With room for roughly 150 and a 19+ policy, Dominion Tavern is part of the live-music circuit in Ottawa, Ontario. Brews • pool tables • punk, metal & alt-rock. While most shows take place on Friday and Saturday nights, they can be held any night of the week. The Dominion Tavern calendar is open to All Genres, Alternative, Garage, Indie, Metal, Punk, and Rock. Dominion Tavern accepts booking inquiries through Facebook. Dominion Tavern’s production package is not confirmed, so PA, monitoring, backline, and staffing need direct agreement. The remaining practical details for Dominion Tavern should be advanced directly before travel and promotion are locked.

House of TARG combines an arcade bar with a real Ottawa live-music identity, especially punk, indie, alternative and rock. Concerts are part of the regular schedule rather than occasional add-ons, and the room’s playful atmosphere suits bands with personality. Family-friendly hours before some concerts also make the venue more flexible than a standard late-night club.

Pubwells has operated in Ottawa’s Little Italy since 1991, offering a cozy British-pub setting with drinks, homemade pizzas, burgers, and live entertainment. Music is scheduled on Thursday and Saturday nights, and the 19+ room favors bluegrass, classic rock, and jazz. Booking inquiries should include a music link and preferred dates, giving the talent buyer something more useful than the traditional mysterious email reading only “available?” Capacity and production support are not confirmed, so acts need to establish PA, monitoring, microphones, backline, engineer coverage, load-in timing, and set length before accepting a show. Compensation, promotion duties, and any ticketing arrangement also require direct agreement. Pubwells suits bands whose sound fits a neighborhood-pub evening, with enough character in the room to support the music without pretending the hamburger menu is a festival rider.
