We're NOT YOUR TYPICAL NEIGHBOUHOOd HAUNT, BUT we are the FRIENDLY, neighbourly HOME OF ALL KINDS OF ROCK'NROLL, SOUL, DEEP-FRIED FUNK, Motown, ALL-MANNER OF PUNK, OUTLAW COUNTRY, new wave, bLUES, WESTERN SWING, BLUE-JAZZ-GRASS, big band-swing jazz, NEW ORLEANS BRASS FUNK, SKA, REGGAE, BEBOP, BLUES, TRANCE, HIPHOP, HEAVY METAL, GLAM, GARAGE, SURF-ROCK, ROCKABILLY, POP as in Popular Music throughout the ages... mostly through the 1900's and 2000's, and yes... DISCO (like anything else, some of it has serious, serious hooks), AMERICANA/ROOTS and EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN... We're fans of the best of the best, even when it's not that known or popular. And we always like hearing and being turned onto great, new music...
Music is a way of life here. It makes our world go 'round.
We've got a KILLER PA, super FOH (front of house) Engineers, and a great sounding room; Ask around. We we're an official venue for CMW (Canadian Music Week) 2010, 2011, and will be for 2012 as well. We we're also an official venue for NXNE (North By NorthEast - Canadian Music Festival and Market) 2010, 2011, and will be for 2012 also. We're advocates for, and support, live music and independent, original artists. We showcase live music here between 5-7 nights a week. We have killer DJs as well; To DJ a crowd of patrons successfully takes a specific talent, make no mistake. And we're consistently taken aback by the sheer amount and level of musicianship and talent here in Toronto... It's inspiring.
WE'RE ALSO THE HOME OF great HOMEMADE FOOD, well-made DRINKS, NO ATTITUDE-OR-BS-SERVICE, AND A helping hand and a KIND WORD WHEN YOU NEED IT.
WE'RE KNOWN FOR OUR 'Open Mic Mondays', our Artful Bartop Burlesque, our delicious 'South of The Mason-Dixon Line PULLED PORK SANDWICH' (which will compete with anything in The South by the way), our tasty & very addictive 'WHITE TRASH NACHOS', our especially great CAESAR, dubbed 'Jess' The Painted Lady's Sunday Afternoon - Anytime Really - Hangover Cure Caesar', and among other things... throwing a great party.
We love what we do. We try to to have as much fun as we can - life's hard enough as it is. And we care about every single person who walks through our doors and into The Lady.
Peace.
