Pretty cool place for events and weekend nights! Came here for a friend’s wedding, which is a bit costly, but worth the memories! Right by the lake where you can get the best views of the city skyline!!! Definitely come visit Polson Pier if you’re visiting the city and get a snapshot of the beautiful city of Toronto from this secret spot!

This club is awesome! Great setup, lighting and sound quality for live sows. Drove out to Toronto from Winnipeg with a friend for the Kesha show a few years back, had an absolute blast that night! Great view of the Toronto skyline from the parking lot too. :)

90% of the bad reviews are about phone stolen, wallet stolen. Please put a check on people who get in maybe run a basic criminal check.PLEASE understand if someone steals $100 he steals it but if someones phone is stolen it involves all contacts, photos, memories, bank and social media and he CANT EVEN CALL FOR HELP.My friend came from States and had her wallet stolen do you know how hard it was that night for her.And the security staff misbehaving reviews yes I was offered by a guard to pay him in cash to skip the line .

Awesome venue for concerts! The view of the city from here is amazing, especially during sunset. Went here for a Dropkick Murphys concert which was awesome. The building is huge inside.

I came here for a 6lack concert and it was very nice. I love the atmosphere, there is a very nice view of the Toronto skyline. I hung out near the bar, I preferred it to the crowd. They have nice seating areas and a couple standing tables placed throughout the crowd area. They also have bars up front, so drinks are easy to access. They give out different color bands for underage, of age and vip. I would definitely visit again.

Big venue, but that doesnt matter if the place is overcrowded, which it usually is but Ive been to worse. Drink prices are a little high plus certain members of the security team clearly have some insecurities as they seem to enjoy abusing their power but overall the employees are professional. The light shows are cool and the music is decent.Ive heard so many people say this is the best club around but Ive been to better. To be fair though, Ive also been to plenty of worse ones too.

Way to go. This is a fun place. You definitely want to get on the guest list every weekend unless is a concert, for those you need to get tickets way ahead of time, the most popular the show gets sold out fast, I saw people take transit to get there, not sure if parking is a problem or too expensive. Either way, the inside is great, no obstructions wherever you standing you got a great view.So many beautiful people, drink prices werent bad actually quite competitive.Thanks to the promoter for having on the list, for almost every weekend in 2019. We keep coming for more fun, nothing can’t stop us.

Best night club in the City. State of the art building with 2 floors including a main stage, hip hop room, and EDM room. Both floors have a patio that overlooks the lake and downtown Toronto. Amazing sound system, very loud and lots of bass. The staff including bouncers, bartenders, and washroom attendants are all really nice. Theres a station where they hand out popcorn for free. They have female dancers on stage and on the dance floor in cages and glass boxes. Easy to travel to and has a large parking lot available. This is where all the classy people come to party. Dress to impress if you plan on checking it out.

Nice concert venue and great bar. Service was a little strained but thats to be expected for a big event. The sound quality is top grade and you can feel the bass within you. Definitely go to the live shows when you can.

Review №14

Pretty cool venue. We saw Dermot Kennedy, the stage is a bit low so it’s hard to see over taller people but luckily the main act brought their own platform which raised them up higher so everyone could see. The smoke, lights, and sound were amazing. The parking lot is horrible though. It bottlenecks 500 cars to a single exit. It got nasty trying to get out and took us about and hour to get from the lot to the street. Park far away and walk if you go to a big turnout event.

Rebel is the place to be every weekend. Never disappointed. Enormous venue and music is lit. If you never been to be Rebel, you are missing out. You dont need a occasion to celebrate, you just have to visit Rebel.

Ok so here’s the deal. I LOVE REBEL. ITS A FANTASTIC VENUE AND I’ve seen some of my favourite shows here BUT WHY. THE. HELL. is coat check OUTSIDE. why do I have to wait in the cold in Nov OUTSIDE. I just should have left my coat at home smh

Review №17

I thought that this is one of the better venues for a concert in terms of actual space is ability of the performer and the Aesthetics. I cant really speak to the clubbing atmosphere because Ive only been here for a concert, but I thought it was well conducted. The only thing that is that this place is quite hard to get to as its not close to any Subway Lines.

