The Zanzibar Tavern in Toronto, Canada is an adult entertainment nightclub found on Toronto's infamous Yonge Street strip. It is one of Toronto's oldest nightclubs, having featured such diverse acts as rock musicians The Guess Who in the 1970s and burlesque goddess Annie Ample in the 1980s.

It suffered serious damage in June, 2010, during the G20 summit when violent Black Bloc anarchists vandalized Yonge Street. Despite the damage to the exterior, Zanzibar management welcomed the summit with cheeky marquees.

In December, 2010, the club garnered attention again when a librarian from nearby Ryerson University took clandestine photographs of dancers and wait staff on breaks on the bar's rooftop.

The Zanzibar has appeared in numerous Hollywood films such as the Incredible Hulk and Exit Wounds.

It has also featured in unusual lawsuits including a man who sued his wife, a former Zanzibar stripper for knowlingly infecting him with HIV.
