates, instead of the usual barely legal crowd. Or freshman frat boys. Better than most.
Sad little dump
submitted by Ken for PLAY on Queen Nightclub on June 19, 2013
Rude obnoxious manager who thinks he is gods gift to toronto because he is responsible for this little turd of a club. To top off the attitude problem, this is one of the lamest places toronto has ever known. Feel free to go if you have weekends that aren't worth anything to you. I'd say you'd be better off at another club, but actually you'd be better off staying home!

Why do all the 'good' reviews for this place read like advertising? So fake. The losers who run this place are totally transparent lol
playtime
submitted by Missy for PLAY on Queen Nightclub on June 5, 2013
Lets play saturdays are always so busy... Not like too busy where you cant walk around.... Busy like cool people and enough space to dance. Drinks are priced ok and cover isnt too bad. Really do like coming here. Bigger clubs are too busy and its always too hot . Absolutely love play. Im a little biased because my friend used to work there.... So thats how i found play.. But if it werent for her i would have never found it.

Had soo much fun friday night!!! Really love getting dressed up and having a few drinks with my girls.... Love that play is on queen west makes it really easy to get to and the crowd is always a good mix since its all ppl from the queen west area. I really like the decor and even though ive never been upstairs im really intrigued i like how private this place is
Club fail
submitted by Sandi for PLAY on Queen Nightclub on June 1, 2013
Play is not a classy place. Its actually comically uncool - like your grandma's idea of where young people go to hang out. In fact the only thing its got going for it is the killer location but that advantage disappears as soon as you get inside. if your going to trek out to the ossington strip there are tones of better, cooler, classier, places to go. Play (and the upstairs club wicked) is completely out of place and that is why it hardly gets anyone in. I can't imagine it'll last long and i can't wait to see what sort of better place takes the building when it's gone...
Incompetent management
submitted by Truth for PLAY on Queen Nightclub on May 25, 2013
Play is proof that incompetent management can destroy any business (no matter how many reviews you write about your own club). Just remember losers: you have no one to blame but yourselves.

This is my top spot for a sat night....Always a line up out the door, place is packed and the ppl are committed. They come to party for real. If youre looking for a place to stop by on sat def worth it its always busy
Awful place
submitted by Alex for PLAY on Queen Nightclub on May 21, 2013
Play is a sad little spot on an up-and-coming part of queen west right by ossington. It's the lower level of club wicked and its obviously run by the same people who run that establishment. It looks like its trying to be classy but you can see the same bad taste that gave us their previous tries at a ground level bar in the same building: stuckup staff, way overpriced for what it is, and no taste. Can't see it lasting long lol.

Queen beats joker
submitted by Queen voice for PLAY on Queen Nightclub on April 7, 2013
Anybody who knows what's what knows play is a cool avant garde trendy hip chic nitespot, obviously the joker loser has never gotten in, because if you have you would know this management doesn't have to boast or brag on here to try and drive traffic to play....
Get off our case!
submitted by Jokers An idiot for PLAY on Queen Nightclub on April 5, 2013
Okay you ball less loser why do you care what we do o advertise our club. Play is the only good club in Toronto or probably anywere in the US to. Its not like you are any one else on this crap site has any idea what good music or a beautiful veneue looks like. Toronto is a shit town and is lucky to have us provide this beautiful veneue. Anybody who wants a look at what real talent looks like should come to Play and is lucky to get in
THE TRUTH

Not worth your $ or you time
submitted by JeffT for PLAY on Queen Nightclub on April 2, 2013
I cant figure out why the management keep going on and on about their decor. Its completely ugly and cheesy. People go to the home show for decor and clubs for a fun night out but you cant get either at Play or Wicked.
Sucks
submitted by Les for PLAY on Queen Nightclub on April 2, 2013
Play has a way bigger attitude than it deserves. Before you start acting like arrogant dicks you have to run a decent club. Right now all they've got in there is a few horny guys and their attitude.

Not a new club anymore and never got popular. Just limping along and not gonna catch on now. Bad music, crowd, attitude etc. probably the reason but all the bad reviews couldnt help. Maybe if the management werent such douches things wouldve gone different for Play...

Nothing special
submitted by Sweet'n'spicy for PLAY on Queen Nightclub on March 30, 2013
Thought that it might be a bit edgy because of being part of the swingers bar Wicked. But there's really nothing memorable about this place good or bad. Staff was fine and decor was okay but not noticeable. Music was standard and not many people there. Doubt I'd go back as place is completely meh and toronto has better places.

