Description
Vertigo Toronto is a downtown after-hours nightclub located at 66 Gerrard Street East, at the corner of Gerrard and Church. Known for its immersive underground vibe, Vertigo specializes in house and techno music, drawing a loyal crowd of electronic music lovers. The venue features high-end sound and lighting systems that fuel its energetic, late-night atmosphere. It typically opens Friday and Saturday nights from 1:00 AM to around 7:00 AM, making it a prime spot for night owls and after-party seekers in Toronto’s club scene.
Entry usually involves a cover charge of around $20, though women can often enter for free before 11 PM on guest list nights. It’s highly recommended to sign up for the guest list to reduce wait times and cover fees. The club also offers VIP bottle service starting around $1,000 and a coat check for approximately $4. Drinks generally cost between $10 and $12. The dress code is fashion-forward, and the club is known to be selective at the door, aiming to maintain a certain crowd and vibe. Some visitors have noted that the venue can feel intense or overcrowded at peak times, and it's best to come with friends if you're unfamiliar with the environment.
Vertigo regularly hosts special events and themed nights, with notable after-hours sets by international and local DJs. These events sometimes require advance tickets, with prices varying based on the artist and date—general admission usually falls in the $25 to $30 range. The club is accessible via public transit (College Station is nearby), but getting home afterward may require some planning due to its very late closing time. For the best experience, arrive early, dress to impress, bring cash just in case, and check ahead if a booking or ticket is required for a special event.
