China Cloud

This tiny nook is a hot spot for local artists, fans, and comedians alike. It’s almost as though you’ve entered into an underground club that’s a true secret to the public. A earthy, soothing atmosphere with chill vibes, China Cloud really stands out (even though it’s quite hidden). It features a variety of artwork, comfy couches and a handmade wooden bar. Highly rated on Yelp, this is a great spot to see some local bands in a more intimate setting.

Located at 524 Main Street

The Biltmore Cabaret

 This spot which is a bit bigger than China Cloud, showcases local talents, and has an INSANELY delicious food menu to boot. You can reserve seating at two sides of the cabaret, which show cases a different genre of music each. This is an interesting element that gives you that extra option (sometimes depending on your mood!) to choose from. They also showcase a variety of themed nights, including Jr. High 90’s night, Kitty Nights and Talent time. Reviews constantly mention how every night is different at the Biltmore, and that keeps it interesting every time you go! You can’t find a bad seat in the house to watch your favourite bands.

The Cultch

This cute little spot has nothing but amazing reviews! The atmosphere at The Cultch alone will make you want to go back over and over again. Cozy, relaxed with artwork displayed all over, you’re not only there for a great show, but the venue is visually appealing as well. With not a bad seat in the house, you really feel as though you’re apart of the show itself. This little nook features old building vibes, almost nostalgic making you feel right at home, with some inside updates that give a modern twist to it. They also feature a lounge room for you to kick back and relax on larger cushioned chairs, so you can enjoy the show comfortably. Fabulous staff, and great happy hour prices, it is a venue fit for a true fan.
