    The bar vibe is very intimating & unwelcoming. There are groups of older regulars who make it so uncomfortable for if you are alone and a person of color ( constantly staind when said Hello, totally ignored ) Also as a person of colour this was worst. No wonder I was the only non white there. I won’t recommend this place better explore a friendly bar which respects you. WARNING - Stay away from the white older snobs & racist who are regular there.

    Great spot on Church street to hangout. The staffs are friendly. There are a lot of activities to choose from trivia, ping pong table, pool dart, and other bar top video games. They also host various nights like trivia nights with one of the bartenders. A welcoming environment where you can find a vast varieties of patrons of different background and generations. Definitely one of my favourite spot in the village to feel at home.

    Newly renovated and cleaned up, three pool tables, darts, slot machines. Casual dance area, good music and good vibes. My particular waitress was very blase, but didn't bring us down. I'll be back. A fun place to unwind on a weekday night.

    Wow! My niece and I had a fun evening here while on holiday. Nice evening with tasty cocktails, pool, ping pong and Tuesday night quiz! The staff were all very nice, and we were so kindly included in the fun quiz that I think has mostly regular guests attending every Tuesday evening. There was such a friendly and cheerful atmosphere, and we were even given delicious home made cookies by one of the guests who shared them around the room. In short; a laid back and fun place to spend an evening!

    This bar is not just a watering hole! There are billiard tables, darts, shuffle board and ping pong tables available as well. Many groups choose Pegs as we lovingly refer to it as their meet after or for planning their events. This bar welcomes everyone, gay, bisexual, trans gender, straight etc. with open arms into a safe and inclusive environment. There is zero tolerance for annoying people that do not respect everyone's right to safe enjoyment. So if your in the neighborhood drop in and experience for yourself. Staff are also fantastic and many of them have been there for years which supports the inclusive safe environment.

    Very well maintained pool tables in a queer friendly environment. Some arcade style games, ping pong, and shuffleboard. There is a typically stocked bar on site with quiz games as well. A pleasant, low-key space for hanging out and playing games. Small tables are also here if people just want to hang out and talk. I have been to a variety of events here and found it very welcoming.

    Pegasus On Church is an absolute gem in Toronto's nightlife scene. The ambiance is electric, and the dance floor never disappoints. The diverse crowd creates a welcoming atmosphere, and the music selection keeps you moving all night. While some might find the drinks slightly pricey, the overall experience is worth it. The friendly staff and excellent service add to the allure of this club. Whether you're a local or a visitor, Pegasus On Church guarantees an unforgettable night out. Don't miss it!

    This used to be a great bar with friendly strong bartenders, great music and atmosphere. Recently they've changed the entertainment to noisy TV shows (non-stop RuPaul and Survivor), and the staff are increasingly rude and not correct in their billing, with a particularly bad experience this weekend.

    Such a fun place. Trivia with Simon (Are you smarter than a Scottish guy) is the most hilarious evening you will spend all week. Be sure to check this place out for pool, darts, ping pong , televised sports and great staff and good times.

    Really fun bar. It's upstairs, the entrance can be easily missed. Big open space with large windows over looking Church St. The windows open up in spring and summer. Fun for people watching or being seen. Plenty of bar tables throughout the space. Bar staff is super friendly and make great drinks. There's a pool table and video games as well for entertainment. They have plenty of TV screens throughout the space. The days I was in town they didn't have anything specific going on. I did notice they had a number of performance and themed nights. Although on Church and seemed to have a predominantly male client it seemed open to all not just gays. Really enjoyed this place for happy hour. Wasn't crowded and the place was sunny. They even have free WiFi. Totally fun place.

    I love this bar! Low key, casual and lots do do; shuffle board, pool, ping pong, darts and more. Drinks are reasonable and lots of seating. They have gender neutral bathrooms which is AMAZING, especially for those who know the difficulty public restrooms can pose. Great to meet up with friends, a date or just a night on your own.

