So you think you know how to have a big guys’ night, huh?
Think again.
We’re sorry to have to tell you that shooting the breeze over a few beers with your buddies while you play poker isn’t exactly epic.
Which is why we’re happy to introduce you to the Modern Man Event happening on July 11th at Roy Thomson Hall. Think: cigars, craft beer, mixologists, all you-can-eat food options, grooming stations, more booze, and an underground market full of every item you need to take you to the level where words like suave no longer seem inappropriate when applied to your style.
Bring your brothers-in-arms and your favourite ladies too, ‘cause here are six reasons why Modern Man should definitely be a night to remember.
The Food
One of the most important elements for any guys’ night. Modern Men has it covered.
Lou Dawg’s slow-smoked Southern cooking, The Good Son’s fusion cuisine, fresh and seasonal favourites from The Beverley Hotel, Cheesewerks’ ultimate greasy bites, Trattoria Nervosa’s Italian comfort, ROUND Venue, Raw’s Healthy twist, and more.
Not full yet? Good. You’ll find even more great food at the official Modern Man After Party at El Caballito.
The Music
Tunes are a necessity of any guys’ night, but the live music at Modern Men will bring it to a whole new level. (aka: Not your buddy’s terrible playlist that he insists is ‘classic’).
Top Canadian beatboxer,KRNFX, Lasko & Kestler, Jeff Eager and some of the city’s top DJs will keep your head bobbing and your hips moving (probably awkwardly – we are men, after all) from the minute you walk in to the second you head to the after party.
The Services
Free grooming? Always.
Rebels Refinery and Man Up!, two trending skin care brands, will be featuring new products. And MANKIND Grooming Studio will have an exclusive on-site barbershop offering free trims and shaves.
The Cigars
Appreciate a good cigar? Like to at least pretend you do? Perfect.
The outdoor cigar lounge set up by Mombacho Cigars will offer a great place for aficionados and amateurs alike to get their smoke on.
The Clothes
Looking good, good looking.
A huge number of the city’s best style brands will be showcased throughout the event. With Baffi’s Wooden Pocket Squares, LD West’s smartphone/wallet holster, Pomp & Ceremony’s hand-crafted ties, and Lazypants launching their first men’s collection, there won’t be any shortage of new mens styles you can get your hands on – or more appropriately, you can get on your body.
The Networking
This first-ever expo has already got the attention of some of Toronto’s top tastemakers, VIPs, television personalities, and sports stars. Needless to say, if you want to see and be seen, Modern Man is the place to do both.
Swagger, style, and cigars. That’s a night out. So ditch your buddy’s basement card table and head to Roy Thomson Hall instead. ‘Cause the truth behind any epic guys’ night is never knowing what’s going to happen next.
