The club opened in January 1991 with a trio of Toronto nightlife enthusiasts behind it in ownership capacity — Wesley Thuro a.k.a. Happy Dog who had already had some organizational experience with Toronto nightlife establishments having launched the all ages rave club 23 Hop just a few months earlier in 1990,[1] colourful CFNY radio personality Chris Sheppard who in addition to achieving a measure of local fame as the voice of CFNY's weekend live-to-air broadcasts from various Toronto clubs also performed under the 'DJ Dogwhistle' moniker,[1] and Darryl Fine.
Those who have visited the club include band members and film actors, including Bill Murray,[2] Jello Biafra and Bruce LaBruce.[3]
In 2013 the club opened a rooftop patio bar known as the Tiki Bar.[4]
