Once upon a time I would have told everyone I knew to go to this place. Not anymore.After waiting in the coat check line for over 30 minutes, we were told its full. After already paying cover and buying drinks while waiting. My friends and I were forced to try and hide our jackets. Mine was quickly stolen - along with a very important medical device. Guess I shouldnt put that much faith in people...After calmly approaching security - who referred me to a manager I was told they would not assist with security footage. Not we cant, but we wont. We are not liable - aka we just dont care.A msg to stages management: The LEAST you could do would be to not immediately brush me aside when I mention a life-saving medical device was stolen. Time to go to a club not owned by this guy.

Like all three girls in this photo are underage and know them personally, I am almost 19 and wanted to come to stages for my birthday, I will not be doing so since my sisters 15 year old friends hang out there too apparently. Either you don’t ID, don’t care enough to check even slightly if it’s a fake or genuinely enjoy having minors in your establishment. Disgusting.

Always a fun time. Great service and the only times I got asked to leave I was walking sideways. Good music and people are there to have fun like me.

Its a great place for having a great time, good music. Its an amazing place

Club is of decent size for the city. Dance floor is tiny (filled with drunks). Bartenders are great. Security is polite, didnt quite like the music selection. But hey... Few shots and will make the night dance away.

Went here on a Friday with a guest list, and was told to pay cover since the guest list ended at 11pm even though their website clearly states that it ends at 11:30. Music wasnt even good, sometimes you dont want to dance to imovie instrumentals. We didnt want to pay after the unprofessionalism we faced so we left.

Quite bad music taste, very white

Security didnt even check my coat, just patted my front pockets. People were smoking vape pens EVERYWHERE, saw maybe two guys get told to put it away because they were blasting huge clouds. Floor was sticky and broken beer bottles everywhere. Fist fight broke out and the musicians security was the only one who stepped in to stop it. Bouncers just stood there. Drinks are overpriced, and the glasses are dirty. Service is super slow (you literally have to wave your money out in front of them to get served)and you will be waiting in line outside at least 20 minutes longer than any other bar in town. Hadnt been here in a couple years, now I remember why I stopped going. Would go to The Spot before going back here.

Please get better DJs

This club has a negative reputation in Kingston and unfortunately it is accurate. The manager is extremely unprofessional and seems to have zero customer service skills. The club is dirty and literally stinks like rodent feces. Im not sure how the bathrooms would pass a basic health inspection. So many liabilities in this place; women in particular seem to get overserved.

Great music, great atmosphere, great experience!

Coat check staff seems to subscribe to an alternative facts version of how to count money. Coat check is $3/coat, I gave them 3 coats and $14 and they claimed I only gave them $9. The manager and staff refused to hear my complaints and said I could either proceed into the club or I could go home but I wasn’t getting my money back. Such a lit night!

If you know about Stages I dont have to say much more than its name. If youre unfamiliar I just have one advise for you. Make sure to be decently drunk to make this a somewhat enjoyable experience.

Stages is the place where am I the most me. The bouncers let me be myself. I can wear anything I want (sweats or nips out) I can be who ever I want (first year queens girl or exchange student from Australia). Stages has allowed me to discover, despite a complete lack of classical training, that I am a world class dancer and I am now pursuing professional dancing!!! Thanks Stages, for allowing me to discover and solidify my career. If only walls could talk, amirite?!??

At least go here once during your undergrad if you are a Queen’s Student. It’s not clean, half the stalls in the washroom doesn’t lock, the drinks are expensive, the lines are long af, the staff isn’t friendly. BUT it’s a great place to just let go if you’ve had one too many drinks at a pre.

The only place in kingston with good music and good service from the staff. The people in stages can be super sketchy sometimes but overall a fun place to go.

Floors are always sticky, terrible music with no beat and the bass us waaay to much, drinks are always wayyy too expensive. If youre a woman make sure you stay with your friends its not a safe place for women.

It was pretty fun for the most part but at the end of the night me and a few girls just wanted water before we left and the lady at the bar wouldnt give us water she said it was against protocol to give out water. We went to go ask the manager and then he took us to another bar and the other bar gave us water. The girl was completely rude to us. And before all that we tried getting a hold of them to get on guest list and they never returned our calls. So I called again the night before and hes like oh your on the guest list. We showed up and the girl said we werent on the guest list....

