HISTORY

Absolutely fantastic venue to see a concert live and intimate. I love the small setting and the sound system. Hopefully more Reggae artists will perform there. There are a couple bars no long waiting in line and a huge washroom 👍🏼

Dope Lemon June 8, 2025 5+⭐- Band 5+⭐- for Venue itself. Great view of stage/band no matter where you are standing 1⭐- for the fact that Drinks are WAY overpriced. (2 shots Jameson 2 cans corona and couple bucks for tip $70) 🤬

The Dylan Scott concert was amazing on Saturday. He is one of the most underrated performers in country music. Let's keep it that way so we can afford good tickets! Blew the Jelly Roll concert in Ottawa out of the water easily for at least 1/4 of the price. Great small venue for concerts as well.

Good spot for a concert. There is a Harvey’s and a coffee shop nearby in case you need a quick bite to eat or washroom break. There are independent paid parking lots behind venue. You can find decent parking rates using parking apps.

THIS IS THE BEST VENUE! I have gone here at least 50 times over the last year. Their premium seats are worth every cent and are amazing! I had 1 issue and their customer service solved it so fast. I said something on the Friday and when back Monday it was solved!!! They were so helpful, polite, and detailed I was in awe. Thank-you for being a great venue with fantastic acts.

This venue offers an incredible atmosphere for concert-goers! With great views from every spot, plus convenient amenities like a coat check, smoking area, and multiple bars, I can't wait to return for another unforgettable experience!

If you have a band to see this place might be for you! I was pleasantly surprised the venue was much nicer than I expected. Comfortable, friendly staff.

Came here last night for OMD and had such a great night..but wanted to post about the amazing staff last night. We came with an injured friend that is temporarily in wheelchair...and the staff went so out of the way to get us to our seats safely..and also made sure we were settled in comfortably. Shout out to Bella who was so friendly and attentive

Really liked this concert venue. It's the perfect size and had a lot of bathrooms and bartenders.

This is honestly my favourite venue. Bars are fully serviced so no long lines, washrooms are nice and CLEAN, staff are friendly but firm. Food is ... OK, don't buy the water like I did! Tap is free. Usually I hate paying for GA - I like having reserved seating/areas to guarantee my view for a show, but here, you really can't go wrong (unless you're like me suffering from short height faced with tall people right in front. Sad.) There's I think 3 levels of GA: a pit, an area by the bar and washrooms, and 2nd floor. There's also some reserved seating in scattered sections, but unless you really NEED a seat, GA is your bestie. Also, the reserved seating tends to be in the very back because of how the venue is designed. The worst part for me is location. It's right by woodbine beach park. It feels so hard to get to since I'm from the opposite end of the city. Technically, there's a bus route you can take to/from Coxwell station, but I came here once during rush hour and the streets only have 2 lanes and 1 of those lanes is shared with the streetcar...so...hope there can be new ones built literally anywhere else!

A very cool venue with lots of space and good service. The lines aren't extremely long and it's very clean. I would suggest if you don't like crowds to get a table on the top floor. Great views and you have a waitress.

Ambience was really cool! Staff was also very friendly! Had hurt my leg earlier in the day and was offered a place to sit to enjoy the rest of the show I was at, if you have a favorite band performing here you should check this place out

This is a great addition to Toronto venue-wise. I've been here for both a big band concert and and EDM event. Acoustics were decent for both. The entire space is massive, their capacity limit is underwhelming for the size of the venue - which is a good thing is you like to have some personal room. They do have metal detectors and pretty aggressive security. FYI one of my girl friends was a little taken aback, but I think it's probably a good thing. Bathrooms are clean, and water is free. Huge bonuses! Wouldn't hesitate to go to a show here.

the night we went, the security and staff were INCREDIBLY NICE. btw, they let you store backpacks at the harvey's nextdoor, and then let you right back in line. really great venue.

A good size concert venue with decent acoustics. There's a raised area near the back that gives good sightlines to the stage. Line ups to get in can be long as they make you go through metal detectors and show ID, but once in the place is clean. Even the bathrooms had attendants keeping it tidy. There's a good range of beers, wines and spirts, although like so many venues nowadays they are way over-priced. Two drinks, a can of beer and a glass of wine cost over $33!

Quickly becoming one of my favourite music venues in the city. It's a big space without feeling too large or crowded. Easy to get a good view of the band and the acoustics are great. The beer is overpriced but that's par for the course for music venues. There's free street parking in the area which is such a plus. Not a venue for sitting, but if you're happy to stand for a show it's a lovely experience.

I honestly really like this venue. This was my first time attending an event at History. What impressed me the most was how well thought out the space is, how everything makes sense and is quite convenient. The space itself allows for a great experience all around from the acoustics, viewing the stage and yes even dancing. Standing is fine too but there is space enough to dance and not trouble others who may not want to. Almost even better is entering and exiting are quick and nearly hassle free. Please note I attended a capacity show and in no way does this reflect a lack of crowd this is a well planned layout. I thought the event staff were great and really went out of their way to help people make the most of their nights out. The bar is very accessible and keeps up with the demand easily not to mention that it's well stocked. As impressive as History appears from the outside so is the experience you will receive here. Looking forward to the next show I'll be attending there.

Honestly, the venue is amazing. It fits a ton of people and the SOUND is incredible. The only issue is the PARKING LOT. It took us an HOUR to get out of the Lizzy McAlpine concert... unacceptable. ALSO the stamp for 19+ is humungous and ugly. Good luck getting it off for the next work day.

This was my first visit to this venue, and it is beautiful! Very convenient layout, and not a bad view in the the house! Bars surround the area raised from the GA area, and plentiful staff made the alcohol acquisition quick and simple. I was NOT expecting $70+ dollars for 4 top shelf gin and tonics ($90+ with tip.), but I digress... This place has A LOT of security/ushers, and we felt very safe in the 3,800 person crowd. Sound was fantastic. It is obvious that a lot of thought went into planning Drake's venue.

Very nice, civilized legit live music venue. Good service at the bars and seated areas.
