Dean was amazing — so nice and welcoming. He even lit our candle and truly lit up our night. Honestly, the best worker there all night. Couldn’t have asked for better service, so lovely and kind :) I would come back to see dean any day of the week 😂

The two bartenders on a Monday night were amazing! They went above and beyond to make sure that our time was time well spent! Never been to a place that will go and make sure there customers are having a great time. I recommend the Toff to anyone the music and atmosphere is amazing!

Came here on a whim - immaculate atmosphere, good happy hour options. One of the managers "Shay" was wonderful and kind enough to let me know of a couple others bars as an out of towner. Def recommend

I’m really disappointed with how my situation was handled. I accidentally left my equipment behind and called the venue about 30 minutes after leaving to let them know I’d come back the next day to pick it up. The person on the phone said they’d take care of it, but when I came back the next day, my items were gone. I have to spend $300 to replace the equipment because of this lack of follow-up. I hope they take this feedback seriously and ensure that future requests are properly processed.

Incredible venue. The Tuesday jazz night is a marvel, bar staff are fantastic, prices are cheap and service is amazing. TRANSGENDER PEOPLE ARE NOT WELCOME IN THIS VENUE. Wish I could return as the time I had was amazing but, alas. Cisgender people should 100% check this place out. Transgender people DO NOT GO HERE, it is not safe. 🥀💔
