Rebel

Rebel is a large waterfront nightclub at 11 Polson Street in Toronto's Port Lands, in Ontario, Canada. It sits on the eastern waterfront, away from the downtown clubs, and is known for big-room dance events. The crowd is mainly adults, typically in their twenties and thirties, and the age minimum follows Ontario rules for licensed venues, which is 19. Dress is generally stylish, with sportswear and very casual clothing often discouraged at large clubs, so visitors should check the dress guidance for each event. The atmosphere is that of a high-energy, large-capacity dance club, with powerful sound, lighting and a packed dance floor at peak hours. The programme centres on EDM and big-room DJ nights, which is the listed specialty, with events scheduled through the week and often featuring touring DJs; visitors should check the venue's listings. The drinks programme follows a club format, with cocktails, spirits and beer, and bottle service is a common feature in this type of venue, so visitors planning a table should enquire directly. Hours are evenings, and Ontario's last call is 2:00 AM; the exact opening days and times depend on the event. Cover varies by event, and tickets for larger events are often bought in advance. Prices are at the upper end, shown as $$$. Because the Port Lands location is some distance from downtown, most visitors use taxis or ride-hailing, with some transit options along Cherry Street and Lake Shore Boulevard East, and should plan the trip home in advance. Lines can form at peak times at larger events, so advance tickets or guest-list entry can save waiting time.
