 o your memories of the Guv involve glow sticks, various pills of an illegal nature, or a "post-bass bin exposure" ringing in the ears?
Since the rave scene peaked in Toronto, the Guvernment crowd transformed into a scene of Euro-clubbers expecting Ibiza partying standards and suburban out-of-towners looking to live it up for a wild night in the city (because their town has only 300 people and one stoplight).

Oddly enough, this random smattering of patrons did not kill the clubbing establishment, and the Guvernment has stuck around as somewhat of an anomaly; it has retained its stronghold on the club scene, staying consistently popular, night after night, year after year. While a few random rumours about the closure of Guvernment have made their circuit (selling its space to house film studios was the latest), a major $3-million transformation of the space suggests it will be around for a while yet.

I hate the Guvernment. I won't go there, as it gets overpacked, and the staff is inconsiderate to downright rude to the crowd. (bartenders are nice, when they finally get to you.)
The ventilation is horrible, and it's insanely overpriced for what its worth.

I hope anyone who read the above review in order to assess whether or not the GUV is a place worth trying out was not deterred by this author's vulgar words.
I agree with her, that the GUV is a fantastic place; the people there are generally very friendly (including those dressed to impress), which I attribute to the undefinable crowd. You will find patrons between the ages of 19 and 50 (and probably younger and older), and from various ethnicities, professions, tastes, etc.
I have never had to wait more than a couple of minutes for a drink, and, although the lines are generally long, they move very quickly (and i have never seen unwarranted attitude from the bouncers/security at the GUV).
The only drawback has nothing to do with the club, but with Toronto's urban night-life-seeking community. The GUV has been popular for a very long time, and at present it seems that some people think it is just not cool to like the GUV. They opt for the newer, trendier places that cater to a certain crowd, only to realize that the lack of diversity of these other places means that only one type of person will like it there.
The decor at the GUV is great, the lights are great, the events are great, the bathrooms are in good working order (all things considering), coat check is reliable, lines move quickly, no one will feel left out here, and as long as you leave your pretentions at the door, you will find everyone is quite friendly.

I got drunk and had sex with 7 different guys in one night. It was a trippy night. Theres so many rooms i almost got lost, but the people were so nice...they always knew where i wanted to go (the bathroom)
