Planning guide
Bachelorette party in Toronto
A bachelorette night in Toronto works best on one strip with one plan: a reserved table at a King West room so the group has a home base, dinner nearby, and either a hosted crawl or two more rooms within a few minutes' walk. Book the table a week or more ahead for a Saturday, expect a $600 to $2,000 minimum plus service, and get everyone to the door before 11:30 p.m. when guest lists close and lines build.
1. Home base
Reserve a table at 44 Toronto, Isabelle's or Century. Ask for the minimum in writing and confirm the arrival time; most rooms release tables held past 11.
2. Dinner first
Eat on King West or at The Well so nobody is in a cab between dinner and the door. National and Aera Lounge both do dinner that turns into a late night.
3. Move once, together
Either a hosted crawl with cover handled across the route, or a rooftop (Lavelle) then the club below it (44). Avoid plans with three cabs.

Questions
Which Toronto clubs are best for a bachelorette party?
Rooms that take table bookings and sit on a walkable strip: 44 Toronto, Lavelle (rooftop, same building), Isabelle's and Century on King West; Story and The Fifth Social Club in the Entertainment District; National or Aera Lounge at The Well for a dressier start. Rebel if the night is about a headliner.
How much should we budget for a table?
Bar tables from about $600 at 44 Toronto, standard booths $1,000 to $2,000 at Isabelle's and the big King West rooms, premium booths $3,000 and up, plus 18 to 22 percent service and HST. Split across ten, a $1,500 minimum is about $190 each before drinks.
Do we need a table, or will the guest list do?
For a group of eight or more on a Friday or Saturday, book a table. Guest lists waive cover before a cutoff but do not guarantee entry, and the big rooms prioritize table reservations at the door.
What about a club crawl?
A hosted crawl is the easiest way to keep a group together across three or four rooms with cover handled once. Check the crawl page for upcoming dates.
What is the dress code?
Upscale: no athletic wear, shorts, hats or baggy clothing, and clean footwear. Sashes and matching outfits are fine; props and costumes are at the door's discretion.
