Dan Lemire

Musiikki Cafe is a wonderful little art filled cafe/whiskey bar with a tonne of character and charm. The coffee is delicious, the whiskey is smooth, and the atmosphere is terrific. This magical spot hidden in downtown Kingston is well known for it's live music and art. The court yard is a hidden jem and a must see. With the largest selection of scotches and whiskeys in Kingston wether you are just passing through or live in K-town make sure to stop by to warm your ears and belly.

Marley

Tom Reder

Ask for Liam. He is fantastic at what he does

Patrick Marshall

Bar, music, patio are great!

David Marshall

Mussikki has the best courtyard patio in Kingston. Only available for summer but nightly music is great. Owners are kind and engaging.

Massis Galstanian

Bands play upstairs which is a small area and can probably seat 15 people (give or take). The bar is on the main floor and there are a few tables there, as well as bar stools and chairs. They got lots of board games on a shelf there, that you can play. Drinks were OK. I tried their whiskey if the week that was advertised on the board and it was pretty good. We tried their coffee as well. Not the greatest, but then again, this is a bar not a prime coffee shop. Bartenders were very friendly people and were working hard to serve everyone in a timely manner. Overall, we enjoyed spending time there.

Andre Blanchet

Was slow due to pandemic, oddly in the 30 minutes we were there the bartender switched over 3 times, made it a bit weird to get familiar and chat. Had the smoked lemonade, but the real star was the cherry sour.

Pavlito vel Pablo (pavlitovelpablo)

Very nice place...

Matthew Meyerink

Great little place, tried some new whiskey and a couple great cocktails.

Estelle Whittaker

Happy 4th Anniversary! Stopped by to have a drink. Live music happening & BBQ out in back patio. Neat little spot❣

Erin Siksay

I had a blast at Musiikki! The mixed drinks were on point (whiskey sour and apple cider in particular were AMAZING) and the live music was just great. It's such an intimate setting that you can really feel the music and the vibe. If you haven't, definitely check out Musiiikki!

Greg Hamilton

Hits way over its weight and size. Upstairs stage and room feels like your best friends living room. Not to be missed if you're visiting town. Staff The on point and friendly.

Bushy

It's a tiny place but the atmosphere is awesome and comfortable. Staff was very friendly.

Neal Stephenson

A lovely little coffee place and bar.

DelRae Stana-Lea Ogilvie

If you find yourself wondering around downtown Kingston, stop by and take in the relaxing atmosphere and friendly staff. Looking like a small hole in the wall don't misjudge this down to earth cafe; this is definitely the place for a sit down with friends and enjoying a good drink, and let's not forget the beautiful patio space on event nights. You will never regretted stopping by.

Matthew Crossman

Awesome spot great music, great staff and great whiskey.

Alyssa Campbell

Cute little place. Drink sizes are inconsistent, beer is over-priced. Despite it being cute, not impressed.

Dugan Maynard

Great cocktails and live music, love the fact that they have hot mixed drinks in the winter and the patio is great in the summer.

Jordan Brady “Legacy7070” Loewen

An Old Fashioned, soft light, and blues rock. Musiikki is a Kingston treasure!

Borian D

Friendly staff and you will love the music shows. The only drawback is the high price of beverages and the fact that the place is very quickly full. What could be better? The people capacity of the bar. The cozy atmosphere could be kept while still scaling up in order to allow more people to enjoy the shows.

Issy

Amazing atmosphere and staff. Love the music and live comedy events so much!

Robbie Pullman (Brushfyre)

Great bar great atmosphere...loved it. Reminds me of the doors.

Scott Wilson

Small hole-in-the-wall cafe whiskey bar. Live music in the evening, supports local artists, and has really good karma.

Stephanie Magnanelli

Great place downtown to study. Not as busy as the other cafes on Princess. Great coffee and the option to add alcohol to it. I suggest the Spanish coffee.

Jeff Ledger

Fun place to play if you're in a band and great place to see live music!

Erica Cordeiro

Cozy, warm atmosphere

Curtis Robertson

This place is great! It's a cozy cafe/bar with a big heart. They have live music often. The staff are friendly and kind.

I love this place. Live music every night. A great place to see how Kingston teems with local talent.

Raya P. Morrison

A fantastic cozy place that serves coffee during the day and whiskey at night.

Jessica Itiaba

If you're looking for great drinks and baked goods (from Card's bakery) plus awesome selection of different live music offerings you've found it! This tucked away little spot is intimate and community oriented that makes you feel at home.

Andrew Wilkins

Great aesthetic, local bands playing, local art hung on the walls and great selection of cocktails and whiskey. The back patio is a huge selling point in coming to this cool spot.

D Drugan

Great space with amazing spiced whiskey sours!

Aprajita Sarcar

Good ambience even if the person at the counter ID'd me (no, I look like I am 31). Live music too.

William van Asperen (Cre8iv3b3ing)

Tuesday Open Mics are a local must see! Local musicians trying new songs and covers. Grab a beer, enjoy the show. It's a cultural thing! Just didn't it!

