The Piston

Dance clubs have been evolving in Toronto since the 2000s and The Piston is a prime example of that. On the trendy Ossington strip, The Piston straddles the line between bar and nightclub and does it well. The back of the bar is set up for 100 people to dance their faces off, with live music and DJs every single night of the week until 2am. It may be smaller than a lot of other places we would put under the dance club umbrella. However, it has a snazziness to it that we couldn't ignore. With lush curtains offset with leather booths, this is the kind of place you come to dance with the friends who want to kick back and don't require VIP bottle service.
