What is essence?  According to dictionary.com, essence is “the intrinsic or indispensable properties that serve to characterize or identify something.”  It is the also “something that exists, especially a spiritual or incorporeal entity.  Does that seem like something familiar to you?   

It should.  Essence Nightclub in Toronto is located in clubland with the rest of the clubs in Toronto’s entertainment district.  Essence Nightclub in Toronto sits in what use to be the club known as Oxygen…which was the one shaped like an ocean liner.  However, Essence Nightclub in Toronto does seem to have its own essence, or entity, as it sets itself apart by being an entertainment establishment that caters to the urban professional, rather than one that caters to the young club hoppers.  Nonetheless, the casual dress code offers the opportunity for people young and old to find a place to enjoy themselves. 

Essence Nightclub in Toronto has two floors and a rooftop patio, which offers couches and lounge chairs for a place to sit, talk and enjoy the beautiful weather.  Cover for the club is usually $10, although you can sometimes get a discounted price or get in free if you are on the guest list.  Overall, club goers feel that Essence has a good atmosphere and crowd quality.  As for service, bartenders and bounces are a solid eight out of ten, which is pretty impressive.