    We hit the pool tables around 6, and I gotta say, they were in great shape. But here's the thing – the beer or just the bottles had this weird weed-like smell, so we passed on another round. Later on, the place got pretty packed.

    Great environment where everyone is welcome. Had some drinks with my wife and friends on Halloween night and it's an awesome place to hangout, shoot some pool, and get together with friends.

    It is a real good place to have a couple of drinks and play pool or ping pong. Nice vibes, friendly staff and ice cold chilled beer. I will definitely go there again. It is also in a very lively location.

    A great place to catch the Village Vibe in more tempered pace making it a great place for great, and easily heard, conversations! Aestheticly a cheerful pub look. Relaxing atmosphere, variety of drink choices, pool tables available to grab a friendly game with your friends, staff are friendly, clean facilities. Plays great music, often with the video on a big screen. Pre-C19 had Trivia and Bingo nights and hope they come back! Window seats available with a view of Church St. and watch the activity below. Though the entrance is right in front of you, you can easily miss... look for the red Pegasus logo and up the stairs you go!

    ‘Are You Smarter Than A Scottish Guy’ is the Best Trivia night in Toronto. Tuesday nights at Pegasus on Church. Simon is THE best host, even better than Alex Trebek was , may he rest in peace. And he is also moderately cute.

    Pegasus on Church is my go to place to chill and feel welcomed. The staff here are all amazing. If you like trivia you need to come on Tuesdays for Are you smarter then a Scottish guy.

    Great bar. Just what you'd expect. A real staple in the community. Pool tables, drinks and food. Also, the trivia host is the absolute greatest!

  • 5/5 Mahika B. 1 year ago on Google
    Came here on a quiet Tuesday, and there was a trivia night on. The MC, Simon, was absolutely delightful and the place was chill, welcoming, and just generally a great way to sit back and enjoy the Village, especially if you’re a non-clubby but still lively environment. I came alone and immediately felt at home in the Pegasus

    If you are looking for a gay space to hang out in without too much prestige or fuss, then this is the space for you. It's a friendly and easy-going space that focusses on drinking & chatting (plus games). It's not a nightclub vibe so its a great space if you are looking for more of a local gay bar vibe.

  • 4/5 JesseObre 7 months ago on Google • 50 reviews
    Visited awhile back and I gotta say, tables here play really nice, food and drinks were very cheap. Only downside is not a lot of space between the tables. Overall decent establishment!

    We like play ping pong and billards here. Be sure to bring ur ID even you don’t order any drinks.

  • 5/5 Michael S. 2 years ago on Google
    Friendly staff in a relaxed environment. Place to listen to music and watch sports, play some pool or gaming machines. From Trivia night to open mic nights, this place is a hub of Church Street. Thank you for many fun night, wild events and great cocktails

  • 4/5 Nine 10 months ago on Google
    From the perspective of a former employee, Pegasus isn’t a terrible place. However there were more than a few concerning aspects of working there. I won’t go on and on but I do wish them luck into the future and hope they can be more supportive for their employees. I don’t think they are Ill intended. But they are are well adjusted and I think they could cause more harm than good.

    Giving 5 stars for the lovely bartender Adam, they were fabulous and so kind and quick. Made myself and my friends feel special and right at home. Great conversation and laughs

  • 5/5 Mike K. 1 year ago on Google
    A great and classy place!! Be sure to come on Tuesday for “Are you Smarter than a Scottish Guy”. Good looking bartenders. Friendly crowd. In the heart of the gay village

  • 5/5 Sophie X. 1 year ago on Google
    Trivia nights on Tuesday were so good!! Simon was funny (someone get him a Netflix special). 10/10 recommend coming here. P. S. Their shots were hella generous.

  • 5/5 Sandra M. 1 year ago on Google
    The thing that kept me going through all this covid rubbish was getting drunk online twice a week with Simon and his gang from Pegasus doing online trivia. Had something to look forward to every week. Thanks Simon for The Best Trivia ever

    A great place to meet old friends or new ones. A bar that you can actually have a conversation in. They have pool tables and NTN trivia. Friendly bar service (no table service)
