About this place Glad Day Bookshop

Glad Day Bookshop — the world's oldest surviving LGBTQ bookstore, founded in 1970 — moved in July 2025 from its long-time Church Street home to 32 Lisgar Street in Queen West. The new space is a bookshop first (the Church-era bar and café service ended with the move), with queer fiction, non-fiction, comics and zines, plus launches and community events. Hours as of October 2026: Wednesday–Friday 15:00–20:00, Saturday–Sunday 12:00–19:00, closed Monday–Tuesday — check gladday.ca before you go.
