Flash on Church

(21 Ratings)
Dancing and mayhem rule

Flash is now open to all. Its men-only space, called Cock Bar, has male strippers and play areas. Flash on Church hosts various parties, including karaoke, Latin Pop nights, drag bingo and more. 

They also have a monthly men-only Leather Fetish party called Leather Lives Social where people are allowed to play in public.

On Fridays, Flash hosts an open stage for baby drag queens hosted by two veteran queens. Every Monday night, there is a long-standing party called FML which features high-profile spotlight drag performances and rotating DJs.

During Covid, Flash reinvented itself as a general purpose venue. They are now open to all. They added a pile of video screens, upgraded their sound and light system, and made a pile of general renovations. It is a clean large bar offers music videos, Drag race viewing parties, Drag shows, Dance parties and special events. They also give back by offering their space for fund-raisers and conducting charity bingo every week. It's right in the centre of Toronto's Church-Wellesley Village, so once you're there, you can visit several of the bars. Saturday Latin parties are their premiere event followed by the FML party every Monday night (yeah, Monday). Staff are friendly with 2 bars to serve you. Dancing on the stage is allowed, but don't climb the stripper pole or you may be asked to leave.

I'm looking forward to coming back!

Had a great time here over Pride. As a transman I was a little worried about going in but the door person told me that if my ID showed "M" that I was welcome in the club. If my ID showed "F" then I could come to the club on Monday nights or visit the Dance Party happening upstairs. Since I had already gone thru the hassle with the government of changing my ID I was all set to enjoy the show! The bar is really nice inside. Chandeliers and wood paneling. The purple paint is a little strange but you have to paint it something I guess. The guys were really polite and nice. I was shy about going for a dance but no one pressured me to. When I did finally go back for a dance it was nice. I did tell the guy I was trans and he was cool about it. It was a good time. It was $20 a song which I was ok with. I had been to the other strip place on Yonge and the guy there wanted $200 for five minutes which I thought was high. I stayed after my dances because I enjoyed the vibe. The queen on the mic was hilarious and quite nice to talk to in between her introducing the dancers. I was afraid that she would single me out and mock me (this happened across the road one night at another bar and I was pissed about it) but she was super chill with just the right amount of sarcasm. I did see a few other transfolk in the bar but I think I was the only FTM that night. I'm looking forward to coming back!

Bad Dancers at Flash.!

Went back to Flash.! It's a shame and now the dancers are overweight. I am in better shape than they are. Was at the place on May 11, 2017. When I left going out the door I said guess you don't want my money. Won't ever go back again. Good luck.

Never Again

Spent over $150.00 in drinks and a lot more on private dance. What really upset me was the Owner and Staff kept taking my unfinished drinks and dumping them. Then the owner walks up and gives me the signal to buy drinks or leave. Truly tasteless, Last time I go to that bar. Also, there is a man that is there every day playing video games and walks around as if he owns the joint. The scary thing is that he looks like death.

Trashy strippers

First of all this is a strip joint, so I dont expect high standards. <br><br> If you are out on the town and want to go for a campy night out, this may be fun place to go for a few laughs, but as a lot, the dancers are kinda trashy. I do like strip clubs, but I would expect some hot beef when I go. It is sad that this place does not have any ( well they did not have any hot beef during Pride, when you would think your "A" team would be out ). It is not like Campus in Montreal or BJ's in Atlanta.
