Venue review

The musician's read

Supermarket Bar and Variety is a Kensington Market cultural venue that mixes live music with dance, comedy and community events. Jazz, acoustic, indie and singer-songwriter acts fit its roughly 150-person live-show scale. At 21+, it works best for artists who can bring a distinct identity to an eclectic calendar rather than disappear into the variety.

Burdock Music Hall is an all-ages Bloordale concert room attached to Burdock Brewery’s restaurant. Indie, folk, jazz, experimental and singer-songwriter acts fit the intimate setting, and the separate music-hall identity keeps the performance from feeling like incidental restaurant entertainment. It is especially strong for artists whose songs benefit from a close, attentive audience.

DROM Taberna is a Queen West restaurant and late-night music room with an unusually dense calendar of global music. Balkan, jazz, folk, funk, Latin, brass and experimental acts all fit, often in a single week. Because the room is built around variety, performers with a distinctive cultural or musical identity can lean into it rather than sanding the edges off their set.
