  • LeVack Block

    Review by Bryen Dunn
    Uptown meets downtown in the slick space that is destined to be the new “it spot” on the suddenly vibrant Queen & Ossington hub. LeVack Block, meticulously designed with remnants of a 1920’s bank (imported from Buffalo, NY?), has just the right mix of rawness and clarity to give it a comfortable, fresh vibe.

    Owners Adam Baguley and Amber Honor Elson prefer to stay low key in terms of promotion. They are hoping for a more neighbourhood, word-of-mouth type of draw. While both Baguley and Elson are new to the restaurant/bar ownership scene, Baguley’s property management background and Elson’s interior design expertise are sure to take this venue in interesting directions.

    “Our focus,” says Baguley, “is to be non-genre specific with artists, and feature an eclectic mix of musical talent, both live performances and DJ’s.”

    Make no mistake, their designer fingerprints are all over the place; the front bar area comes equipped with high ceilings, big front windows and a good sense of airiness. Walls are lined with photographs from local artists, tables are nicely spaced for making your way around, and the bar stools are of-the-moment metal. Make your way to the back room, and guest DJs set up shop to throw down - what else? - hip-hop and classics. This room will be used for many events as the 100 capacity space will be used for upcoming new promoters and corporate events. There are a total of fourteen (count ‘em) washroom cubicles between the two bar areas to keep things comfortable.

    Treated terribly by the booking agent there. They double booked and then proceeded to cancel our event (a wedding reception!) at a months notice. I'll never give them any business again.

    This place is awesome! It is gorgeous, fun and anything you could ever ask for. The front is so beautiful and the back has amazing music and lots of dancefloor. Finally Toronto has a place to party and it doesn't rhyme with 'Jake'!
