The Docks Waterfront Entertainment Complex
(known informally simply as The Docks
) is a multi-purpose entertainment venue in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located in largely industrial Port Lands area of the city along the shore of Toronto Harbour.
The Docks Concert Theatre is a concert hall/nightclub with a capacity of 3,230 occupants over 13,240 square feet of floor space. However, the long and narrow room configuration reduces sound quality and sightliness, making it one of the less popular music venues in Toronto.
The site is also home to an extensive amusement area, with facilities for go karts, rock climbing, mini golf, paintball, and beach volleyball.
The Lakeview Drive-In is also located on-site, and it is the only drive-in movie theatre in downtown Toronto. Open on summer weekends, the drive-in can accommodate up to 1200 people and 500 vehicles.
On July 24, 2006 the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario revoked the Docks' liquor licence. This was the culmination of a 10 year long dispute with the Toronto Islands' residents regarding excessive noise. [1] On July 28, 2006 the Ontario Court of Appeal judge granted a stay, pending an appeal to be heard next January. [2]
