Dinner is available with our kitchen open until 9pm. Reservations are strongly suggested—make yours HERE. We are an intimate 85-seat venue, so every seat is a great seat! While we do our best to accommodate all seating requests, they cannot be guaranteed. For the best experience, we recommend making reservations in even numbers (for example, a party of three may be seated with an additional guest). Doors open half an hour before showtime for those who will not be dining with us.



FROM TORONTO WITH SWEET MISERY

Lazarettes, from Toronto, Canada, are currently playing out in support of their most recent album Sweet Misery, produced by Ron Hawkins of the Lowest of the Low. The band plays alternative roots rock filled with harmony and storytelling underpinned by earworms of the first order. As Steve Stanley, one of Canada's journeymen songwriters and host of Northern Wish radio, says, of Lazarettes - "artists standing up against fascism is where it's at."


Lazarettes began as a collective of musicians featuring members of Fembots and Sour Landslide, releasing records and performing in and around Toronto, Canada. When the call came to play a fateful show at Toronto's legendary Horseshoe Tavern and not all members could assemble, principal songwriter Chris Tait called on guitarist Richard Peirce, songwriter/musician Bryce Thomas, bassist Chris Monster and legendary drummer Adam Warner (Ron Sexsmith, Sarah Slean, Sarah Harmer, Bahamas, Royal Wood, Jill Barber,Whitehorse) to fill the void.


Ron Hawkins, long a friend of the group's members, joined on to helm the recording at Union Sound with engineer Chris Stringer. What happened next was three days of bottling the lightning the band suddenly found themselves riding.


Today, with the first single “Knock is at the Door” out and the band touring in support of the Sweet Misery album, Lazarettes is coming into its own with a raucous live show featuring sharp, literate songwriting, driving rhythms and singalong harmonies. Lazarettes are aimed at your heart and your head.
