Overview:

Known as both a friendly neighborhood pub and cutting edge music bar, Lee’s Palace also plays host to a large number of University of Toronto students who live in the area. Thus, the crowd is somewhat younger here and the music often has a slightly punk feel to it, but this is also the place to discover musical trends of the future. Older patrons may never have heard the names of groups who play Lee’s Palace, or care, for that matter, but the student-filled crowd speaks of them knowledgably.
