Bartholomew's Public House

Venue review

The musician's read

Bartholomew's Public House is a long-running downtown Victoria pub with recurring Irish trad sessions and other live-band use. With room for roughly 163 people, it has enough scale for a lively night without losing the immediacy of a pub performance. Irish, rock and local bar acts are natural fits, especially musicians who know how to turn audience participation into part of the show. The venue is all ages.
