Bovine Sex Club, Alternative music venue in Queen Street West, Toronto, Canada

Bovine Sex Club is a one-storey bar on Queen Street West whose facade is an art installation of discarded items. Bicycle frames, wheels, handlebars, gears and chains hang in a tangle along the roof edge, with a coiled spring among them and two silver megaphone horns at the top corners. A large window sits behind a diamond-patterned metal grate, a dark door stands to the right, and a red vertical sign reads "BOVINE SEX CLUB".

The Bovine Sex Club opened in January 1991, founded by Wesley Thuro (Happy Dog), CFNY radio personality Chris Sheppard and Darryl Fine. Thuro had launched the all-ages rave club 23 Hop a few months earlier in 1990. Over the decades the bar has sat at the forefront of Toronto's rock, punk, heavy metal, alternative and rockabilly scenes. In 2013 it added a rooftop patio called the Tiki Bar.

The club's name is often shortened to "the Bovine" by regulars. Its facade was assembled by local artists Dave Grieveson and Great Bob Scott under founder Happy Dog, using only discarded items, so the exterior reads as an ongoing art installation rather than signage.

The venue has a main concert area, several bars, and a rooftop tiki patio that offer different spaces to explore. Visitors should be ready to move through different levels, as each area has its own character.

The tangled metal on the roof edge — bicycle frames, wheels, handlebars, gears and a coiled spring — was assembled by local artists Dave Grieveson and Great Bob Scott, drummer of The Look People, working under founder Wesley Thuro (Happy Dog). Exterior and interior were built as an art installation made solely from discarded items.
