This is a good venue for events as it's a large space when it's fully opened up. In most situations it's only the main area that's used so it does feel a bit cramped. They also still require the vaccine passport so make sure to have that available before you arrive, otherwise you'll end up being turned away. Masks are also required in certain areas of the venue.

First time seeing a play at Buddies and it was great. The staff were amazing and the small, but well stocked bar was a pleasant surprise. Decent prices as well.

I have been to this place already 3x and all of them the experience wasn't great. I didn't like the music at all in every time I was there and when you need to get a drink you have usually 2 or 3 people there to serve you, which means you will wait at least 30 minutes in line if the house is full. If you want to dance there are much much better options out there. Oh, the cover is $15 after 11pm or $10 before it but people usually get there at 12am. So, don't get there before 11:30pm otherwise you will be almost the only person there. And DO NOT forget your proof of vaccine for COVID. Yes, they still asking for it until this day (my last visit there was on Feb 25, 2023).

Oh, for the good old days…. Sissy on Saturday night, being on Betty’s guest list, volunteering etc. All gone but the building still stands. Now, is Bad Times.

Not my scene normally. One of the best nights I've ever had. Blast from start to finish. Amazing crowd. Would definitely do again.

What an inclusive and wonderful place! I had the honour of attending an incredible drag show hosted here, and just as great as my time was during the show, it was equally thanks to the welcoming, inviting, and open establishment it was held in! Thank you for being so great!

After the Club Q shootings in The USA, I appreciate our safe Queer spaces in Canada. Buddies gives us quality theatre, performance art & entertainment for diverse Queer audiences and I appreciate it more than ever after 4 decades. It is such an important community hub.

The center of the woke theatre scene in Canada, you likely will hear sentences like Is they coming?" and learn how to speak correctly as the M.C.s and performers will tell you how to do so.Current plays and performers highlight wokeness through the lens of queer theory with a strong focus on the exploration of the the hundred of kinds of sexualities discovered by queer theorists ((LBGT2QIA++++++) and their traumatic identity stories."
