Find us at 1115 Queen St W. on the corner of Queen and Lisgar. There’s street parking in the area and bike racks on the eastside of the building. If you’re travelling by TTC, take the 501 Queen streetcar to Abell St or Dovercourt Rd. When you get here, enter through the side doors on Lisgar St.
We’re part of The Theatre Centre, but we are also our own thing. A workspace, a coffee shop, a bar, a performance space, a gathering place. Coffee, cocktails, delicious treats, and free wifi—spend an hour or the whole day. This place is for you.