Review №22

First time here even though Im from here. Im very impressed with the space and design. The drinks were not over priced and the staff seemed professional. 10/10 for sound sytem. Because I was here with an event it could have had a factor on my impression... Later on the crowd got really young. Too young kinda ruins the vibe as people get smashed too soon. I dont think Id come here on my own but its nice to know Toronto has this kinda space, for now.

Great venue for concerts! The sound system, light show are good and Toronto’s lakeshore view from this place is insane. If you are planning to go to rebel keep in mind that is in the middle of no where so it gets quite busy to get out of there specially during winter time (coat check) after a show.

Review №24

It’s a really big and nice place, reminds me of Las Vegas nightclubs. If you get after 11:30, even if it’s for just one minute, you will have to pay 20 dollars to enter so plan your schedule and get on time. The music is good!

Rebel has done a good job remodeling the old sound academy. Stage is small but theres lots of room and being more than just a big dance floor is fun.. Stages in back make it interesting to explore

Review №33

Bar tenders were snotty and service was terrible. Terrible venue for concerts. The ceiling comes down so low that if youre in the back area, you cannot see the stage. They literally ran out of regular Coke/Pepsi at the beginning of the show. We lined up for VIP and it took an hour in the freezing cold; they didnt even turn the heat on for us.

Review №36

Pretty nice venue. Was hesitant but its quite the setup. Quite a bit of parking across the street for $20. It can be a really busy road with venue-goers and taxis. If you want free parking and dont mind a 10 min walk, you could park at Cherry Beach. I went in for Impact Wrestlings Slammiversary. The place was packed and loud. Security was polite and allowed those of us who couldnt see from the seats to stand on the counters lol. They had to move us for handicapped. Theres tons of space to move around though, many bars as well.

Went to the Amon Amarth show. Staff were amazing. They helped people in the crowd (lifted them out, gave out water, ...). Security were professional and courteous. The staff found something important I lost in the lost and found. It was hot in there and they gave me water with ice no charge (but of course I tipped, waitress work hard!). Anyway, just a great experience! Oh and the show was amazing as well.

Review №41

5 stars to the night club, I really like the bar menus, the set of lights and quality of the music. The only thing that I dont like was the service of  bartender, I order a couple of drinks and one of the bartender girls takes my credit card and add 25 or 30 % of tip without my permission , Very disrespectful and advantageous.  I  claimed and she give me a ugly face . Im not cheap but you can,t take advantage of customers like that.They contact me to clear what happen that night.-

Review №42

Amazing music on the ground floor, the atmosphere was killer, and the bartenders were very swift at their jobs, but I can’t think of anything else very positive about this place. Crowd was meh, and a vast majority of the bouncers were not so nice. The most unorganized nightclub I have been to in the city— don’t expect a line, everybody will just clump & shove. I was sexually assaulted multiple times within the 3 hours that I was inside, and drinks are expensive.This place has a lot of potential, and I would possibly consider going back, but I was needless to say a little letdown.

Great sound system and I have always loved the view of downtown Toronto from the parking lot. Bathroom attendant is a great touch, wish the bar selection was a little more varied.

The biggest club in Canada probably. They always have insane events and DJs. Always book for the upper floor! Personally don’t enjoy the lower floor as much because it is so chaotic sometimes.Too bad there is this pandemic or I would be celebrating Christmas, New year and my birthday over at rebel with my friends. I just hope this pandemic can be over soon and I can come visit again!

Review №53

Went to this club for the first time. (Out of province guest). I have never been treated so well by the service staff. We had a booth with a bunch a good buddies. And had a server, I’m not sure of her name but I want to say it was Shannon. She was absolutely amazing. She made the experience that much better. We didn’t have to ask for anything, she knew what we wanted, when we wanted it. Totally made our rebel experience the best it could be. If you ever get a booth at rebel ask for Shannon, she is truly the best!!

Review №54

Nice place, bigger than I thought. I like that there are multiple bars. I wish it was a bit easier to know what kinda of ticket you are buying (more photos, etc)The photo is from the floor, just underneath the upper level where the crowd thins during a music concert. There are a couple standing tables here and one of the bars is about 15 feet behind this shot. Quite easy and quick to get a drink during a concert here which was great!There is a patio about 40 feet to the right of the picture for smoking and you can bring your drinks out.Standard ticket purchased.

