The Bunker Performance Lounge & Cafe

Venue review

The musician's read

The Bunker is a music-first downtown performance lounge with open mics, emerging artists, touring performers, Friday sessions and ticketed Saturday shows. That mix makes it unusually welcoming to both developing acts and more established performers across singer-songwriter, rock, jazz, indie and acoustic styles. With an all-ages policy, it works more like an intimate listening venue than a conventional bar-only room.

Musiikki Café & Whiskey Bar is one of Kingston’s most musician-oriented small rooms, with live music every night, multiple stages and in-house sound. Jazz, folk, indie, acoustic, rock and experimental acts all have a place here, and the frequency of programming creates a crowd that understands live music. It is all ages until 11 PM, after which guests under 19 leave, so the room naturally shifts later in the evening.
