Mod Club

Toronto


This excellent Little Italy venue showcases alt-rock acts like The Killers and Muse. If you want to flaunt your hip-hop rhymes, look out for 'trap karaoke.' On other nights, DJs play electronic, indie and Brit pop to a packed dance floor. Up-to-the-nanosecond lighting gives way to candlelit chill-out rooms.
