Boston Pizza — East Regina

The Lancaster Taphouse is a downtown Regina room that actively welcomes artists and hosts full bands, showcases and community music events. Rock, indie, alternative and acoustic acts all fit, from local groups to touring performers. All-ages access and the musician-facing attitude make it a practical target for bands looking for a room that understands live music rather than simply tolerates it.

Copperhead Brewing Co. is a Regina craft brewery and taproom that also books live artists. Country and acoustic performers fit the all-ages brewery setting especially well, where the audience is likely to be relaxed and social. This is a better room for connection and songs than for elaborate production.