Arturo Velasco

Amazing drinks and love music

Jordan Prentice

great place for a date

Rylee Simpson

Cozy venue with a lovely scotch wall and even better staff. Music acts everyday, friendly demographic and exceptional atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Tori McGuigan

Fantastic romantic ambiance in the back courtyard -- An absolute pleasure to spend the evening under a magnolia tree sipping handcrafted cocktails. Live music is back, baby!

Amanda Needham

This is an awesome little spot for drinks and live music!

Joseph Hamilton

Picture a scene from the show Friends but change the cafe to a speak easy and change Jennifer Aniston and all the other friends to poets of the past. Change the coffee to artesan coffee or the best whiskey cocktails ever. Then forget all that and pay attention to the live music. Super ya.

Darragh de groot

One of my favourite places in the city. Good music and good people

Megan Carter

Great espresso and cozy atmosphere

Nolan Armstrong

Josiah, Kaylee and Daynah were fantastic. The spiced sour was perhaps the best thing I've tasted in my life. Looking forward to coming again :))

Maher Jebara

Such a cool spot. It has live music and a friendly environment. Prices are decent and tastes great. I like the decor the most. I would have given it five starts but it is very tight and small on the main floor.

Ryan Maybee

I'm biased here due to my working experience at this bar, but if you're looking for a quaint, intimate music experience with great cocktails and whiskey selection, look no further.

Karen T

I was not expecting the size of the patio when we walked through the bar so was pleasantly surprised! Very covid safe and fantastic staff. Good selection of cocktails.

Darlene Belanger

Meh, Not much for Tequila.

Marissa Smirl she-her

Very nice location. I went on Monday, which was jazz night. The band was very fun to listen to. Get there early if you want seating, as the space is quite small. And the London Smog was fantastic!

Simon Onorato

If ure a hipster this place is gonna be heaven for you, but im not so it was just dis

Jolene Simko

"Coffee, whiskey, music" really says it all. Wander in for a drink, stay for the "Cheers"-like camaraderie.

Soroush A

Great atmosphere, coffee and whiskey! My favorite hangout spot to relax, get to know local artists and have a good time.

Robert Bell

Great atmosphere! Want coffee? Check... Want alcohol? Check... Want a combination of both?!?! CHECK!

sloane rosen

Cool outdoors venue with a variety of drinks and performers. Personally had the chai tea and enjoyed the atmosphere!

James M

Unique place to enjoy a excellent Americano. Artisy / reto interior. Old wooden chairs, well lived in smaller location. Friendly staff. Note - if you are going to listen to / see the live music you will need to climb a narrow stair case, it's ~10-12 steps. It would be a challenge for anyone with bad knees - hips. The upstairs music room to long but narrow. It you want to sit up front arrive early or you'll be way to the back. Nice place ????

Quentin Sommer

Very cosy café, staff is friendly and muffins are good!

frozenmice

Nice warm and cozy atmosphere. Great spot for first dates.

Mykhaylo Myshchyshyn

Perfect combination of good whiskey and music

Remy Bargout

Mixed drinks are fire. Ask for a Moroccan Mirage.

Kikih Skye

Supportive of local arts, great live music nightly, great assortment of beverages both alcoholic and non, great, knowledge and friendly staff. It's a great place to socialize, or just hide and listen to music. Great place.

Kasia GT

Always a pleasure

Joabe Mendes

My favorite spot to chill in town, great refreshments, great people and great music always.

Awesome place!!

Brian Roth

A fun spot with great jazz!

Michel Lemieux

(Translated) It was ok (Original) C'était correct

Dave Stone

Great place to warm up with a Flat White or a whiskey on a Sunday afternoon following a walk along the Kingston waterfront

Morgan Rider

Love this place!

Michæl Petkov

While quite small Musikki is a real joy of a place to be in. Nice and cozy, excellent for work or hanging out. I also must say that a whiskey bar AND coffee shop makes an excellent pairing!

zoubibulle

Great cocktails, and on Monday nights, they have great jazz bands playing on their patio!

Ann Donachey

Depending on the time of day you get a different genre of music to compliment whichever bartender is working. It's Kingston's perfect hidden gem and likely has the most beautiful, private patio.

Ian Pereira

Great music!

Matteo Zago

Fantastic Coffee! Incredible whiskey selection. The staff are knowledgable and fun. Between the atmosphere and the music events there is really no place like it (or as good) in all of Kingston!

Melany Rodgers

Great live music and the bartender had fantastic recommendations for whiskeys to try!

Adam Dunford

Love this place! Great people and amazing Whiskey

Stephen McNally

Went here in august and it was awesome. Excellent drinks and that hidden interior patio is amazing! Had some great live music playing as well! Fake jazz Orchestra crushed it. Never thought I would hear rage against the machine or Sean Paul covers on sax in the same set but I’m so glad I did. Would go back here 100%

Bart Warren

Music and some good cocktails, a nice small bar

Savage Machines

If you want a cool place for a cocktail, beer or coffee. I have only been once but the music is the right volume so you can still talk but still enjoy it. Which is hard to do when it's a live music. Great spot

james young

Love the courtyard patio! Saw an amazing band perform there called "After the News", great sound!!

