Ever in a situation where you don't have a class on Thursday, or someone's birthday awkwardly falls on a Wednesday and not sure where to go? Well wayback wednesdays might just be the perfect option for you. The weekly event most recently moved from Gravity Soundbar to Bloke and 4th, which is located near the major intersection of King and Spadina. Bloke and 4th can seat up to 90 guests comfortably, and gives a sophisticated and high class vibe to the lounge. It could be used for intimate meetings or dinners, and throughout the night the venue slowly transforms into a dance floor. Although Bloke recently took over the role of hosting waybacks in Toronto, the venue fits the criteria perfectly. With DJ Delerious the IceMan and Tony Monaco live to air from Toronto's hit radio station Z103.5, it is a night worth having if you prefer classier venues, as well as a older genre of music. Although the Dj primarily played throwbacks, as the night progressed some top 40 hits were a part of the mix. I would like to mention that it was my first time visiting this venue in the dead of winter, and I can imagine it would be much more pleasurable of an experience in the summer, as most things are. So holding off might not be a bad idea, but it is certainly a night you want to experience in Toronto at some point during your stay. The crowd appeared to be ranging from primarily mid twenties to forty years of age, some students but dominantly those with a working status. Below I have enclosed some pictures and a video to give a visual and hearing aspect of the venue.
The picture on the left above this paragraph does an effective job at portraying the neatness of the club and the sophisticated environment that it upholds with the layout of the goose bottles. Even the picture on the right shows the flooring tile to be a higher end along with the uniform of the person in the bathroom, once again emitting the more luxurious feel. One of the most important things when in business is to be continuously networking, and seeing how I'm in the marketing program at my school I always keep this in mind when I am going out in Toronto. Below I have enclosed a picture of a photographer that I was happy to connect with, as he is knowledgable of various events in Toronto that I am curious about. Was able to kill two birds with one stone, making a new connection, and having a great night at an event I had never been to.
Below is a short video to give a visual idea of the venue on this night.
Overall I had a great time at wayback wednesdays and would recommend it for an event to go to in the summer, or if you have some time off or available mid week.
