Rebel

Rebel is at 11 Polson Street, Toronto, ON M5A 1A4, on Polson Pier in the Port Lands district. It sits on the edge of Lake Ontario, with a view of the downtown skyline. It's not on a subway line and not on the regular streetcar grid — most guests rideshare or drive. Rebel also runs a free shuttle back to Union Station from 1am to 3am for guests.

Rebel is 45,000 square feet with a 3,700 total capacity — roughly four times the size of a typical Toronto club. The concert configuration holds up to 2,950 spectators, and the venue splits into four themed rooms (Main, Noir, Purple, Savage) on Saturday club nights. It's the only true mega-club in the city.

On Saturday club nights, Rebel typically operates at least three of its four rooms: the Main Room (Top 40, hip-hop, R&B and soca on a 65-foot stage), Noir (international house and techno, second floor overlooking the skyline), the Purple Room (hip-hop in the lower level, with resident DJ Scotty Scratch plus OVO and XO guests), and Savage (rotating genre, sometimes ticketed separately).

Rebel runs club nights every Saturday from 10pm to 3am — branded as Revolution Saturdays. The venue is otherwise closed during the week unless there's a ticketed concert. The box office opens 1 hour before doors on event days. Check rebeltoronto.com for the current lineup.

Rebel's standard club-night dress code is fashionable attire. No hats, satchels, man bags, pouches, fanny packs, athletic wear (jerseys, shorts, track pants, baggy clothing) or gang colours and apparel. Dress code can vary by event and is enforced at the discretion of the promoter — concert events sometimes loosen the rules.

On standard Saturday Revolution nights, cover runs roughly $20–$40 depending on time of arrival and event. Ladies on guestlist arriving before 11:30pm typically enter free. For ticketed concerts and headliner events, pricing is per-event ticketed and varies widely — check rebeltoronto.com or the venue's official ticket links.

Rebel bottle service ranges from roughly $500–$1,000 minimums for smaller booths, $1,500–$2,500 for premium and Mezzanine VIP setups, and $3,000+ for the prime Main Room and ticketed-event setups. Mid-range bottles run $300–$500. Bottle service guests skip the cover and the line. Submit the form on this page with your date and group size and we'll confirm options.

Rebel is on Polson Pier, which is not on a subway line. Most guests arrive by rideshare or by driving — parking is available across the street, though exit queues can be long after big events. By transit you can take the 72 Pape bus from Union Station; from downtown a rideshare is usually 10-15 minutes. Rebel offers a free shuttle from the club back to Union Station from 1am to 3am on club nights.

Rebel is 19+ on standard club nights — Ontario's legal drinking age — and government-issued photo ID is required at the door. Specific concerts may enforce different age limits depending on the event.

Rebel occupies the same Polson Pier building that previously operated as the Docks Nightclub (1996) and then Sound Academy. It's not the former Guvernment (that was a different downtown venue, closed in 2015) — but Rebel was built and is operated by INK Entertainment, the same group that ran the Guvernment, and many of the production and bookings legacies carry over.

Yes. Rebel runs a complimentary shuttle from the nightclub to Union Station from 1am to 3am on club nights, for all guests. It's one of the few ways to make late-night Polson Pier exit logistics painless.
