Larry's Hideaway was a bar in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The venue was notable for being one of the first venues in Toronto to open itself to punk and new wave music acts, as well as hard rock. The venue was well known for its good acoustics. Several artists recorded live albums at the venue.
The bar was located in the basement of the Prince Carlton Hotel on the north-west corner of Allan Gardens, on Carlton Street at Jarvis Street. The venue was booked by the "Two Garys", Gary Topp and Gary Cormier, who also booked bands to "The Edge" and to the Horseshoe Tavern. The bar had a dirty, un-clean reputation although bands reputedly loved to play there.
The hotel was damaged by fire and demolished in the early 1990s. The location is now part of Allan Gardens park.
