    Hello - does anyone remember a popular bar from the early 1970s called "The Domed Stadium" - I believe at the corner of King St. & Jarvis St. - would love to see an old picture or hear any information about when the bar closed, etc. - was there in spring of 1973.

    I know "Anonymous" this was an older comment but I happened to be looking for a picture of "The Domed Stadium" too and came across your question. That bar was a happening place in the early 70's until at least 79= it was owned by Bobby Taylor and Bill Symons of the Argos and it was the party headquarters for the team...and their out of town oppositions on a nightly basis....it was also my regular haunt for the 70's - altho much less after my son was born in 73...we used to party there until 1 - most of the patrons would be told to leave and we would continue partying all night...cripes I can remember going straight to work from there on many a morning.....the last time I was there was the summer of 78 just before I moved out west....Bobby now owns a restaurant/lounge on Queen Street W.....it was a wonderful place

    I went to George Brown College from 1982 to 1985.i drank at the Dome Stadium and smoked weed in the courtyard. I would like find a picture or two also. The building at one time was the tallest in Toronto and has a lookout on the top. I met the band nightforce there.

    I remember the place well, went to George Brown in the early 80's and spent many a day drinking quarts for $1.60. The bathroom was legendary.

    I went to George Brown late 70s to the end of 1980 and this was THE place to go either at lunch hour or after class. It was an amazing place! Man oh man, those quart bottles of Blue!! Happy days✌️
