    Even one star is far to much for this venue. It is by far the WORST I’ve ever been to. The staff is absolutely ridiculous and rude. My boyfriends band was setting up to play their set and the sound guy flipped because he didn’t like how they set up which was much simpler than his way. He started screaming at them and as one of the guys stepped off and told him to back off, because he was threatening them, the guy grabbed him by the throat, which in turn, caused a major fight on stage in defence against his attack. I myself was hit by him during the fight and I wasn’t part of it at all. I don’t know what this guys name is but he is extremely psychotic and unprofessional, if you were to go in you’d know who I’m talking about right away. He started fighting with every band as soon as they’d walk in. He verbally attacked another of my friends bands while they were on stage as well. He starts fights with bands all the time and yet the owner still employs him. He should be fired immediately and have charges pressed against him and the bar. I do not recommend this place in the slightest. DO NOT book your band here or go see shows booked at this venue so it can be shut down. They do not deserve to be paid for physically and verbally attacking people who are actually capable of doing their jobs.

    If you book a table, make sure to show up the second the doors open. If someone else takes your table, you aren't guaranteed your space, even if you paid extra for it. The show was pretty good, at least what we could see from the super far back after our reserved table was sniped.

    Great venue for live music. The hall shape of the bar makes for a very rich sound front to back. There are some comfortable couches at the back of the bar as well that can make for a more low key setting if you are into that. Bar staff is quite to make drinks and very friendly as well. Shows are quite inexpensive and the last few bands I have seen were quite talented.

    I liked the interior aesthetics of the place. There's red velvet lined chairs and couches along with a seating area of tables and stools, the bar, a dance floor and stage. The staff were friendly and helpful. Rock and roll is alive and kicking at Cherry Cola's! Thank you for a great night!

    How could anyone not love this place? It’s one of the best RnR spots and the best crowds in the city.

    If the name doesn’t grab your attention maybe you should stick a diet soda and the AM dial on your radio! GR8 sight lines, GR8 furniture, GR8 sound, GR8 location/parking, GR8 staff, GR8 time and the 🍒 on top was clean washrooms. There was NOTHING that wasn’t GR8 about it. We’re looking forward to our next visit. Special shout out to a local band ONE IN THE CHAMBER. After their set they made themselves available to talk with and sign some of the T-shirt’s and CDs we purchased. They were GR8, a real blast. Looking forward to there next visit to Cherry Cola’s so we can wear our T’s and show our support - CHEERS 🤬 When are you going to bring back ONE IN THE CHAMBER⁉️

    What an awesome nightclub! Very rock and roll / alternative vibe with burlesque nights on Sundays. Such an experience, worth going at least once, if not many times!

    Amazing venue ! Had an amazing time playing there. The guy running sound very clearly knew what he was doing, as well as thier bartender that night was very personable and outgoing. I've already recommended it to all my local friends and plan on returning myself next time I'm in T.O

    Live music plays here. If you don't like loud music, this place isn't for you. Got brought here by my cousin... Had a blast. Drinks are good, service is good.

    Great atmosphere and lush sumptuous decor makes for an enjoyable and fun night out. The staff are helpful and very friendly. Prices are good. Bring cash or use the Atm on site. Stage area allows for up close and personal with the band playing. Seating is limited tho. No parking and when there is a cover charge it's very reasonable. Case in point we got to see 2 sets with the Mahones and the cover was only $15 !!!

    Really good atmosphere. There are awesome lounge like couches in the back. The washrooms are a little hard to get to, especially if people are dancing. Prices for drinks are good and they have a decent selection of beer. The live music is great as well!

    Go here on their Sinful Sundays burlesque nights! Lots of great talent, local and from abroad! I had a wonderful time here, taking in the show, then my friends and I hung out in the little velvet lounge area near the back for a while. The owner and their friends have great taste in music; I can safely say I've never heard The Stranglers played at any other bar I've been to!
