Venue review

The musician's read

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+.
