Goodhandys Toronto Thurdays Night Tgirl Parties! - Now Closed

[Wetheadd]

I was only able to go a handful of times but had a great time always, the second floor balcony where you could watch the dancers was fantastic. So sad to hear that it closed.

Sad to see it go but it was probably inevitable.
While they carried on the tgirl nights, they seemed to be trying to expand their market.
Not sure how the diner did but it seemed to be lasting.

Mandy pretty much retired a few years ago so that really started the end of Goodhandys'

It all started with ladyplus.com and the tgirl strippers in Mississauga and other places.
I think they also tried a club once that didn't work out, then Goodhandy's did well as a tgirl club for many years.
They made porn and stuff for a website for a while but that never really took off.

The location always seems a bit sketchy at night. Not sure how well the diner did.
If it had of been closer to the gay strip it may have done better
However it is possible that Todd was considering retiring as i know he was married recently.

I had some great times there. The last time i was there the bouncer jumped me and tried to break my camera when i was taking pictures of Danika dancing on stage.
I guess i can speak of it now they are closing. The bouncer didn't know who i was and I didn't say anything because i was quite shocked after all the pictures i had taken there over the years. However it was a misunderstanding. It was very interesting that a bouncer was very small compared to me. So it was almost comical that this little bouncer was screaming up at me while trying to rip the camera out of my hands.
Still it is all dust in the wind.

Craig so many good memories. i missed Tasha she was super fun girl. Sad that she is no more . Also sad club 120 is closing down. if there is one more party before closing down i would be there.

Respect!!!

For many reasons I will miss Club 120. And it's not like this was a place owned by a big corporation with deep pockets, it was a labour of love for Mandy and Todd with a guiding principle of a "safe space for all". It will be impossible to ever replace it even if someone tried. Am incredibly saddened by this. This is an article about the closing with explanations by Todd of how much it costs to run.

It makes a two of us super saddened and i am sure many mores. . i am biggest admire of this club. I have met many girls and many great out of town visitors at this place. I agree it was very hard work put in by Mandy and Todd. i cant thank them enough and howmuch i appericiated it to have place for Tgirls and admire like us. i surly will miss all D'J's and bar ppl. i will miss dancing and drinkng at best club.

I will missed Lucy's Dance it was so good relaxing for my mind and body lol and will be missing all other girls dancing.


Hope all goes well for Todd and Mandy.

Respect!!!

Maybe "Pop Up" tgirl parties would work better.

There must be bars up closer to the Church St. Gay strip that would host a monthly party?
George's had a tgirl night but it is gone.
Crews and Tango has like a drag night on Sundays i think.

Funny that should come up. Goodhandys started as the ladyplus pop up at that strip club in Mississauga.

True, but that was a regular weekly thing. Before that they had tried a location downtown.

I was thinking more about parties with no set schedule or night, they just happen and maybe it is like a rave where it is sort of a secret at first.

Ditto!...I feel bad that I didn't get to visit their establishment before they rolled the curtains down...It's the end of an era.
In September of 2016 I have a very brief chat with Todd outside their restaurant downstair, I promise that I'll come back one evening to visit the club and to see if I still could find some girls & guys acquaintances from those early years. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to. I am a proud fan and customer ( and a few times their stage show performer ). An early observer when those new ladies discovered the club in 2006 and witnessed these cute ducklings transformed into a beautiful swan.

It is truly amazing to be amongst these gorgeous people and just wondering where most of them are now?. I am wishing them well and hopefully found the life they all deserve to live.

And I have no doubts that whatever Todd's have to venture into next that he'll 100% succeed ( because he's really hardworking & smart ).
And despite the closure, a Congratulations is in order for its 14 years...they opened that door to an excited fans in May of 2006...and it was a good run.
though I didn't get to grace their diner downstairs, just heard the foods are great & so were the various talents that performed there every night.

Ahh shucks! So sad. I had many good times there, especially in those diamond rooms. Met a lot of sexy tgirls there and got to know them a little. Thanks Todd and Mandy.


Miss you Lani!

[NeedaTSgirl]

This is very sad to me. I have SO MANY wonderful memories from this place. I shelled out a lot of cash on those Thursday nights but never had any regrets. So many sexy girls that I spent time with.

Club M4, a swingers club (although on Dundas Street in Mississauga) has a lot of theme nights, including a Transgender one. I do know there is a couple who contract two Sundays a month for an afternoon party. I wonder if that option would work for Todd.

Miss you Lani!

Awww!...I miss you too!

I was sad to read this today. It was a staple in my university years with fond memories that will last a lifetime. I cannot thank Todd and Mandy enough for having the courage and commitment to maintain the club to this point. Shout out to Lani and Youngboy4ts whom I spend countless hours with there. Although it will be a while before bars are re-opened, I hope that everyone else stays a float so that the trans community can have a place to call home.

[Lani]

Awwww! You and Youngboy4ts are such a lovely human being. Without pretensions of being nice, because there such goodness that emanates from within you two. I am truly honored to be surrounded by both during those late evening chats there. I hope your careers now have been as bright as the personalities you two possess.

Be safe & stay safe

The whole world will be in bad shape for people (like me) who like parties once in a while. The nature of a club is to have a lot of people close together ... And that will be Disastrous UNTIL a vaccine is widely available AND proven to work.

Tis gonna be a very bad time for party animals. I think not before Summer of 2021 at the least.. THIS summer is a write off, Im afraid.

In the old days when they had pansexual nights on Saturdays it used to get quite busy.

However most Thursdays and other tgirl nights, social distancing was already in effect.
Most of the guys stayed away from each other and wouldn't even make eye contact with each other.

I went there once 4-5 years ago on a Thursday night and it was like that

Noooooo!!!!! Glad to see everyone’s still kicking and staying healthy during this pandemic. I can’t believe they’re closed down!! Honestly I signed on to check if there were any updates on whether they’d have a big ass party when this is all over but I guess this is the end....

so for us TS worshippers in Toronto, what options do we even have now? ******* and shemalecanada escorts?

this was a good place to meet tgirls in a neutral environment and develop a relationship that wasn’t based on a financial transaction.

any ideas if another venue will open ?

Random themed pop ups would be a great idea but how would that work?

I remember posting about wanting to throw a penthouse party with tgirls and admirers but that didn’t work out, perhaps this could be a venture. Maybe I could try ONE party and if it’s a success....

hands up, who would come?
