About
Welcome to The Lodge, a quintessential stop on any queer traveler's Toronto gay map. Perched comfortably above O’Grady’s in the heart of the legendary Church-Wellesley Village, The Lodge offers a cozy, rustic retreat for LGBTQ+ locals and visitors alike.

Whether you’re looking to catch an unforgettable drag show featuring local icons like Jordana Myles, join a packed RuPaul’s Drag Race viewing party, or simply enjoy after-dinner drinks on one of the village's best patios, The Lodge delivers a vibe that is both chill and electric. The menu features mouth-watering comfort food and specialty cocktails served by some of the friendliest bartenders in Toronto. From singles mixers and speed dating to late-night laughs, The Lodge is more than just a bar; it’s a community hub where everyone is invited to let their hair down. Add it to your itinerary for an authentic taste of Canada’s most vibrant queer scene.
