Venue review

The musician's read

The Relic Lobby Bar pairs a Cuban-inspired cocktail setting with recurring live jazz connected to the Lost Key speakeasy. Jazz, lounge, acoustic and instrumental acts fit the mood, particularly small ensembles that can play with nuance in close quarters. Musicians should think sophisticated bar set rather than high-volume club show.

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.
