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 Namur to the cosmopolis, and everything in between.
Born in rural Quebec, Rod grew up immersed in the rich traditions of folk and country music. Over the past three decades, he's travelled the globe to broaden those roots—studying philosophy, literature, and collaborating across genres and cultures.
A formative period came in early-2000s Montreal, where Rod studied under Brazilian jazz guitarist Jorge Costa and fronted a number of rock and progressive rock bands, further expanding his musical voice.
In more recent years, Rod co-founded the folk-rock outfit HemlockHotel with longtime collaborator Dany Lee Duke. As lead songwriter and frontman, Rod helped shape the band’s unique sound over the course of nearly 20 original releases in five years.
Now based in Ottawa, Rod is focused on a range of solo and collaborative projects. His debut solo album—produced by Juno Award-winning producer Steve Foley—is currently in development, with a release planned for spring 2026.
Live, Rod regularly performs throughout the Toronto–Montreal corridor, often accompanied by guitarist Mark Strachan (formerly of Vancouver-based Themasses).
His current setlist features heartfelt reinterpretations of songs by The Tragically Hip, woven together with his own original material for an emotionally resonant and uniquely Canadian live experience.
