The Hooded Merganser

Venue review

The musician's read

The Hooded Merganser is a lakeside restaurant at Penticton Lakeside Resort that uses live bands as part of special-event and evening entertainment. The waterfront hospitality setting favors broadly appealing acts that can create energy without losing the dining-room atmosphere. Bands should think polished resort entertainment rather than an underground club show.

Rock, jazz, folk, singer-songwriters and touring acts all fit the format, but the common thread is an audience that comes to listen. Artists can approach this as a real concert date, and there is a formal performer-request route for booking inquiries. The venue is 21+.
