Birdhaus

Birdhaus uses the tagline “Toronto's Exclusive Events Venue For The Alt Community.” It lists its address as 1233R Queen Street West, and its About page says the venue has a 100-year history and has been “transformed into an intimate space for the city’s avant-garde.” According to the site, it launched in the Entertainment District, moved to a larger space in Liberty Village, and added a larger space just off Queen Street in 2024 along with a cocktail program. The club's rope education page describes a shibari program it calls “inclusive. Creative. Comprehensive.” The calendar includes Tinker Tuesday, a practice night where no specific skills are taught, classes such as Zero to Suspension, and Your First Rope Class paired with a Rope Singles Mixer and Social Jam. Other events include Parenting and Sexual Wellness and a bi-monthly social for people who practice or are curious about modern witchcraft and paganism, which lists a signature cocktail bar upstairs and a reflection space downstairs. All events are 19+ for entry, and tickets are bought per event through the site's event pages. The first rope class needs no prior knowledge or partner, and loaner rope is available. The witchcraft social, for instance, says respectful conduct is “expected and mandatory” and that it is not a kink event.