Absolutely beautiful venue. Came for the Micheal Kiwanuka concert and all the bar staff to the right facing the stage were very personable and friendly. Noticeably extremely good-looking staff too - props to the hiring team. I do recommend getting tickets on the balcony if you are shorter though. Crowd was more mature that night which was pleasant. Am coming back on Saturday to check out their nightclub night with my husband. Thank you.

I always have fun when I go to REBEL, it’s my break from King West, but I had a great experience this past weekend! Grace (who I had known from another venue) took care of me, and despite all the customers (there were A LOT), she was on top of everything, and she made sure my glass was never empty. Thanks again Grace! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Hands down the best venue for a party in the city. One of the few clubs in the country that can compete against top international clubs in Las Vegas and Ibiza. The sound and light systems are definitely top notch. VIP bottle service and bartenders are very professional. Grace Kim serves the best drinks at her bar and ensures my group and I are well taken care of. It feels like Im partying with a friend when Im drinking at her bar.

The absolute weekend hot spot with a diverse range of sounds. I’ve been frequenting this venue for a few years and I’d have to attribute that to Grace who works as the bartender for both rebel and cabana. Her attention to service during peak times is just an incredible thing to see. I wish i could look that pretty pouring out drinks, but I am a guy after all 🤷🏻‍♂️ . Be sure to ask for Grace to get the best service during the weekends, you wont regret it!

Rebel is Torontos premier club and music event emporium! Definitely no reason to go to any other club than this one in Toronto. What makes this club so special is their staff and there venue is top notch. I went to Solaris recently to see my favorite producer Deadmau5 & had the pleasure of having Grace as my server and she was fantastic! Definitely quick fast and professional. Definitely look forward to going again and hopefully have a chance to have her again as she made my night extra special :)

WARNING: this club is infamous for stolen phones. Got my phone stolen last weekend. For large concerts/events it’s clear that they oversell tickets. It was so packed that you couldn’t even move. People were getting rowdy/shoving each other. If there was a serious emergency you wouldn’t be able to get anyone out of there. On the plus side: the entry process was quick and well-run, as well as the coat check. Service was good, drinks were good, they take debit, and the free popcorn was a definite win. However, I would not come to this club again due to the overcrowding and thieves.

I every so often I go to Rebel because it is one of the premiere clubs in Toronto to have a fun time. Its always a great night whenever I go especially cause of Grace, who is a bartender there . She is probably the fastest bartender there and always has a great attitude which really enhances my experience there. She does take her of her customers and always is smiling. If you do go seek Grace out cause she is great.

Review №96

This place is an absolute joke. Staff and security were beyond rude. I purchased tickets months ago to see one of my favourite bands play here well before I became pregnant. I get to the venue and right away they tried to deny me entry because I had a sealed bottle of water with me, I explained I was pregnant and I needed to have water with me but they didn’t seem to care. After fighting with them for a few minutes they finally said it was okay. In between bands I wanted to step outside for some air as it was very hot and stuffy inside, but I didn’t want to go down to where the 80+ people were smoking cigarettes. The outside security staff then started yelling at me to move along and that I wasn’t allowed to just stand off to the side outside. Once again I explained that I’m pregnant and didn’t want to inhale all of the second hand smoke. Didn’t matter to them, I was forced to either stand there with all the smokers or to just go back inside. Completely blown away by how disrespectful the staff were, even after explaining that I was merely wanting some fresh air and would not be smoking as I am pregnant. Will never come here again even if my favourite band plays here AND magically offers to pay me to step foot inside again! Close this place down!

ABSOLUTELY BRUTAL SERVICE. NEVER COMING BACK HERE AGAIN. Went to the washroom and when I came back they wouldnt let me back into the purple room where my booth was and asked if I spoke English when I told them???? I also bought a bottle that I could not get access to since the guy wouldnt let me back into the room. Even worse is that there was a big stream of people leaving the room, and he still wouldnt let me back in. Shocked that this individual was so racist towards me, and what a waste of all that money.

Best place in Toronto to party! This is a great venue and always brings the best DJs to town. Its always easy getting in as they are extremely organized and booking booths is always a pleasure with Alexas help. Shes always there to greet us at the door and make sure our group has a good time.
