The Cambie Bar & Grill is the kind of historic Gastown bar where the music has to work inside a busy, social room rather than demand complete silence. Its recurring showcase moves through roots, rockabilly, country-blues, soul and jazz, and the lineup regularly stretches from trios to full bands. For musicians, that makes it a strong fit for lively, groove-forward acts that can grab a mixed bar crowd quickly. The room is 21+.

Venue review
The musician's read
Pourhouse Restaurant places live jazz inside a heritage Gastown restaurant and bar, with trios and other intimate ensembles fitting the room naturally. Jazz, soul, roots and acoustic material work best when the players can create atmosphere without disappearing into the background. This is a dynamics-and-touch booking: musicianship should feel polished, but never overpower the dining room.
