I saw a list of bars open to 4am for TIFF and while there are some nice spots on the list notably absent were strip clubs. Several opened to 4am for PRIDE, but not for TIFF?

Well.. Remington's was on the list. Not really my thing but if any of the ladies are looking for something to do at 3am...

But I'd have thought the downtown clubs would participate, Zanzibar/Rail/Filmore's. Guess not?
 
Maybe if they did a midnight screening of "Showgirls" they could qualify......
 
Bars don't have to show movies to qualify, but I am not sure what the selection criteria is, whether there are any criteria or what.

Well I was joking.....

But to be serious I believe the criteria for the late opening for TIFF is at some point you have to have private functions related to the festival. As well as donate to TIFF as a "corporate" partner.

Doesn't have to be a gala. Some of the restaurants do private dinners for say the cast and producers of a film before or after it is shown. Some are charity events. Some, like say the InStyle Magazine party for the Foreign Press assoc are industry related. The venue will get the designation in various ways.

In the case of Pride it may just be Address related for the Strip clubs if they had it, or they may be due to donations. I can't see TiFF accepting the Zanzibar as a corporate sponser so that's probably why.
 
Well Remington's made the list so...

They may well have done a charity event. Also a lot of actors are gay so some sort of unadvertised private party may have taken place.

Hell just a private party with hired drag queens for a show. I couldn't say for sure. I'm not privy to some of the goings - on. For particulars. But that would be my guess in the general sense.
