Underground Energy
Above + Beyond

Drake Underground isn’t just a live music venue—it’s a cornerstone of Toronto’s art+ culture scene. Tucked beneath The Drake Hotel, this storied space has been fueling the city’s creative pulse for over two decades. It’s where hometown heroes get their start, global acts drop in unannounced, and boundary-pushing artists of all kinds come to connect with an always-up-for-it crowd. From DJs and indie bands to comedians, poets, and filmmakers, the Underground keeps the energy high and the nights unforgettable. The sound? Crystal clear. The lighting? Always on point. The vibe? 100% Drake. Whether you're discovering your next obsession or dancing to a longtime favourite, this is where Toronto’s music scene truly comes alive.