Big mirror

So from what i recall, this is the same place as the club vogue just under a new name? Is it the place with the big mirror in the back to make the room look double its size? Standard club, music, and crowd nothin special.. please innovative designs? I went to pacha in Ibiza and if u want to kno innovation please take notes from them and not ur airhead canadian promoters who have as much culture as my little toe

I love Club Crawlers! It used to be if you had a bad experience at a club you just had to live with it. Now you can tell everyone about it on Club Crawlers and watch some self-important semi-literate club manager squirm and write a pile of fake positive reviews to try to sucker new people into coming. If you go to Play, consider yourself suckered!

Play
submitted by Marco for PLAY on Queen Nightclub on February 28, 2013
Not that anyone cares but Wicked didn't have clubs on the ground floor before it had bars and a restaurant. I know - nasty - a restaurant/swingers club. You can have bars on W Queen W but not clubs. You can also put anything you want if no one goes in probably why Play has lasted so far.
Been there before
submitted by Memory lane for PLAY on Queen Nightclub on February 27, 2013
Ruby's right. Wicked has tried 'entry level' places in their on their ground floor since they opened. They've all been flops too. None have lasted more than a few months just like Play.

Wonder why?
submitted by Mia's in big trouble for PLAY on Queen Nightclub on February 27, 2013
There is nothing else like Play on Queen West. Know why? Because there are no other clubs on Queen West. Wonder why that is? Because you can't get a club license for Queen West (trust me, I've tried!)
Play must be operating under a restaurant license and has been around for about 6 months. That's when the shit starts hitting the fan. They're probably under a shitstorm from the cops, neighbours and the city bylaw enforcement.
Rookie mistake. Very hard to get your money back from a business that gets shut down within the year. Say bye bye, Play.
Play
submitted by Mia for PLAY on Queen Nightclub on February 27, 2013
The truth is this venue is not the norm for queen w, hence more posts then many other clubs buy angry wanna be hipsters and queen w folk who don't work and have this time on their hands. The reality is the venue is real nice looking, the crowd is good looking and well dressed, there are prerequisites to getting in, as you can notice in the pictures that don't lie!!! These are all factors that queen w folk aren't use to, but their not use to Timmy's or starbucks either, but it is the changing of the guard! Get use to it , take a bath comb your hair and grow up!
Ps----- the place has nothing to do with wicked, if it did everyone in Toronto would feel comfortable and clean swinging in a bueatiful environment not a shithole...
Unprofessional
submitted by Hayley for PLAY on Queen Nightclub on February 27, 2013
Play is the least professional club I have EVER seen. The last comment just proves it! The security staff are bullies. Those high school students who liked to push other kids around? They now work at Play. The bartenders are just unhygienic! Maybe running a club isn't easy but if you can't do it then do something else!!!

this just proves toronto clubbers are way out of the loop. wicked doesn't own play and its ran and owned by someone else just because a club is below something doesn't mean its ran by wicked wow you clubbers are lame and why don't you guys try to open a club since you all think its so easy and think comments on a lame website will actually work lol
Club Fail

When I heard that Wicked opened up a mainstream club a few months ago I had to laugh. Who would want to go to a club that was the brainchild of a failing swingers club? I cant believe I got dragged there last weekend with a couple of guy friends who thought it might be hot. Man were they wrong!!! It didn't take long before they admitted it!!!
We stayed around for a little while just to laugh at some of the greasy looking guys and rough looking girls they dragged in. Thank god we could save the night with drinks at the Drake! You don't get enough Saturday nights in a year to spend one at Play!

Idiots
submitted by Cathleen for PLAY on Queen Nightclub on February 22, 2013
One visit to play and you can tell that it was set up and run by idiots who have no idea what they are doing. Not that you'd expect much from the great minds that brought you the slogan "Time to bring the industry back to what it was not what it is!" Huh?! The only people this place attracts are not the people you want to spend your night with...
My basement is bigger than the place...
submitted by Mike for PLAY on Queen Nightclub on February 21, 2013
The place sucks ass period.
I went on wednesday, im not sure its trashy Jersey like people event day, but man all the men looked like ronnie and just creepily staring at the girls.
Most of the women were super ugly, wore so much make up or were literally just standing still...
Other than 4 girls i danced with the placed was filled horrendously bitchy ugly women who couldnt dance if their life dependent on it lol.
First time i went to a club where I was the only guy dancing with a girl, and I didnt even see one person make out lol.
This place super gay, wait its not even gay its asexual. If you undergo mitosis, definitely a club you should attend lmfao.
P.S. Security pretty much fingers your asshole and fondles your testicle.

