Massey Hall
Massey Hall in Downtown Toronto is an official heritage building that continues to host popular entertainers and shows
Massey Hall is a beautiful, historic 2752 seat concert hall in the heart of Toronto that is also a designated heritage building under the Ontario Heritage Act. The Hall was home to the Toronto Symphony Orchestra as well as the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir prior to the opening of the Roy Thomson Hall in 1982.
Massey Hall was built in 1894 for a cost of just over $150,000. At that time it seated up to 3500 guests, however renovations during the 1940s reduced the capacity to the current 2752. The hall has had many famous dignitaries pass through its doors over the years and it has hosted performances by many famous artists.
Massey Hall continues to be a popular venue for many concerts and shows. For additional information about Massey Hall and upcoming concerts and events see the official website link above.

Amazing acoustics. Cool lounge. The only thing is the seats on the upper level have very limited leg room to the point that it's uncomfortable. Even painful. I've sat everywhere there is to sit at the venue. This was the only time it was an issue.

One of my favorite venues to hear live music. A big pain that all the washrooms are in the basement. It creates a log jam in the front hallway. I did notice that there were signs in the washroom though talking about the renovations coming for 2020 which include bathrooms on every level. Other then that it was great.

Cool venue just the seats on the upper levels are way too close, badly any leg room. I'm 5 foot 10 inches and my knees were against the back of the seat in front of me. Luckily the people beside us moved over so I could have turned too the side for more room. We also had to jump over our own seeds in order to get into them since the rows were so tight there was no way we could have walked up through the row when it was filled with other people. The hall was great in all its other aspects and we had a clear view of the stage even though we were in the upper gallery.
