Cunningham's Pub

Auberge de Jeunesse de Tadoussac is an independent hostel with live music built into its social identity, from early-evening performances to later concerts. Folk, roots, chanson, rock and acoustic artists all fit, and the venue openly welcomes musicians interested in playing. At 21+, it is a strong destination for touring acts that enjoy an informal, traveler-heavy audience and a close connection with the room.

Duke & Devine’s Pub Irlandais in Vaudreuil-Dorion is a traditional Irish neighborhood pub with live music and a 70-person terrace. Acoustic, singer-songwriter, Irish, folk and rock material all fit the setting, especially performers who can work conversationally with a pub crowd. The terrace adds a seasonal outdoor option that favors compact setups and easygoing sets. With a 21+ policy, musicians can shape the show for an adult social audience rather than a family dining room.

Le Barrage - Brasseurs is an independent Longueuil brewpub inside Marché Public de Longueuil that hosts concerts and community events. With about 60 seats, it is an intimate room where acoustic, indie, rock and singer-songwriter acts can connect directly with the audience. The small scale makes arrangement and personality more important than production size, and artists should be ready to work close to a food-and-drink crowd. The venue is all ages, which favors approachable material and a welcoming stage presence.
