1. The Dakota Tavern
Toronto, ON M6J 3A1
(416) 850-4579
Categories:
Music Venues,
Breakfast & Brunch,
Dive Bars
Neighbourhoods: Dufferin Grove, Little Italy, Little Portugal, Ossington Strip
One of my favourite places hands down.
Not only have I enjoyed many fun-filled evenings with friends downing a 50 but this joint is also reminiscent of my parents' basement circa 1978.
Once you walk downstairs the feeling you experience is a very…More »
2. WestJet Stage
The Sirius Stage[1] has two great things to offer: free shows and a great view of the lake.
The small amphitheatre plays host to numerous events from live concerts to movies, and all of them (for the most part) are free. Harbourfront does a good job…More »
3. Kool Haus
Say what you want about Kool Haus, but it's a decent place to see a show. It isn't the greatest of venues, but thankfully, it isn't like the Sound Academy. *Shudder*
What Kool Haus has to offer is its good acoustics, lighting and stage. I've seen a…More »
4. Cherry Cola's Rock N' Rolla Cabaret Lounge
Don't expect to see a sign that says 'Cherry Cola's Rock N Rolla Cabaret Lounge' hanging outside of the new Queen West rock bar.
In fact you might not be able to find it unless you knew the new bar occupied the former Rok Boutique space. Only a red…More »
5. The Silver Dollar Room
Toronto, ON M5S 3E6
(416) 975-0909
Category:
Music Venues
Neighbourhoods: University of Toronto, Downtown Core
The Dollar's has been a long-standing Toronto musical landmark. It's a decent place where the acoustics are good and you have a nice mixture of music lovers, from hipsters to old-timers, who come here because they know a good band is playing.
Okay,…More »
6. Double Double Land
How to describe Double Double Land?
It's part nightclub, part yoga studio, part live music venue, part gallery, part movie theatre and then some. I've been to two events at DDL and each time I've felt like like I was crashing someone's private living…More »
7. The Horseshoe Tavern
Toronto, ON M5V 2A2
(416) 598-4753
Categories:
Music Venues,
Dive Bars
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Queen Street West, Downtown Core
I've been coming here for years and it's one of my favourite concert venues in the city. Yep, it's old, the stage is small and short, and some of the wooden seats are in dire need of repair, but despite these flaws, I still love the Horseshoe.

8. The Garrison
Toronto, ON M6J
(416) 519-9439
Category:
Music Venues
Neighbourhoods: Little Portugal, Beaconsfield Village
According to my friend Christine, the Garrison is what the Rivoli was 20 years ago. I get what she's referring to; it's a space that is now the home to some of the popular indie events in the city, and what Queen West was back in the 80s and 90s.

9. The Toronto Institute For The Enjoyment of Music
Toronto, ON M6J 1E9
(416) 504-5444
Categories:
Specialty Schools,
Musical Instruments & Teachers
Neighbourhoods: Niagara, West Queen West, Trinity Bellwoods
The school has been open for a while but I never ventured inside until I had to cover an event for Canadian Music Week.
What began as a small group of people Saturday afternoon, swelled up to dozens as the day wore on. The Toronto Institute For The…More »
10. Sneaky Dee's
Toronto, ON M5T 1T1
(416) 603-3090
Good ol' faithful.
I may not come here as often as I did in my 20s, but it's a place where I know I can buy cheap beer and eat Tex-Mex food at 3 am.
Nowadays, I mainly come to Dee's for the shows which are held upstairs. It plays host to a lot of…More »