Peter Jacobs

Great staff, great atmosphere!!

peter delaney

Monday night jazz and a smokey scotch gets a top notch rating from me ☺.

Jacqueline Cutler

A Q

Very cramped not a lotbof seating space available

Mathew Wicksey

This place is a healing center. Great staff! Killer drinks! Always good music! And everybody is friendly there. If your lost in life, come to Musiikki.

Gord Brown

Monday night jazz top floor...tres cool...small , simple but friendly...patio outside on 22nd.may...enjoy..

Gigi F

Waited 30min to order a drink and another 20min to get 2 single scotch drinks.

Christopher Benjamin

After not really liking my first cocktail I went to order a different drink when an ignorant staff member publicly accused me of being too intoxicated to drink. Perhaps he would understand that Australians have a different accent if he ever bothered to look outside his hipster bubble. Poor service indeed. Very disappointing!!!

Shaela Izquierdo

What a hidden gem in Kingston, a lovely way to spend one of the first fully vaccinated, post-pandemic outings. Listened to John Torres' lovely music and chatted with the staff and patrons there. I will be back!

Richard Saucier

Fantastic atmosphere, nice surprise, patio in the back. Great drink menu lots of Whisky and cocktails. Live music. What else do you need??

Dan Long

Cozy atmosphere, excellent selection, this is a hidden gem in Kingston

Chris Lewis

T Fraser

Best place to be on a Monday night! Awesome jazz and amazing staff.

Christopher L

Great atmosphere, great music

Keith Bilow

Unique space. Cozy but a bit cramped and tacky. Huge drink selection and interesting performers.

D W

Great back patio! Fun bar tenders and good place for conversation!

Justin S

Great music. Fun laid back experience. Fantastic drinks.

Tracy Ballantyne

A tribute to true love. Enjoy gardens, underground tunnels, and royal furnishings, this place truly is enchanted.

Craig Wallace

It's awesome...different ethnic and gunras and great music..spell check mite not be working????

Em DeSalvo

The atmosphere, live music and drinks were great! Server's were not very attentive. We had to ask the cook directly for food, it took almost an hour to get food (we were the only ones who ordered so it wasn't busy). The food was mediocre. When we went to pay, the sever had no idea what each of us ordered and had to ask everyone what was on their bill. The server also messed up our bills. As I was last of the group to pay, they asked me what to do with the outstanding bill then insisted I pay the remaining group balance on top of my own bill. Over all, the night started out great then quickly turned into a frustrating disappointment.

Ian Lambert

Nice atmosphere. Good range of Whisky. Could expand it further.

Margarita Copplestone

Good atmosphere. Live Music. Friendly staff. I would go back. Loved the courtyard type stage at back.

Kevin Dempsey

Great coffee, music, and whiskey. What more can I ask for? Oh yeah, weed. There's an awesome cannabis store right next door.

Allysa C

I may be a bit biased, but this is by far the best bar in Kingston. The staff is my favorite, the cocktails are the best I've had in Kingston, authentic and quality ingredients, and the atmosphere, whether you're inside or out is dreamy. Plus if you're not a cocktail kinda person they always have pretty cheap beers on tap. They don't serve food, but you can bring in food and snacks if you so desire.

Kaili Gabriel

Best Moscow Mule in town. Reminds me of Montreal.

Nathan Holwell

Enjoy a cocktail at their back patio!!

Michael Myshchyshyn

I wish it was more bars like this in Kingston. My favourite place.

Bonnie Jones

We found this little gem of a pub when I googled live entertainment near me. Monday night jazz was absolutely AWESOME! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! We can't wait for our next trip to K-town so we can come back for another evening of entertainment and meeting new people!

Michael Parajka

Great drinks, music, atmosphere, and super friendly staff

Jon Wilde

They had a private party so couldn't go. Should have mentioned this on their website.

Jada Makenzie

Probably one of my favourite spots in Kingston. Monday night Jazz night rocks!

Jacob Storey

The best secret place in town to have fun

Janine Abuluyan

I recently discovered the charming back patio - nice big tree strung with lights in one corner and picnic tables and coffee tables all around. In the summer they have musicians play on the little stage under the tree. Perfect for dates and groups of friends alike. Excellent cocktails. I highly recommend the Spanish coffee

Donnie McFarlane

Tiny cafe, unparalleled atmosphere. Great for socializing, studying, and live music.

Nathan Free

Beautiful back patio. Open mic nights are amazing atmosphere. Expensive speciality drinks at the whiskey bar but really tasty. Good people.

Gillian Kent

Cozy little venue - food cocktails

Jessica Lynn

A chill place to enjoy live music and have a beverage!

Mitchell Hughes

Great atmosphere

james krahn

Unique place good atmosphere

Sarah Witiuk

A place to support local musicians, have a drink, sing harmony, get inspired, and meet some new people! Once you've experienced it, you'll be recommending it to all your friends.

Jim McDonald

Saw Mauve Grove play live....great time!

Christopher Gray

A hidden gem. Best courtyard patio in downtown Kingston. Great live music. Knowledgeable staff. Great coddle and whisky options
