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.
