Massey Hall
- 178 Victoria St. (at Shuter St.) • View on map »
- 416-593-4822
Built in 1894, Massey Hall is a rich period piece. The main hall is a Victorian fantasy, and there are art deco touches all over the place, left over from the last major reno, in the 1930s. Everyone from Keith Richards to the Mendelssohn Choir to Rush has performed here; pictures of the stars (plus memorabilia) grace the walls of the Centuries Bar and Lounge, a space in the basement that holds up to 250 people, and the Balcony Lounge (up to 60). True, the venue lacks wide open space, but the auditorium holds 2,753 sitting down (with more intimate gatherings of up to 200 held on the stage space) and the historical detail is stunning.
- How much:
- Balcony Lounge $350; Centuries Bar & Lounge $475; auditorium $8,000 (includes both lounges) for non-ticketed events
- Catering:
- choose from five approved caterers; $85–$300 per person
