#8 The Guvernment – Toronto

We don’t always consider Toronto when it comes to the best places in the world to hear the best music, but in our opinion, The Guvernment has changed that stereotype. This 22,000-square-foot nightclub (or shall we say, “entertainment complex”) has been around for over a decade, and has won EYE Magazine’s “Best Dance Club” award twice during its reign. With so much space, this venue draws both DJ talent and décor from all over the world—disco balls and white drapery recall Miami nightclubs, and red-velvet-drenched alcoves filled with hookah smoke summon Moroccan culture. Rather than travel the world in search of the best nightclub, why not let the sounds and sights of the world’s best clubs come to you. The best part about The Guvernment, is that it does not just reel in DJ talent (like Chus + Ceballos who are performing this month); the nightclub also doubles as a concert venue, inviting guests like MGMT, The Black Keys, Miike Snow and Band of Horses to showcase their talent. And that’s why we consider The Guvernment to be one of the best clubs in the world for music.
