FunMix Signage Appears at 393 King Street West in Entertainment District

Billiards and e-sports venue prepares second GTA location in former Inkbox headquarters

Signage for FunMix has appeared at 393 King Street West in Toronto’s Entertainment District, indicating the billiards and e-sports venue is preparing to open its second Greater Toronto Area location. The concept is taking over the second-floor space previously occupied by Toronto-founded temporary tattoo company, Inkbox.

FunMix operates its first location at First Markham Place in Markham, which opened in 2022 spanning 11,910 square feet. The venue combines traditional billiards with modern e-sports gaming stations, targeting students and young professionals with late-night hours extending to 6:00 AM.

The 393 King Street West location positions FunMix at the corner of King and Charlotte Streets in a 12-storey mixed-use building, with immediate access to TTC streetcar service and proximity to major Entertainment District attractions. The Behar Group is representing FunMix’s expansion efforts, with the company actively seeking additional locations across the GTA including Liberty Village, Mississauga, North York, Richmond Hill, Scarborough, and Vaughan.

No opening date has been announced for the King West location.
