Commodore Ballroom

Stunning the Granville strip since 1929, some of the world’s best musical acts from Count Basie to the Ramones have graced this stage. Oversized, arched Art Deco windows give an elegant feel to the renovated space. Music’s cognoscenti, older artists and nose-to-grindstone grown-ups in need of soulful relaxation frequent the venue. Table-lined sprung dance floor gives maximum bounce per boogie and the sheer number of bars per customer here is the kind of odds that make you want to play.
