Little Italy & The Annex Clubs

College Street between Bathurst and Ossington is Toronto's second nightlife strip, with a very different personality from King West. Nest is one of the largest clubs in the city with one of its best sound systems, El Convento Rico has been throwing Latin parties with midnight drag shows since the 1990s, and Coda, just north in the Annex, is the home of techno and house.

The crowd skews a little more music-first, doors are friendlier, and there are dozens of bars and late-night restaurants on the same blocks for before and after.
