Venue review

The musician's read

Function Bar + Kitchen is a midtown Toronto restaurant and bar with live soul, funk, Latin, salsa, reggae, jazz and R&B woven into its programming. Age access varies by event, and some shows welcome all ages. Bands that can make the music feel central while still respecting dinner and late-night service should fit especially well.
