Mahjong is hidden behind a pink storefront on Dundas West. The 2,000-square-foot room looks good, serves food and regularly books DJs.

It is not a guaranteed dance club. The energy changes with the booking and the crowd. Its strength is flexibility. You can start with drinks and stay if people begin moving.

Pros

  • Good for a group with mixed commitment to dancing.
  • Central Dundas West location.
  • Strong visual setting and proper cocktails.

Cons

  • The dance floor is not always the focus.
  • It closes at 2 a.m.
  • A cocktail-led night can get expensive.

Our take: Check the DJ, then use Mahjong as an easy all-in-one plan.
