In the former Toybox space, a new hotspot has risen from the ashes, just steps from King Street. DPRTMNT, the latest opening from INK Entertainment, boasts a European-feeling club space that doubles as a perfect spot to take in a DJ set. Complete with unique decorations, constant entertainment in the form of light shows and dancers, and more, DPRTMNT is the place to be this summer and beyond.
A look inside DPRTMNT
Located at 473 Adelaide Street West, the live music venue and club is just steps from the lively King Street West, and celebrated DJs take the gigantic, guest-friendly stage, while booths line the walls and bottle service includes both basic and premium options for spirits like vodka, tequila and champagne, among others. The massive bar in the main room makes it easy for patrons to order drinks, while the neon accents and moody lighting make it similar to a club in Ibiza or another European party city.
INK Entertainment‘s latest opening strays from the brand’s recent pattern of opening Instagram-worthy experiences, instead offering a nightlife experience in a 14,000-square-foot nocturnal oasis. DPRTMNT spans two floors, both of which offer state-of-the-art lighting production and a flurry of entertainment options and crisp, clear sound that ensure guests are getting the most out of their experience.

Themes inside the space vary and match the vibe of the performance, and an upscale dress code is encouraged – no sports memorabilia or shorts should be worn inside the space. DJ giant Steve Aoki has already graced the space, as has Nicky Romero, Maddix, and Tita Lau, which is especially true considering the new-look club has only been open since the end of May.
A pro tip: purchase tickets online ahead of the events to secure a spot, as things get spicy quickly – after all, DPRTMNT has a lot to offer.
