Hugh's Room Live - Toronto

I attended a tribute show at this restaurant and was impressed by the talented musicians from different parts of the city who performed amazing, soulful music by Tom Waits.

We saw Betty and the Bobs, excellent musicians in this very nice space at a really reasonable cost. Next time I'm in Toronto, I'll be back.

I have been to Hugh's Room many times over the years to see and hear the greats of the folk ,roots genre. There are no bad seats and the sound is excellent. There is a catch though . To get a reservation for a table you must eat a meal. The food is pricey but the quality of the food does not reflect the price. You will also wait a while for the food to arrive . My solution to the food issue is to order the cheese plate or antipasto plate and eat to satisfy hunger elsewhere. As long as you order a beer or three there won't be a problem.

Let's just say Hugh's Roim is a listening room. Amazing performers...always Great music. Tickets are reasonable. The food prices keep getting hiked for ok food. Nothing special. Just expensive. A new menu was introduced with higher prices. Again...$20 plus entree's should be great...not just ok. Washrooms suck. Go early. But like I said...you go for the music...not the food. Wait staff are friendly.

Hugh's Room is a hidden gem in Toronto that is a must-visit for any live music lover. The restaurant has recently updated their menu and the servers are always welcoming and attentive. It is easy to make reservations online and the lineup of performers is top-notch. Even if you are unfamiliar with the artists playing on a particular night, you can rest assured that they will be world-class musicians.
