4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Sad to see the poor reviews in here. Well im new to the city and have always felt comfortable in this bar since arriving. They do a screening at the door so your not bringing in illegal substances/weapons.It does make you feel a bit safer, of course if it ever happens , they have some great door guys to curb that crap.The piano bar is relaxing , fun and full of smiles anytime I ever went.
The music in Cellblock section is incredible, people are whoopin it up and the sweaty boys and girls just love it.
I can only make a small suggestion in regards to amping up a couple theme nights here n there, n bring out the sexy asian guys in the city---- ooopzzz they do tend to be my weakness--if ur reading this MR Doorman, i know yur smilin at me. Lastly Id like to see Zippers improve on a website and focus on more pictures and comments with a listing of events--- Keep it up guys--- lovin it!!!1

2 out of 4 people found this review helpful. I too was cussed out by the back door man. He lied to the staff and told them I was enebriated. Which resulted in being asked to leave. He is GONE now TG.
When I see Greg at the piano, I leave, he can't keep tempo, and his voice is gone. (time to retire). Kendall on the otherhand, is talented, friendly, polite and a joy to be around. He's just a little too loud. Kendall: "Sing along!
' Turn your voice down pls.
U would deffenately recommend this place.
As for being frisked! It helps me feel safe knowing there are no weapons/drugs there.

I recommend this place.

I do not recommend this place.

5 out of 5 people found this review helpful. I love this place, they are extremely supportive of all aspects of gay culture.Drag shows with Toronto's top female impersonators,retro sundays,and they host fundraisers for the not for profit AIDS foundations. The owner and staff are professional and polite.It is always a joy to stop in and feel like one of the family. Zippers gets five stars.

2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Okay what's with the overinflated order barking baboon on the door on weekends?
Is he protecting some of the city's most professional and hospitable bartenders from their well paying customers? No seriously this place has some of the best staff and used to be a daily pitstop on my way home from work. Untill four of us were cussed out and treated like pondscum by this baywatch moron when we to tried re-enter to get our things after our last cigarette of the evening. "Policy!" Three of us have worked in bars and there is a way to enforce the rules firmly but politely without flying off the handle. Our jackets AND the almost four hundred bucks we dropped in two hrs were completely disregarded.
No more stopping here after work for me either. This weekend visit left such a bad taste in my mouth I cant imagine feeling relaxed there after being treated like cattle by a doorman better suited for Richmond Street. Great bar, great staff, great entertainment ...once you're in.

I do not recommend this place.

2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. I am a long timer at zippers been going for years basically because the crowd is fun, relaxed, totally into just having a good time. Although the staff turn around is difficult to keep up wtth. There we're some great security guys there, Greg was supper! friendly,easy going, down to earth and FUN. He truly brougth something to the night club scene. I just loved how he would dress, it just made you feel surprised as you neverknew what he would look like the next time your walked in. And in my personal opinion made the bar feel diverse.I am opening a bar soon in L.A. and Greg if you ever get to see this truly know I will find you one day and ask YOU to work for me.
