Bar 244

Toronto has over 10 different university and colleges within the GTA. With that come thousands of students on a budget.  Students on a budget need places to let loose and unwind after hectic weeks of lectures and tutorials. Bar 244 is known for two things: being one of Toronto’s best cheap drink and party bar. With drinks ranging from3$-5$ and cover free before 11pm on Friday and 11:30 pm on Saturday (with guest list), Bar 244 offers the best bang for your buck in the city.

Bar 244 is divided into two sections and is located at 244 Adelaide Street West, in Toronto. As soon as you walk into the venue the best idea is to hit the upstairs bar and grab a few shots. The bar becomes crowded quick and has multiple televisions usually showing the latest sports game. It’s a rocking environment that is accompanied by great hip-hop and top 40 geared for students and young adults.

Downstairs is the dance scene, be mindful they only open it up around 11-11:30. If you love great music to dance too and you’re on a tight budget this is good place to check out. It’s also right next to Gracie’s, Cake, and Tequila Jacks. A bar on the right is located to hydrate your needs as you tear it up on the dance floor. One thing to be mindful of is the lower section of Bar 244 has the potential to cram up quite quickly. So come early.  A really big plus is that they offer a reasonably priced bottle service with a secluded platform that won’t have people walking in and out as they circle the venue.

Overall Bar 244 is a young adult student bar that offers exactly what students and young adults want; cheap cover, really cheap drinks, and dancing.
