Church street is a fantastic meeting place for the gay community in Toronto and a perfect way to learn about the different options Toronto's night life has in store. Start your walk at College/gerard street and let yourself be wooed into small shops with interesting articles, bars and pubs with free publications, maps and advertisements for the parties of the...

This is Toronto's gay district. It is clean and modern, however there are a lot of people who proposition you, which made me uncomfortable. Some bakeries here are a.mazing though

I've lived in this area and visit it every summer. It's a very friendly area and always seems like people have time to sit on patios or in coffee shops. The pubs in the area are great and I've seen a few good shows in the clubs. It's all good fun!! Pride is unreal so much going on and always... More

For some reason Church has become the club house for many of the gays in Toronto. Not that there's anything wrong with that. What they see in this grotty street, escapes me. No trees. Just a lot of two story red brick. Lousy parking. No half-decent restaurants. It's only saving grace is that it turns into muscular Mt. Pleasant at... More

The south end of Church Street is rather mainstream, nothing special other than the occasional shop or restaurant, North of Carleton it becomes the gay village. I'm not gay, but I love to run my errands in the little shops or grab a coffee and find it lively, friendly and pleasant...at night it gets especially lively and a little racier.... More

Bust out your dancing shoes and drinking skills. Lots of bars and clubs to fit all tastes. The only downside is they close at 2am due laws.

Church Street is fabulously, proudly gay - though it's a less of a scene for the younger gay generation, than it used to be (since many of the best gay nights have moved to Queen West and Dundas West). That being said, it's still awesome for people watching, for drag nights and it's continuing political activism.
