The Painted Lady Review By Jenn C.: Toronto, Ontario

I have lived (and partied) in Toronto for many a year now and this place is my Friday night go-to. Sure it's crowded and the bathrooms are a complete joke but what it lacks in creature comforts it makes up for in personality. This place is just teeming with "personality". The door man is just lovely and has absolutely no attitude about 'capacity' or anything like that. Feel free to chat him up if you're ever stranded outside. The bartenders are the best! I have left my wallet/credit card/entire identity at this bar more than once (I know, I'm so that girl) and have always had it returned with no questions asked. The drink pours are generous and if you are into reggae, this is a great place to dance it up. The tiny dance floor sure is intimate but the DJ and his posse (always hanging around him on-stage) are friendly and like to get people in the crowd going. You can always find a few people who've had that one drink too many and serve as excellent entertainment and not to mention that they have a burlesque dancer on the bar! And not some vegas surreal looking gal, she's a real girl with real hips who knows how to shake 'em! Beware that you can not use debit or credit to pay as it's a cash only type of place. Other than that, go ahead and give it a gander.
