Bangarang

A nice little bar on college street with outdoor seating as well as a now-open indoor bar. They also have two cornhole games but those are always occupied. They have a decent selection of beers and cocktails. I liked the ambience and plan to go back with a bigger friends’ group. Special shout out to the bartenders who are so darn sporty!

Modest patio setup on the outside with a totally different vibe inside! Decent drinks overall. They don't serve much food at all, so I'd recommend bringing your own food if you are hungry!

Went on Halloween night. Very young white crowd. I felt like I was at a high school party. The dance-floor is squished between two fenced in cornhole games. That would be fine if it wasn’t packed, but it was, so it was incredibly difficult to move around in there. And yet, it was eerily empty in the front, everyone was just shoving to the back. Staff were super friendly though. There are three women’s washroom stalls and one gender-neutral stall. (Not sure how many for men.) Two girls puking by 10:30pm made things interesting. Good for a younger crowd I suppose, just not my scene.

I am super impressed with the hospitality and attentiveness of this bar. The owner was super kind, attentive and helpful. He was sweet and took time out of a busy night to listen to us. The bartenders were also super friendly and made a 30th birthday memorable. The security guards were also super sweet, kind and helpful as well. Damion in specific was so patient and helpful. I was so appreciative of the way he honoured the policy of the bar and had everyone properly wait in the line. There’s been a lot of issues with people getting into bars in Toronto and I love how the security guards stuck to the policy of the car. Shoutout to the owner again for such an amazing night!

Nice vibe and music. If you decide on going post 11:30pm while other clubs have long queue this one is probably the best choice you can get entry and enjoy as well.

I LOVE this bar ❤️ The staff are fantastic and it really feels like they have a great work culture there. The positive energy is contagious! Keep it up guys

Good place overall! I have my own preference for the dj, it's not everytime the same, but that's super personal. 4stars because I am early 30ies and most of the time, people are way younger there. But good for dancing!

The dj on sat dec 17 couldn’t keep a beat to save his life. A headache and a half. He would remix over drops… hyped the crowd up and then just left everyone hanging with his odd remixes. Repeatedly. My dude. For real?

This used to be midtown in the late 2000s era and the new management/make over still makes this place as good as it was before! Same layout except for a few decorations here and there. I love the fact that it's still free cover and the drinks are still cheaper than the other lounge/club yet still delicious! The music is awesome playing from top 40s, to r&b, to edm, and even old school - my friends and I always have a great time coming here! I'm glad to see that it is up and running again!

I love hanging out at Bangarang. They've got a great selection of games, a cool bar, and the atmosphere is always spot on with the lighting, vibes, and music. The only downside is that they often seem to overbook, packing way too many people into their small space.

Such a fun place. Staff is so sweet. Drinks are super good and just a fun vibe. And the pink lights are so cute. Would 100% recommend!!

We had a company sponsored Christmas event at this location. Nothing fancy, just coming together as a team over a few drinks and some games. The establishment allowed us to bring our own "food" which was delivered to us lime wings and pizza. I am pretty sure that they don't serve any food items here. The selection of beer, wines and cocktails and other options. Some mocktails also available. The lone person working does everything and was super nice, friendly. The three or four games that are available are simple and fun. Even for a person who has not played any of these games they were easy and we had a good time.

Cocktails and corn hole? Don't mind if I do! Corn hole is basically bean bag toss....has there ever been a simpler yet more infuriatingly fun drinking game? Methinks not. This place also has a bunch of random tabletop games for your heightened sipping pleasure. We reserved a corn hole lane for 8pm to guarantee a spot (note: this was done weeks in advance). A few of us showed up a bit early for a couple dranks before the rest arrived and the place was literally empty...but by 9 it was bumping. Music was on POINT...all the best hip hop throwbacks (we unabashedly belted all the lyrics to Beastie Boys' Get It Together). And the vibe was even better when the DJ took the stage. Good cocktails, too. Definitely fun for groups! (Tip: grab late-night Asian snacks afterwards at LoPan across the street)

Last night I visited Bangarang for a friend's birthday. They have a game in the back of the restaurant for guests to play and it was fun. The restaurant serves free non-alcoholic drinks and lets you bring in outside food. I honestly have no idea how they survive to be honest. It was a fun experience but there was gum all over their floor in various places. Why do people spit their gum out where people can step on it? Let's just say I got gummed. Besides the gum issue, this was a cool place for a birthday and the employees were really friendly.

