About the venue
Rivoli is a Queen Street West venue with a history of welcoming guests and entertainers since 1982. Its live-event programme brings performances into a downtown setting shaped by music, culture and social life. The back-room performance space gives visitors a distinct destination within the venue, while the individual event page identifies the artist and programme. Dining, live events and leisure occupy separate parts of the building, giving the address a layered social life and allowing a performance to be one part of a wider visit.
The building brings different forms of hospitality and entertainment together: a restaurant occupies the front of the first floor, the event room sits behind it, and a pool-hall setting is upstairs. That arrangement gives Rivoli a social identity beyond the stage while keeping a distinct room for performances. For audiences, the Queen Street address connects the live programme with an established downtown gathering place, where a show can form part of a broader evening out.
