Jarvis St. mansion is Toronto's newest event venue

What's swankier than hosting an event at a historic Toronto mansion? Not much. And if you want to, now you can -- because the Gooderham House at 504 Jarvis St. is now the Berkeley Bicycle Club, a smallish venue meant for intimate parties and gatherings.

The Romanesque Revival house, which dates back to 1891, had a slew of tenants after George Horace Gooderham and his family moved out in 1906. Most recently it was Osteria dei Ganzi, an Italian restaurant (and site of the In N Out Burger pop up).

Earlier this year Berkeley Events took the space over and transformed it into a multi-faceted venue suitable for about 100 people inside and nearly 200 (standing) on the wrap around patio.

While Berkeley's already hosted events here, it's holding a free launch party on July 6 from 3 to 8 p.m.
