In comparison to other venues I’ve showcased throughout the series, this is one of the newer ones. The Roxy Cabaret opened its doors on August 14th, 1988.

Smack dab in the heart of Vancouver’s Granville Street, The Roxy is a fan favourite among new and old bar-goers. It’s also open 7 days a week, with various constant events happening on select days allowing for everyone to enjoy what the venue has to offer!

While there’s always something good every day of the week, there are two prime times to enjoy what the Roxy does best: Millennial Monday, and Roxy Country Sunday! While you can hear the Roxy Rollers, the venues house band, any day of the week, things are kicked up a notch.

Yearly chart toppers and fan favourites from 1995 to 2010 are in the queue for Monday nights, which yes, does mean all of your favourite white girl classics are in play!

Any and all country is on the table every Sunday! The Roxy Rollers have 3 different vocalists among them ready to give you the best quality country night.

While those events are permanent staples, there’s a newer week day event that may not be here to stay: Girls Gone Roxy.
The event is for women, made by women, in an effort to produce a safe environment for ladies to enjoy, solo or in groups! The best part? Cover is free for anyone coming in before midnight, so you can enjoy the night safely and for free. How are you supposed to turn down an offer like that?

Throughout The Roxy Cabaret’s 38 active years in Vancouver, it has made a powerful name for itself through a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere, its diverse event programs featuring various local artists and bands, as well as its notoriously energetic themed parties. It started out during a difficult time, and for a while, was one of the only active nightclubs in the Granville area. Now, in an age where music venues have once again flooded the streets, the Roxy has remained a prominent venue in Vancouver’s local music scene.
