FAQ / All Ages

Q: My child wants to attend an all-ages show at The Mansion, but I feel nervous?
A: We've been doing all-ages shows for many years, but the decision to let your son or daughter come to a show here is obviously up to you as a parent. We suggest attending a show with your child so you can get a first-hand experience of how we run the club and treat our patrons. We're confident that once you've been here you'll feel comfortable about allowing your child to come to The Mansion shows.
Q: Does the Mansion Nightclub have seats?
A: Unless a show is advertised as seated, as in Yuk Yuks, our shows are general admission and standing room only. A very small number of bar stools are available on a first-come, first-serve basis in the booths. Patrons with special needs should call 705-797-2449
Q: Do I need ID to enter an all ages show?
A: An ID is required in compliance with Ontario laws anyone 19 and older who plans on drinking alcohol will have to show a valid, non-expired, government issued photo ID, no matter how old you think you may look. Anyone without proper ID, regardless of age, will be treated as under 19 and not allowed to buy, hold or drink alcohol. This policy is strictly enforced and any violation will result in immediate ejection from the venue. For all ages shows, the drinking section is partitioned off from the main stage area and monitored by security al all times.
Q: What time should I get there to get a good place to see the show?
A: We like to think that there are no bad sight lines in the club, but if you're one of those folks who needs to be right up front or along the railing we suggest you be in line before doors open. Keep in mind that no matter how early you line up there may already be people ahead of you in line and you are not guaranteed any particular spots inside.
Q: Does the club offer food?
A: Yes, we have a very menu that includes Nachos, Chicken Fingers and wings for selected events, as in Yuk Yuks. In addition to meat items, our menu is also vegetarian and vegan friendly. Please click here to view our full menu & beverage list.
Q: How about drinks?
A: We have 2 full bars located within the club offering a terrific selection of both draft and bottled beers along with your favorite spirits and non-alcoholic beverages. The club also offers an assortment of teas and coffee for caffeine-fueled fun.
Q: Do you have a dress code?
A: We only insist that you be dressed and wear shoes. Sensible footwear is strongly advised and there are occasionally shows where spiked jewelry and chains will not be allowed. Personal items such as pocket knives, pepper spray, flasks, outside food and drinks or anything that could be considered dangerous or contraband will not be allowed in the building. Purses and bags will be searched prior to entry.
Q: Do you have a coat check?
A: We do, but it is a seasonal thing @ $2.00 per item. During warmer weather there will not be a place to check jackets or bags.
Q: Can I smoke in the club?
A: No. Ontario has an indoor smoking ban, however most nights we allow reentry and should you want to smoke we will let you in and out.