Visited this bar for a fundraising event, so I didn't get a full experience here but I have a few things to say. The drinks are amazing! One of those bars where the bartender puts effort into the creative drink and it has more to it than " it just tastes like vodka or rum." I got a drink that was special for the event called the "bull dog". I don't remember what was in it exactly but I do know there was at least 6 ingredients in the drink including vermouth and gin. I also had the margarita that was featured on their menu. It was a different take on a classic margarita because it tasted smoky and not too sweet. Im pretty sure there was some agave syrup in there that gave it such a nice twist. The drinks are expensive, but you get what you pay for. The other thing I wanted to mention is the games they have to play. The cornhole is enjoyable especially if you're with a group of people. Things can get super competitive. I can imagine it gets packed on a Saturday night. I will be going back to check it out full in action.

This place is funky, serving great drinks and they have games of corn hole. They have nice booths and a cool atmosphere. Come here for a fun night on the town with friends.

9.5/10 - We walked in and they were playing Bryson Tiller so it automatically felt like home. To top it off, I got the Whiskey Mule and it was a 10/10 drink for sure. The Kanye drink was also 10/10. Not a ton of seating but maybe they did that to make us hit the dance floor or play corn hole and then it doesn't even matter. Recommendation: maybe get another fan or two, it got pretty hot in there haha OH the bathroom is cool, too.

Bangrang is a cool new bar in the College/Bathurst area. A friend of mine sang high praises for this place, and after finding out that Bangrang is owned by the same folks that own Track & Field, I was convinced to check it out. Bangarang has a ton of energy. There's a DJ who spins mostly hip-hop and top 40 music. The bartenders really get into the groove too, routinely singing along and dancing alongside the patrons of the bar. The place can get pretty packed in the weekends, but to my knowledge, the place doesn't charge cover and has a reasonably priced coat check. The drink selection is pretty small, especially for a beer drinker like myself, but the house cocktails are excellent. I would definitely recommend the "Old Kanye" to start.

Came in here to celebrate a friend's birthday with a group of around 8 and we had bangin' good time! Thankfully it wasn't packed when we walked in so we got to take our time checking out the space before diving in to all the games they have, and I must say this place looks amazing! Special kudos to the couple of "greenhouses" they've got going in front of the bar and the DJ booth! And yes you read that right, they've got a DJ booth and some really great tunes were played that Friday night. The main focus I see online is that they have cornhole tosses. And while their 2 lanes of cornholes (1 can be rented online for $40/hr) are the main focus, I do need to mention that they have 3? other table games that are as much fun for different groups. Very easy to pick up and play but if you want to dive in to the rules, they've got handy rules in clipboards along with a chalkboard to keep score by one of them. These games felt like something I've seen people compete in on the TV show Survivor. And I also realised I'm not as savvy with my skills as I assumed I'd be. Perhaps that'd be thanks to the few drinks I had in me. Speaking of which, their bar menu is extensive, they don't have a very long list of beers, but they have a great selection and something for everybody. I stuck to their cocktails including their negroni on tap and I loved it all, they sure pack a great "bang" for your buck. Staff were extremely friendly and really fun to chat with as they came over often to make sure we had figured out the games all right and to take our orders. Overall, a successful follow up to 2 bars I already love to visit in Track and Field and Pray Tell. Can't wait to go back here and work on those cornhole toss skills which I'm sure are hidden away somewhere in me.

As a huge fan of Track & Field, I was pretty stoked about this place opening. After visiting, I'll admit I still like T&F more. The basics: comprehensive drink menu 2 cornhole lanes (1 to rent, 1 first come first serve) 3 tabletop games dj booth + dancefloor I was impressed that when walking in at around 8:30pm on a Saturday we were able to try 2 of the tabletop games and play a round of cornhole all by 9:30pm (T&F can have excessive waits when signing up for bocce or shuffleboard). The reason I'm not stoked on this place is at 10pm they literally close the tabletop games up for the night, increasing dancefloor space. The lone tabletop game left that's up near the front, meanwhile was being used more as a drink table than allowing for anyone to actually play the game. So while the games are fun, but the games seem to be a secondary focus here at Bangarang compared to Track & Field. Perhaps this is part of being in the heart of Little Italy where they can aim to be more of a "club", but if I actually showed up here at 10pm and there were no games aside from 1 lane of cornhole to choose from I'd be pretty disappointed. So basically I'll give this place a 4 star based on the premise of showing up before 9pm so there is still gaming time.

Kelly and Shawn are dope! Awesome negronis on tap! Kelly and Shawn got us super greased and were super polite.

Super kind staff/security/bartenders. Really great vibe.

Such a great bar, friendly staff, delicious cocktails and cozy atmosphere. I also once lost my keys during a night while I was there and the staff went out of their way to check and see if I had left them at the bar. Lovely! Would absolutely recommend.

This place is great during the week but can get really busy on weekends. The games are fun. I'd love to see more sour beers, especially on tap. The bartender, Jacob, is an absolute pleasure.
