Lee's Palace, Music venue in The Annex, Toronto, Canada
Lee's Palace is a two-level music venue with the main concert space on the ground floor and the Dance Cave nightclub situated upstairs. The venue accommodates between 450 and 600 people and hosts live bands, DJs, and other performers throughout the week.
The building originally opened in 1920 as Allen's Bloor Theatre, showing silent films to audiences. After passing through several different uses, it reopened in September 1985 as Lee's Palace and became a major live music destination.
The venue has become a gathering place for independent music fans and supporters of local talent. Performers from Toronto regularly take the stage here, building connections with audiences who value raw, live musical experiences.
The venue sits on Bloor Street West, a main thoroughfare with easy access via public transportation. Most events require guests to be 19 years or older, so bring valid identification when you visit.
The building's exterior wall displays a large mural of cartoon characters and creatures that has become a recognizable landmark. This colorful artwork catches the eye of passersby and draws interest from people exploring the neighborhood.
