Toronto Heliconian Hall
- 35 Hazelton Ave. (at Yorkville Ave.) • View on map »
- 416-922-3618
Built in 1875, the Heliconian is a slice of old-world charm in the heart of Yorkville. Original elements of the Carpenter’s Gothic board-and-batten church have been restored to their former glory: a Victorian rose window above the entrance presides over a majestic oak and brick wood-burning fireplace; the vaulted ceiling with wooden rafters provides stellar acoustics, making the club popular for musical and dramatic presentations. The space—which seats up to 120 for concerts—includes a Steinway grand piano, microphones, a pull-down screen, a podium and stage lighting. An adjacent suite has a finishing kitchen, a bar and French doors that lead to an intimate patio. The Heliconian Hall can’t be booked for weddings.
