Our take on Ultraviolet

Editorial review by the TorontoNightclubs.com team.

  • Vibe & music 4.3
  • Door & access 3.9
  • Value 3.6

Best for

  • A hip-hop night without trekking to the King West strip
  • Young, dressed-up groups who want a dance-floor room
  • Rap, R&B and trap fans who like a dark, high-energy vibe

Skip if

  • You want variety — this is a hip-hop-focused room
  • You prefer a big, spacious club — it's small-to-medium and gets tight
  • Strobes and a loud, dark room aren't your thing

Ultraviolet is the Queen West underground hip-hop club that committed to one genre, one vibe, and one weekend schedule. Fridays and Saturdays, hip-hop only, dark room, no cover most nights, no-pretensions energy.

It sits between Apt 200's clubhouse and Mister Wolf's more mainstream room — darker than either, more underground than either, less interested in scene than either. The crowd knows what they're there for, the DJs program for that crowd, and the room runs accordingly.

Bottom line: underground hip-hop Queen West Friday or Saturday — that's the lane. Skip if you wanted scale, scene, or anything dressed-up. This is the dark room with the right music and no one trying to make you spend $400 on a booth.

How to get into Ultraviolet

Practical entry tips for guestlist and walk-up guests.

Best arrival times
  • Guestlist: arrive before 11pm. The earlier window has the shortest line and the best chance of a reduced or free cover.
  • Bottle service: arrive around 10:30–11pm to settle into your booth before the room builds.
  • Walk-up: a line forms as early as 10:30pm on busy nights — the later you arrive, the longer the wait.
Cover & the line
  • Cover generally runs about $15–$20 on a normal club night.
  • Guestlist often gets cover reduced or waived for early arrivals — but it still applies after 11pm, so arrive early to save on entry.
  • Ultraviolet is a small-to-medium room, so it hits capacity quickly on busy nights — once it's full, the line slows right down.
  • Bottle-service guests skip the cover and the line.
Groups & what the door looks for
  • Balanced, well-dressed groups arriving early get through the easiest.
  • Groups of 4–6 are the smoothest size for guestlist.
  • Large all-guy groups should arrive early or consider a booth — late arrival as a big group is the slowest way in.
  • For a bigger group, a bottle-service booth is the most reliable entry on a busy weekend.
ID requirements
  • Valid government photo ID is required — passport, Ontario driver's license, or Canadian provincial photo card.
  • Legal age in Ontario is 19+, and Ultraviolet enforces it with no exceptions on a normal club night.
  • Photocopies, photos of ID, and expired ID aren't accepted.
Dress code, in detail
  • Safe footwear: clean dress shoes or fashion-forward footwear.
  • Avoid: athletic shoes, Timberlands, and anything that reads as gym wear at the door.
  • Outfit: stylish, dressed-up. No baggy clothing, no sportswear or jerseys. Going-out fits, fitted tops, dresses and elevated streetwear all read well.
  • The door is at staff discretion and stricter on busy nights.
Finding the entrance
  • Ultraviolet is on the 2nd floor at 1096 Queen St W, above the Good Son restaurant, at the corner of Queen and Dovercourt.
  • It's a second-floor club — head up to the main floor once you're in.
  • Coat check is available on-site for a small fee, paid after entry.
Insider tips
  • If you're on guestlist, get there before 11pm — that's when cover is most likely reduced or free.
  • The dance floor in front of the DJ booth fills fast — a booth is worth it for a bigger group.
  • It's a hip-hop room — come for rap, R&B and trap, not a Top-40 or house night.
  • The 501 Queen streetcar stops right outside, which makes getting home easy.

About Ultraviolet

Queen West's go-to hip-hop club, one floor up.

Ultraviolet is a hip-hop nightclub on the second floor at 1096 Queen Street West, at the corner of Queen and Dovercourt in West Queen West. It sits above the Good Son restaurant, in a space that previously housed Wayward. The brand's tagline — "feel what you can't see" — sets the tone: a dark room lit by UV blacklights and strobes, with graffiti-lined walls, a long bar, a raised DJ booth, and an open dance floor surrounded by booths.

The music is the core of the room. Ultraviolet programs hip-hop, rap, R&B and trap, with some pop-urban crossover, and the DJ holds the dance floor for the night. It draws a young, dressed-up crowd — roughly 21 to 29, a mix of students and young professionals — and is consistently ranked among Toronto's better club rooms. It's a small-to-medium space, so it builds fast after 11pm and feels strongest after midnight. If you're a bigger group, booking guestlist or a booth ahead is the difference between a smooth arrival and a wait on Queen Street.

What makes Ultraviolet matter is geography. Most of Toronto's hip-hop club scene is concentrated on King West, so a genuinely good hip-hop room on Queen West fills a real gap — and it's popular enough to draw a crowd that rivals the bigger King West rooms. Skip it if you want a spacious club, a varied music format, or a quiet lounge night; the room is compact, hip-hop-focused, and loud by design. The best clubs in Toronto guide has other options.
