Finding this venue
Buddies in Bad Times is on Alexander Street, just east of Yonge Street. There is some street parking on Alexander, and parking lots within walking distance.
Buddies is fully accessible to audience members. The main entrance is along the east side of the building, accessed by a ramp for all patrons. Once inside the building, the Chamber is located to the right, and the Cabaret space is located to the left. The washrooms are not separated by gender, and are located on the lower level, which can be reached by a lift. The lift requires an attendant due to the manual door function and the need for a key to use.
A venue guide will be available on this page soon.
