Cash only. Good concerts.

Asaira Winter's

I love, love, LOVE it here!!! The server's are friendly and the shows here are 100% worth it and they put their hearts and souls to making sure you're having good time. Nevermind putting your diva on to see who's going to be fabulous tonight. Though I say no matter what they're all amazing and gorgeous people that aren't afraid to stay true themselves inside and out!!!

Simon Lammers

Love seeing shows here! So fun, the guys behind the bar are relaxed and I have some of my favourite memories here.

Vanessa Medina

I’ve had probably one of the most attentive and friendly servers I’ve ever had at last night’s event. I wish I got his name, but he’s amazing. I would go back just to have him take care of us again!

Reuben Maracle

Best in Hamilton consistently. Wednesday night Motown. Saturday Sunday get downs. Staff are nothing short of the best of the city. I've worked in the Industry for over 20 years. ❤️ And I've been to every club bar or restaurant in the city.

MortiN

Philip Skladowski

overall pretty good, but the sound is crazy.

Joe Nail

Two Veils

Best PLACE Ever!!! Music and the show is always ???? ????

Stef Caunter

Genuine cool place, inexpensive drinks and decent sound system. Won’t be long before it becomes a King William condo, enjoy it while you can.

Chris Nixon

Small venue makes events more intimate. Interior is outdated needs to be updated. Events need better organization.

Jesse Schnarr

Amazing atmosphere! #Punkrockfleamarket

Erik Raymond

Best local live music venue in Hamilton

Jeff Gordon

Awesome place to get loose.

Alan Dow

Saw a band from Whitby here. Great vibes and sound for the small venue

The staircase was highly recommended by a friendly patron. Would walk upstairs again. Unforgettable night, 5/5 star

Bradly Buer

Yes yes and yessss! Great venue!

Zachary Kool

Great shows great club

Jonathan Moll

Alright boys, I’m sitting here with my new found bud while our girlfriends dance. We must tell you that this place on a Friday night is an absolute 6:1 ratio, and we are deeming it the hidden gem of Hamilton. Good luck lads

it's Jana Biyotch

I don’t know what happened to the old Motown music playlist but can you bring it back? It was way more lit...

Chy Blackmore

Has themed nights that are fun and it's a nice club that's not in Hess Village. . . Enough said

Davor

It's a great spot, love the patio. Basic beer choices, but still good for a fun night. Great drag shows from time to time. You can bring your own food for the time being.

Andy Lavigne

Friendly outgoing staff, fast service and great music.

Mark Lee

I come here often on Wednesdays for Motown night! So much fun with awesome tunes all night. Drinks are a decent price and service is above average. Cheers!

Serafina Thoma

One of the best music venues in Hamilton! Love the local vendors that participate in the Punk Rock Flea Markets there! ????

Desa Stiles

Boozetown was amazing! Absenth was a welcoming as always and I even noticed staff doing their jobs and making sure everyone stayed within their limits!

Adam Crowe

Great music - people are more down-to-earth than the typical Hess crowd

Erica Cordeiro

Who doesn't love Absinthe? One of the best venues in the city.

Ja Sch

The place to start a riot!

Haley Mcintosh

I've been here many a time in the days of my life- decent space to enjoy a nice intimate show! Drinks are reasonable. They really need an update on interiors and definitely an update on the sound quality. I always end up coming back!

Iv D

It was 90s disco night !

Adam George Palios

Amazing venue run by wonderful people

Adam and Steve host the most inclusive, comfortable and fun parties ! 10/10 would recommend

Alex Sopinka

Great club to catch a live rock show from locals and lesser know (but sorta famous) bands. ????

Julia van der Sluis

Divey (the bathrooms!), but the band and the people, staff included, more than made up for it.

Ashley Lowe

Went on drag night which was awesome! The staff are great and they are following covid rules and still letting everyone have a good time

Abhishek Sharma

Wednesday nights r amazing

Dan Brennan

Motown is good fun.

Vern On

Great atmosphere, but the speakers have severe issues with loud metal music. They arent built for it, and if there were they are pooched

Scott Lantz

Amazing venue for local talent and other smaller concerts and shows. Great atmosphere. Good price on drinks and friendly staff.

Aaron Cat

Absinthe rocks. Came for the Five Years show they rocked the joint. Good beers. Cool crowd.

Nathaniel Smith

Came for the Town. Stayed for the Mo.

Todd Ostaszewicz

A great little venue. Good sound, good priced drinks. I will definitely be checking out an event here again.

Release The Ravens

Fun times every time

Erik Ge

Kind of a subpar club. Really small, but also doesn't do anything outrageously wrong. Functions how it should, but it's also generally pretty ugly. Location is okay

Cy Williams

Love this place so much. The two floors. The glass. Awesome. The atmosphere on point. Hamilton Pride.

Craig Piggott

Great venue for live music

Joshua Llewellyn

Fantastic events happening at this venue. Theres always somethin for every crowd and every age group. Attended thorgy thor's fruitsnacks edition. Drinks are a little pricey and staff can be slow if its too busy or not full enough. Nice atmosphere and a good design for a 2 floor venue.

