the orbit room Reviews

Absolutely loved Jordan John and the gang. Would go there again! Also, great service

Great live music venue. Many Canadian legends play here.

Getting to the bathroom while a set is on risks an instrument in the eye. Tight place, intimate with decent sound. Staff is very friendly and regulars keep it going.

One of my fave places in the city. The music never disappoints!

Small, but seems to attract talent way above its appearance.

Always a fun casual night whether on a Monday or a Saturday!

Pro-level band every night, always playing until 2. Friendly crowd, drinks under $10, nice area, too. Support your local venues.

Always love they vibe here! Great bands! Cramped... But if you expect it going in, it's a great time!

Usually a senior public goes to this place, and they do know how to party! Excellent music, loved both times I was there.

Amazing nightly music events and a great staff! Sundays with Horshack are not to be missed!

The crowd here is really fun and the music is one of the better options

Excellent live bands all the time. Not a good bar selection though

A very cool place. The music was amazing! It is a bit small and crowded most of the time and it is a bit awkward to pass right in between the musicians performing to go to the washroom but overall the place has a pretty cool vibe.

We checked this place on the weekend, Amazing Live music, Great Vibe. The band made everyone get involved with their music. Will definitely go again. Recommended.

The best spot for live music every night of the week. A true musician hangout spot.

Had a blast here! and the staff kept my purse safe behind the bar so I could dance :)

The Orbit Room is Toronto's best live music spot, featuring Toronto's best musician's and fantastic guest artists. You are guaranteed a fantastic night at the Orbit Room, the vibe is comfortable and relaxed, the patio is a great place to meet people and the dance floor rocks and is just enough to fit everyone. The bartenders are friendly and fast, and you are welcomed in when you buy your ticket. And to mention, the ticket price is the best deal in town for a fabulous night! Can't say enough about the good times I've had at the Orbit Room!

Awesome live music! Only 4 stars because bathrooms are behind the stage and you have to walk across/in front of the band to get to them

Guaranteed amazing music every night. Great mixed crowd.

Jazz,Reggae is just the place you would think it would be

Fantastic! Funny, friendly, efficient bar staff; absolutely stellar live music (Horshack tonight, but others as well); always a great place for drinks and dancing, and worth whatever distance it takes to get there!

You can always count on the music here being great. If you want a table you have to come earlier. It's a smaller place so they fill up fast. If you've never been here before you might not think much of the dance floor at first but believe me, it will be FULL by the end of the night so this is definitely a place to dance and have fun!

We had such a good time here! This is definitely a hidden gem along College St, but they feature great bands. They encourage you to use up all the space on the dance floor too!

You can be up front and personal in this upstairs cozy live music venue. I had the pleasure of seeing and listening to Blackburn, a trio of brothers with their band, get the crowd up Movin and Groovin. A good night for all.

Funky pop band on a Saturday night.
If'n you like dancin'

This is a place to come to dance, NOT to sit and enjoy live music. By dance I mean sway side to side cause it is almost too packed to actually dance and definitely too packed to see the band at all. Getting to the bar or the washroom is a mission of shoving people aside, and trying to squeeze by the band who plays in the hallway because the stage is so tiny. I was a little annoyed that the band played about 6 songs and then took a "short break" (they were gone for an hour). My boyfriend gets anxious in small crowded spaces so we had to leave before they even came back on.

It is one of few places in Toronto that really prevail. With live rock music and a welcoming, friendly atmosphere. It's small with spunk! Age group is usually over 30.

Really great live music spot, super hidden and barely mentioned in Toronto so not too crowded like most places

My life-partner took me to his friends BDay party at the OrbitRoom,live music was awesome, great place until needing the ladies room while the bands on lol (someone move that piece of equipment, andbkeep the path clear please! Small yet dark&intimate, 2thumbs Up! 8-)

Amazing live music, saw Jordan John play on a Monday night, and now I make every effort to attend

Great live bands! But be prepared to pay a cover entrance fee.

This place is so sick. One of my all time favourite bars, especially on a Sunday night (awesome band)

On a Friday night, it feels exactly like your cousins wedding party. I'm not saying that it's good or bad, depends on what you're looking for :)

Great staff good drinks and great live music!!
Tim is the man!!

Would be there every week if I could. Esp Fridays w Dave Murphy

Way too much fun
Wish I could live there

The place where musicians go when they want to listen to music.

The best live music venue in Toronto! Friendly staff, good beer and an excellent tequila selection! Off to hear Dixie Chicken right now!

I know the Orbit Room many years now, have seen lots of great local talent in it, including Dave Murphy and his great band and this great includes those who ve come and gone over the years. Like, guy on brown-marble (-ish) 5-string bass, French-sounding last name, I forgot... Anyway, I check 4 stars and not 5 because: 1. of the awkward, narrow-elongated form of the room; competes with the Silver Dollar lol, and 2. Dave not turning on the B3 last time I went there this day last week
Was fun though, bless your hearts, all of you, owners, management, staff, and
my most respected beloved envied pitied yet immensely appreciated

Went there on a Thursday night to take in the live band called "Hot Fiyah". They were amazing! Drinks were a decent price... The only thing I didn't like was the chairs and the arrangement. It could use some work to make the place look a bit more inviting.

Music, music, music, music. If you want a live music with a beer, yes, this is the place. Check their website for the right musicians for you. There is a cover fee to begin.

Some of the best bands you can see in Toronto great sound and atmosphere small and intimate.

Sunray and the sattelites play here on tuesdays and they are the best

Love the vibe at this place. The variety of bands mixed with a fun crowd makes it a fun night out. The place is a little small and it can be a bit too crowded at times, but , it's the live music and great energy that makes you feel like you picked the right spot for a fun night out.
Can't wait for the weekend again!

Great vibes, great company and a great selection of drinks.

Great vibes. Monday night resident Jordan John and band are a must see.

Love this place! Mondays (jordan john) and tuesdays (sattalites) and came for LMT one time they were great too. Too bad the music starts so late. One of my favourite spots for live music in the city. Support live music TO!

Cool spot to kick back, have a beer and listen to a live band!!

As always a great place to see some live music and shake it out a bit. The band tonight (Hot Fire) was one I haven't seen before and they were fantastic. The crowd as always was eclectic leaning towards the old age brackets with snippets of just about any group you might think to find in the city. Love the variety. Lots of good options for spirits, some wine, and a few local beers on tap including steamwhistle which is always a winner. Not a bad way to spend a birthday!

This is the best place for live music, and I mean anywhere. I have never seen a bad band here ever, any night of the week. This place is just to much fun.

I've been coming to this place for years. To me it resembles a New York music club - intimate, good bands, fair amount of regulars, mixed crowd all there for the music and dancing. But I've noticed over the years and especially last night that the speakers or sound configurations are WAY off - certain sounds loudly tweak and screech and after 30 minutes my ears are ringing. PLEASE FIX THIS!!!

Fabulous live music--incredible staff--pulls in a terrific crowd: the perfect club.

Great venue for live music, every night of the week

Good music and hip place but terrible service. The owner is extremely rude!! Its very unfortunate ...

I completely recommend this bar, loved the live music and the atmosphere is perfect to celebrate or just hang out.

When we are allowed to gather again the Orbit Room will be the first place I go to see live music again. An odd little place with a great vibe

The band was phenomenal but the place is so small. Bartenders were great also.a
