About this place Crews & Tangos

Crews & Tangos at 508 Church Street is one of the defining bars of Toronto's Church-Wellesley Village, occupying a multi-floor space at the heart of the strip and known above all for its drag programming. The drag shows at Crews & Tangos are a Toronto institution: nightly performances by a roster of local and visiting queens that span comedy, lip-sync, and live vocals, with a crowd that ranges from first-timers to long-time regulars who know every performer by name. The venue operates across multiple floors, each with its own character — the main floor bar, the upstairs performance space, and areas that shift in purpose depending on the night. Church Street's proximity means that Crews & Tangos is easy to incorporate into a broader Village evening; it is the kind of bar that people drift in and out of multiple times over the course of a night. During Toronto Pride weekend, Crews & Tangos is one of the Village's most energetic locations — the drag shows run back to back and the street outside is part of the extended party.

I would give this place 0 stars if I could. The service from security was absolutely terrible. My friend and I stepped outside and then tried to come back in, but security refused to let us re-enter. The reason they gave made no sense, and when we asked for an explanation, they couldn’t provide one. It felt completely arbitrary and based on judgment rather than any actual policy. The only positive experience was the bartender, who was fantastic. She was friendly, professional, and provided great service—I even tipped her $20 on a single drink because she deserved it. Unfortunately, great bartending couldn’t make up for the way security treated us. Until management addresses the unprofessional and inconsistent behavior of the security staff, I can’t recommend this place.

We always have so much fun here, vibes are wonderful and security really does their job well. Got to give a special shoutout to the bartender named Angelica, really made our experience even better.

Back in my college years this was the place to go after electric circus. So much has changed since the early 2000'S .

I was very disappointed with my experience last night. I've been coming to this club on Saturday nights for a long time, and it's always been one of my favorite places. I had friends already inside waiting for me, but the security guard refused to let me enter. I politely asked why I wasn't being allowed in, and the only answer I received was, "I just don't want you to go inside." No other explanation was given. I was respectful the entire time, and there was no valid reason for denying me entry. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect and given a clear explanation if they are refused entry. This experience left me feeling embarrassed, frustrated, and unfairly treated. I hope management looks into how their security staff interact with customers, because one employee's behavior can ruin what has always been a great place to visit.
