Burdock Brewery

Intimate indie venue and craft brewery combined. Small shows in a music room that makes every seat feel close to the stage, with excellent house-brewed beer and zero pretension. The kind of room where you discover a band that's bigger two years later.

Area: Bloor West · Address: 1184 Bloor St W, Toronto, ON M6H 1N1 · Hours: Shows on select nights from 8pm

What to expect

Low-key excellent — the best small music room in the city

Local tip

Check tickets in advance — shows sell out without much fanfare. The back music room has great sightlines from literally anywhere — it was designed with sight-lines as the priority. The beer program is genuinely excellent.

Getting there

Subway to Ossington or Christie (Line 2), then walk along Bloor. The brewery is between the two stations at #1184.