Rating? -1,000,000I was 1 of the only 2 black women in that night when my girlfriend and I (with a couple of white friends) had beer bottles thrown at us... 2 MINUTES IN!!My friend was VERY upset so we went to the washroom, cleaned ourselves up, and went to the bouncers who said that since they didnt see anything, what we told them was heresy & they cant do anything about it.We then spoke with a front bartender who laughed us off saying that if we want our money back, were not going to get it.At this point, Im PISSSED OFF & my friend just wants to leave.I track down the manager who Ive replayed the entire incident with (including his 2 indifferent employees) and he said I will give you the $5 back, BUUUUUT I dont have to...All we really wanted was a sincere apology that this happened under their roof and that what had happened wasnt acceptable. Instead, we were given nonsense excuses and what seemed like a response in which HE was doing US a favour...We should not have to talk to 3 different employees for someone to empathize with our situation... & WE DIDNT EVEN GET THAT!!In conclusion, if you are someone of colour, do not go to this establishment.This is not the first time something like this has happened, and clearly, the employees wont care about your safety/security.

I really liked the security person one of the nicest ones

Every weekend there is something different happening at stages so you arent going to be disappointed, however that also means that there is almost always a long line for stages as well. Cover is cheap always under 10, but I highly suggest pre-ing before hand because the drinks inside can get a little pricey. So if you like the club scene stages is a good place to head to for a night out.

Definitely the best night club in Kingston.

Went to Stages against my will to go dancing. I dont even like dancing. I got there and the music was too loud, the speakers sounded awful and the floors were disgusting. I met a girl on the dance floor and we hit it off. I should have known it was a bad idea because she was at Stages voluntarily. We went back to her place and her room was a complete mess. I couldnt believe it but I powered through and got the deed done. I left because I couldnt spend another minute at her place without calling TLC to have her on and episode of Hoarders. The next morning I woke up at home with a wicked headache and a case of pink eye. What Ive learned from this is not to go to Stages. Go to Stages, get pink eye. Not a deal that I consider worth it.

Have people ever think about what stages influence the nearby neighborhood?Every Saturday morning, the street outside stages is full of garbage. Also, if you just pass by stages when its open, there will be plenty of buzzed people. Sometimes there are even puke on the street. And it is really loud at night.

Sick beats. expensive beers. too many underage humans running about. but i had a good time.

Horrible bouncers, ale house and other places way better.

Absolutely disgusting. I, a female was physically assaulted by a male and as I ran for safety was not allowed access to my coat and private property. This is not a safe place for woman p

Dont go here unless ur white n like edm

Love the place the dance floor is just really small

Ah must go night light club for dancing and having a good time

The coolest place in Kingston

Definitely looks to be a first / second year bar.

Good set up, horrible music, mixes and djing. Cant fully enjoy the experience.

Always a good time, but also always packed!

All the local skanks in one place. And there picky on who goes in.... like its the place to b blaaah.. fights outside all the time. Just bring 5 rubbers if u want to go lol

This is a horrible and dangerous place. Bouncers attacked my stepson for no reason and almost beat him to death...when a female bystander who didnt even know him saw what was happening and tried to intervene one of the bouncers punched her in the face. When police came he was blamed by bouncers for everything and charged. Dont go to Stages. Its an unsafe place!

Good place to drink and hangout except for 1 of the security guards was an idiot and made the guy I was with leave 15 mins b4 closing time because we drank too much

Music is garbage and hasnt changed in the past 5 years.

You guys STAY playing terrible music

Its been around and around and around! Always a spot for the younger crowd.

One of the more high quality clubs in Kingston but very crowded so not much room to do anything.

...

Your average student town night club !

Horrible and disgusting. Can help it if its the only club in Kingston. Its like a mating jungle here.

Sometimes its the bees knees, sometimes its not

Kingstons attempt at a sketchy nightclub.

I went the night r3hab was performing and it was unbelievable!!! best lighting ive seen in a club and no fights or conflicts

Great

Complete rubbish
