Toronto's famed Yonge Street is well-known as a major artery of commerce. Yonge Street--especially on its lower lengths, north of Queen Street and south of Bloor Street--is also well-known as a place where sexual desires can be satisfied. Before moving to the Church and Wellesley area, the gay village with bars like the St. Charles Tavern. Even now, there are still a few sex shops scattered along its length, one classily advertising that it has the "One Night in Paris" video, all with racks and racks of DVDs. And there are the strip clubs.

The Zanzibar Tavern is located at 359 Yonge Street, near the Ryerson University campus curiously enough. (Jokes can be, and have been, made.)

The somewhat hidden Remington's--"Toronto's best all-male entertainment"--visible to the left, is located at 387 Yonge Street, below Dundas Street and just up the street from Zanzibar.


Brass Rail Tavern

The Brass Rail Tavern, located at 701 Yonge Street just below the Yonge/Bloor intersection, is another straight male-oriented strip club. I have heard of one wedding party, though, including people of both genders, being held here. It's somewhat in vogue, I guess.

These three strip clubs and others are reviewed in this June 2006 feature from Toronto Life.
