Bovine Sex Club

Bovine Sex Club

The Bovine Sex Club (note original typography) is an internationally-renowned bar on Toronto's Queen Street West strip. In operation since January 1991, the Bovine Sex Club (often shortened to 'the Bovine' or 'the BSC') has at various times found itself at the forefront of Toronto's goth, punk, alternative, and rockabilly music scenes.

A haven for independent musicians and artists since day one, the Bovine also became well known for being one of the first establishments to serve Jägermeister on tap.

History

The Bovine was built by a small group of local artists, Dave Greiveson and Great Bob Scott, the latter being the drummer for The Look People. They worked under the creator of the Bovine, Happy Dog (real name - Wesley Thuro). The exterior and interior were an art installation made solely from discarded items. Thuro built the club on a budget of $30,000, half of which was borrowed from Toronto DJ personality Chris Sheppard. In the first three years of operation, the club opened every night and regularly sold over a thousand drinks per night in a room that had a legal capacity of fewer than a hundred people. The club, long rumoured to have been modeled after New York City's "The Scrap Bar" in fact owes more of its heritage to a 70s Toronto club called "Brandy's".
