Venue edit

The bar was located in the basement of the Prince Carlton Hotel on the north-west corner of Allan Gardens, on Carlton Street at Jarvis Street.[3] The room was a restaurant prior to 1961, when it became a jazz venue.[4]

Starting in the late 1970s, the venue was booked by the "Two Garys", Gary Topp and Gary Cormier, who also booked bands to "The Edge" venue and to the Horseshoe Tavern. The bar had a dirty, un-clean reputation[3][1] although bands reputedly loved to play there.[3]

The bar closed in the summer of 1986, but the hotel remained open and was the site of several robberies and sexual assaults.[5][6][7] In September 1986, the hotel was raided by the Toronto Police. The police arrested 26 persons and seized thousands of dollars of stolen goods and drugs.[8] The hotel was sold in 1988 and closed. It was boarded up and left vacant, sometimes used by squatters and vagrants. On October 16, 1991, a three-alarm fire destroyed much of the hotel.[9] The City of Toronto government bought it in 1990 to increase the size of Allan Gardens park.[10] The location is now the off-leash dog area of the park.
