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.
NQ Arbuckle is the musical moniker of Montreal-born, Toronto-based singer-songwriter Neville Quinlan, whose alt-country band has carved out a cult following across Canada and beyond. Known for his gravelly vocals, poetic storytelling, and a sound that blends barroom grit with emotional depth, Quinlan has led the band through over two decades of critically acclaimed releases and unforgettable live performances.
The band's latest album, "Love Songs for the Long Game" (2023), marks a triumphant return after a six-year hiatus. Produced by longtime collaborator Luke Doucet and recorded at The Bathouse in Kingston, ON, the album features original members Peter and Mark Kesper, along with keyboardist Robbie Grunwald. It's a collection of songs that explore love, hope, and commitment, backed by ruralist hip-hop beats, country guitars, and campfire sonnets.
NQ Arbuckle's discography includes:
- Hanging the Battle-Scarred Pinata (2002)
- The Last Supper in a Cheap Town (2005)
- XOK (2008)- Let's Just Stay Here with Carolyn Mark (2009)
- The Future Happens Anyway (2014)
- Love Songs for the Long Game (2023)
The band has been nominated twice for the Juno Award for Roots & Traditional Album of the Year - Group.
On stage, NQ Arbuckle delivers raw, heartfelt performances that resonate with audiences, whether in intimate venues or larger festivals. Their live shows are a testament to the enduring power of storytelling through music, offering a night of songs that are both grand gestures and humble offerings, honoring commitments to family, love, and the creative spark.
