Midsize club hosting local & visiting indie bands, with a front lounge serving Latin tapas. For 10 years, the Garrison has been one of the city’s most beloved music venues. With its front bar and rear performance venue, the Dundas West live music club (west of Ossington) has been an invaluable part of the local music ecosystem. From packed NXNE gigs with lineups stretching down the block, to late-night 4 am jams (when extended licensing allows), to multi-room Not Dead Yet punk blowouts, to more recent barnburners from local acts like Badge Époque Ensemble, the venue has a knack for hosting memorable shows. As a location for the enduring Trampoline Hall speaking series, the JFL42 comedy festival and book launches and release parties, the venue’s importance stretches beyond just music.
