"Don’t be fooled by the bleak exterior which hints at this bar’s past life as a garage, Le Ritz (formerly Il Motore) is a veritable cultural hub. It’s not officially a gay bar by any stretch, but is the go-to venue for a number of queer dance parties, and neighbourhood queers show up en masse for other shows and movie screenings on site. There’ll be a cover charge if something is going on, but it operates as a regular (and cheap) bar on off nights." - Tim Forster