Dwight Egerter

Great place for live music - watch from the patio during COVID-19.

Robert Koszegi

Not a huge venue, but there's a lot of room to mingle at the bar or dance.

The Body Shop At Home

Great staff

Graeme

Vibey club great tunes but a bit small.

Omomo

I always have a good time here! The security is never rough so I don't know what those other reviews are all about. I've never seen anything happen. Anyways, good times and good music!

Samantha Stead

My three friends and I all had our jackets stolen at this bar. When we talked to the staff they told us this happens "all the time".

Such a fun crowd!! I gets packed in the am so I’d come earlier, and order the pizza/wings… you won’t be disappointed. Especially a must go-to on Wednesday nights!!

Randa Teemo

Fun fun fun

Tokyo Speirs

Can't recommend it as somewhere I'd go on the reg, but for the odd 90's themed DJ nights, it hits that spot beteeen nostalgia and excuses to wear your sweater around your waist and those horrible tearaways.

Joey Jongeling

Always the "go to" for great local concert events as well as others such as Motown. Unreal group of people managing the place and they're always very accommodating. Lots of post event food and places to hang out near by on King Street.

Dawn Andrewsloucks

For a smaller venue the sound was pretty good, and staff was great. The atmosphere was lively and the entertainment always entertaining. Great to have such a unique place to rock out and have a great time with friends. Beers affordable. Not alot of seating.

Death Perception

Best stage for live music in the city.

Karleigh Smyth

Better than the old absinthe

Amanda Blackburn

Amazing, intimate venue for live music with great staff and a relaxed vibe.

R

Opened very late but I really like the layout alot bigger than venues in Toronto so I'll give them that. .

Sharayah Read

Went to a few of the Adam and Steve Presents drag shows here and it was always a fun time! The local queens always put on an amazing show leading up to the RPDR girls.

First time going . Batsmen if I remember correctly was the best great vibe and everything. Go when's he working on Thursday or Saturday.

Braeden Doyle

Garbage place all the security guards are junkies

Ryan Sim

One of the best concert halls in the city. Two floors that cater to the live entertainment and club crowd.

Paul Hickey

Great place!

Samuel Miklos

Met rob ford there

Sarah Dibiagio

Great shows, good brews and two atms. Washrooms not accessible though from what I could see

Kyra

One direction night? Yeah right. “DJ waves” aka the worst DJ in history. If you refuse to play songs that fit the theme, at least play good music! Definitely a waste of our time and money.

MJ Ski

Super small drinks and the place smells atrocious, like sewage. The patio is massive, but you can't smoke or drink on it. The only bonus was that it's surrounded by parking lots, which usually empty out after the yuppy dinner rush.

Autumn Love

STOP LEAVING YOUR TRASH ON MY PROPERTY - LOSERS

Jo-Ann Henry

Went for Punk Rock day. Bought a couple of nice prints. Nice jewellery also.

c

intimate venue with a friendly crowd, interior definitely needs an upgrade. drinks are small and a bit pricey, but makes up for it if its on a Wednesday. Bartenders are friendly but security staff are often rude and unreasonable. If you leave behind an item after a night out don't expect for them to show up in the lost and found.

M Ade

Motown night is hit or miss.

Eveliina Ahonen

The poutine is to die for! Like it is heavenly???????? they have a special recipe with Quebec cheese curds and Canadian potatoes.

Jennifer Lynch

Great place to see shows,

Ben Nobels

Floor was sticky and music choice wasn't great, but I had fun!

Jonny

Incredibly rude and violent bouncers. A shame cause great talent graces the stage but the overall management needs to fix it. Would not recommend after the poor way I was treated.

Kian Morrison

Went here, lost my glasses. Called them, they had em

Zvonko Pozeg

Great place for live music. Mostly for the younger crowd!!

F. Harfield

Kind of dirty. No where to sit or put your stuff. Drinks are overpriced. But the live band was awesome.

Matt Fraser

One of the better places to see bands in Hamilton drinks are a little expensive since the jager and a pbr dissapeared but hey still good nights when you go

Jocelyn Chartrand

Really cool atmosphere, great drinks, nice employees, well maintained exterior and bathrooms.

Mhamad Ghamrawi

Supper rude stuff

Alan Bass

BEST YEARS OF MY LIFE GOING THERE!

O Marshall

Okay

Sean Wilson

Good venue which hosts a variety of different events

Harsh334

Security and staff are incredibly rude and unnecessarily aggressive, music is also not that great. There are a handful of great clubs in Hamilton, this is not one of those.

Jamie Lavalley

I might be biased, but even still it's definitely 1 of Hamilton's finest!

Dustin Moore

Awesome art show deffinately check it out again if they have it again

Sheena Garneau

Good drag shows...they host a lot of Queens from Drag Race

April-Ashley M

Lame. No dancing here, not even at your own table...

Nicholas Bagnato

Motown Wednesdays are a favourite of mine. Always packed with a great crowd then.

Dayna Szymanski

Colby is amazing! Great service and very inventive!

Kurtis Hervé

Motown Wednesdays are definitely the place to be if you're looking for a good time in the middle of the week!
