Great upstairs patio. Don't eat here though, drinks only. The live bands are awesome and bowling is fun.

Chicken and Waffles is one their most popular house bands! @Theballroom is fun and popular live entertainment in King West. Read more

Don't get any of the poutines. The gravy tastes disgusting, and as Canadians, y'all know the gravy breaks or makes the poutine. P.S. WiFi password is "ballroom".

Impressive new bar that will please both gents & gals! Not prenticious (yet) and casual atmosphere. You're lucky if you get a chance to bowl (only 10 lanes) as they take no reservations, but the sp

The veggie burger is delicious! I'm not a vegetarian but I'd eat that burger any day!

The Dude's heaven on earth. The Ballroom is not just a bowling alley. Eat, watch the game and don’t forget to ask about ping-pong.

Friendly staff!! Nice environment but the food wasn't too good.. I had the pulled pork poutine and my friend had the brisket and they were both bad

Cheap flat bread meals and bar rail on Fridays. Fast service.

My pulled pork poutine tasted like tin corn beef, not cool. We didn't get to bowl bc of being told the wrong info from multiple staff. The Manager was *rolls eyes* whatevs... their fries are good tho

Great atmosphere on 2nd floor. But the bartender threw money at me...... That wasnt pleasing at all!

great is the impending opening of the Ballroom, one of few bars where the slogan "we got balls" actually entices you to go. Read more

What a great new venue for Toronto, $75 for an hour of bowling which is expensive but worth while to do something different in downtown Toronto

Go with a lot of friends to bowl with. It make it much more fun
Paul McCombNovember 9, 2013
I agree with Wendy. Wish I had seen the top before ordering the Popcorn Chicken Poutine. It was kinda gross.
Jackie KrovblitMay 1, 2011
The burger I had last night was outstanding! Massive onion rings, yum! Can't wait to try the bowling!

Cool place but don't bother coming here for lunch. Took our group over 2 hours to get our food (half ordered salads or burgers). We got a quick apology from the manager before he disappeared.
Sam SinghMay 12, 2011
The wait times for a bowling lane can be long as this place is usually busy but it's great for groups.

Lot of things to do. Great for groups.

The nachos were freshly baked and amazing!!
John ComarJune 9, 2013
The worst food I've had in a long time. Nice place for drinks, but the "food" is inedible. Soggy chicken wings, curdled mac and cheese, mushy poutine, salt-lick bacon, and 7-11 hot dogs.

Bowling !! Food is ok but slow service in dinning area.! Drink service is good in bowling area!
Ces AhJanuary 8, 2011

CRANK is one of the great bands that plays here.......they rock!

Ok for drinks after work but food service is quite slow so not a good option for a meal if you are heading to a movie.

Only 2 stalls on the lower level (always a line), go upstairs to avoid a 20 min wait.

How about more than one bartender on the first floor bar...or giving the correct change...douchebag...

The fried pickles are great!
Donovan BondNovember 27, 2011
Wouldn't bother eating or drinking here again. Drinks are heavy on ice, light on drink.
Sabah HaddaraMarch 18, 2016
Ridiculously overpriced for no reason, and 3/5 in our group did not enjoy their food.
Anton NguyenFebruary 7, 2013
Avoid the burger! 8 of my buddies got it, and every single one was burnt.

Don't order the fried chicken when they're busy. It will come out undercooked.

You can bowl here!