But anyone who knows Toronto clubs knows that Play and Wicked are both owned by Aurora and Schlomo Benzion and both managed by Alex - cant remember his last name. The guys trying to say they are different must be from Simon Media or Crowned Entertainment who are trying to make the place work and get away from the old reputation.

submitted by Blind mouse for PLAY on Queen Nightclub on January 24, 2013
That's right Dalia: the reason why Play is failing hard is because you're ahead of your time and queen street west isn't ready for you or used to venues as posh and beautiful as yours. Keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better. Meanwhile people will keep going to places they actually like :)

Dear promoter we know you wish toronto had collective amnesia and would forget about wicked up stairs and all the earlier flops at this place like Wicked downstairs bar, Vogue bar, Cabaret but we dont. U can't just slap a coat of paint on the place and put up some new signs and have a whole new club. Its the same as before not a new club but the same thing.

No one from downtown - just the 905ers in for a nite in the city. Lame.

I think what's going on with this place is the owners of Wicked and Play have been trying to turn a profit for a few years and Play is their latest try - swingers upstairs and sexy lounge downstairs. The only problem is that you can't polish a turd - it's still shit.

Bad idea

I feel sorry for the owners of Club Wicked/Play. The concept is all wrong: a lounge bar in the basement of a swingers club. The idea may have worked at Wicked's old location in the club district 2005, but not on Queen St. West in 2012. They must be losing cash fast.

the ladies and I planned a girls night out this past saturday and wanted to check out some places on queen so after looking at so many options we came across play. based on the photos of the place we decided to check it out since we're all in our 26's s and wanted a nice atmosphere and a good spot to dance. we decided to book a table for 15 of us. we arrived around 1130 and mentioned we had a booth so they walked us to our booth with no issue, the place was pretty busy at 1130 but hey I came here to dance with the ladies :) The overall of play was amazing I loved the layout of the club and of course the runway. Music was a mixture and loved the fact the DJ played everything everyone can dance. The service for bottle service was quick we ordered our bottles and got them fast so didn't wait a long time. The booths we're clean and comfy really liked it. I enjoyed the fact everyone in the place was in dresscode and not snobby. will be attending more often. good job play

Came across this venue on Wednesday after hitting up King Street and decided to go down Queen St West around 1230 so we went to check it out and it was busy for a Wednesday night. Loved the house music the dj was spinning and crowd was clean and older so that was good. I honestly thought it would be dead but once we entered it was busy and a lot hot chicks. Haven't been on a weekend might go check it out tonight to see how it is.

Here's how it works: play is still the swingers club wicked. Wicked used to be the only one in toronto but now they've got lots of competition and their hurting. They've tried lots of things to get people upstairs. They've called the lower level wicked, vogue bar, cabaret and now play but it never works. Once you're in they want you to go upstairs to swing. They're getting desperate.

A club with no entertainment license
submitted by Jason for PLAY on Queen Nightclub on October 2, 2012
Sorry guys: Play has a liqueur license but no entertainment facility license. The place is driving 80 year old grandmas and young families nuts with the noise.
Check out queenbeac dot wordpress dot com/problems-w-bars-in-your-area-here-are-some-tips/
The Social got away with operating without an entertainment license for 5 years before finally having to close down. The Drake and Beaconsfield finally had to do something about their patios. Lots of places at Queen and Os are good neighbours but Play isn't.
By-law Enforcement in Toronto is slow, but it will shut Play down. In the meantime, don't be a jerk by supporting them: it could've been you, your mom, or grandmother that this place chose to mess over to make a buck.

to comment to jason stop hating on a business everyone knows you can't open a bar or serve booze without a license so stop being a prick and get a life. just because you sit at home and jerk off don't sit there and try tell people the law
Please boycott Play
submitted by Jason for PLAY on Queen Nightclub on September 30, 2012
Play is in violation of zoning bylaws. It does not have an entertainment facility (i.e. club) license and is in an area not zoned for clubs. Noise from the club (which should not be audible outdoors after 11 pm) is in violation of Toronto noise by-laws. The club receives 5-10 noise complaints every night it is open. The outdoor patio, which was installed without a license, violates city of Toronto noise by-laws (even for licensed patios), which state that patios must be cleared by 11 pm. The city of Toronto is currently investigating and a group comprised of the majority of residents at the south end of Brookfield street are working with the city to force the club to close down or follow the law. Brookfield Street is home to many residents who have been there for 40+ years and many young families. Unfortunately, by-law enforcement in Toronto is a slow process. In the meantime, please don't patronize a club that is causing so much distress to a downtown community.

Went to Play this past Friday and it was incredible! I heard from one of my girlfriends that it just opened up so we decided to go check it out. The crowd was a lot of fun, very friendly people and the DJ was great. Had all the style and class of a King st. club without the arrogant feel. Definitely going back soon.
