But the place is literally a big old barn so what can you expect. There are outside patios to escape the heat /have a smoke if you need to. Love how intimate it is and how you can get a good view of the stage from wherever you are. If you get right up close to the stage you can almost touch the lead singer! Quite a laid back vibe. A lot of attendees at the concert I went to looked like they didn't "belong" but were just there to have fun. You can tell a lot of locals just come here for a good night out, regardless of who's playing. The bathrooms were pretty crammed but they managed to squeeze 4 stalls in there so I didn't have to wait long in line each time which can be a nightmare at other venues. Beer was a little pricey (and warm -- $8 tall cans) but that's to be expected at any concert venue I guess... All in all, good times and I'd definitely return if another band/artist I liked came here! (Even if it is a 2 and a half hour drive away from TO)

It's an oldschool, bare-bones place with sticky floors, but that doesn't mean you won't have a great time. This is an old building right on the lake with a pretty nice patio out back. As for the inside, there's really nothing special about it. The stage is probably about 6 feet high so there are no metal barricades, and you can see the band from pretty much anywhere. There is open general admission on the main floor and limited general admission seating upstairs. The seating is very uncomfortable, but if you want to sit upstairs, head up there as soon as you get in because they only allow a certain number of people up there (you can always head downstairs later on if you feel like it). There are bars on both levels. There's not a lot of parking here, but there is a free parking lot a couple hundred metres away (drive under the train bridge, there will be a dirt parking lot on the right side of the road). It's a 3 min walk back to the Kee. The washrooms are pretty cramped and gross, and from what I remember, none of the stall doors locked in the womens washrooms.... so you have to hold the door closed with your foot. I had an issue a few years ago with a male patron pestering me and the bouncers refused to do anything about him, but I've been to the Kee roughly 6-7 times and that is the only negative experience I've had with the staff. Over all, it's a pretty great (and cheap) little place to see relatively intimate performances by some pretty great rock bands :)

Last Thursday, I was at Hugh's Room Live to see Melanie Doane perform. It was a benefit concert to…read moresupport the Doane Music School, which provides music education programs to Canadian youth through the ukulele. Where should I begin? Let's go with the original Hugh's Room. It used to be at 2261 Dundas Street West. It was founded in 2001 by Richard Carson, in memory of his brother Hugh, a musician who died of cancer. Hugh's Room Live moved to its current location on Broadview Avenue in July 2023. It is where the Broadview Faith Temple Church used to be. It makes sense that a music venue would take over a defunct church. The acoustics are fabulous! It is kind of weird returning to this venue. I used to stand in front of this church, be it talking to my mom or chatting with friends before we parted ways. I spent a lot of time in this neighbourhood, especially on Saturdays taking Cantonese classes a few blocks away. The concert was at 8 pm. I drove down to the Riverdale area and parked on Broadview. It's free parking after 6 pm on weekdays. Otherwise, it's Green P paid parking. This concert was general admission. Considering that most Melanie Doane fans would be my age or older, I didn't see this show being standing room only. I was right and relieved. There were seats, but you nabbed them when you arrived. The day before, I travelled home through Chicago. I walked for twenty minutes at Chicago O'hare airport to get to my gate. At Pearson, I walked for ten minutes from the plane to customs. My legs did not want to stand for this show! It is an older church, so there are stairs. It wasn't built for accessibility, but there aren't a ton of steps. If you use a cane or walker, you'd be fine here. Otherwise, it's not the venue if you have complex mobility issues. A woman at the front table said hi. I reciprocated and showed my ticket's QR code on my phone. She scanned it and let me know that I could sit anywhere that wasn't reserved. I asked where the washrooms were. They were downstairs. I used the women's before and after the show. There were three stalls. The washroom was quaint and clean. No complaints. I sat on the main floor. I tried a pew initially. It felt like church. There was no back support, so I moved up to a chair with some decent back support. Perfect! The front rows were reserved. There was seating on either side of the walls. You could also go up to the second floor for more seating. I love Melanie Doane and her music. My first experience was taking in my first Jann Arden concert at the National Art Centre in Ottawa in the late 90's. Opening for her was Melanie. I was floored by her singing and her playing multiple instruments, such as the mandolin, ukelele, and violin. I loved seeing her at shows when I lived in Winnipeg and when I moved back to the greater Toronto area. She doesn't perform often these days. She made giving the gift of ukelele playing to youth her commitment. I was pleased that she held a benefit for her music school. My first instrument was the ukelele in grade 3, so I get it. I went on to play until I was in grade 6. Melanie put on a terrific show. I last saw her a decade ago at, yep, the original Hugh's Room. Insane, right? I had a wonderful time here. Good memories came flooding back. She brought some special guests. Her children, Rosie and Theo, joined her on a song. The former is a singer and the latter is a drummer. They are products of the school and they frankly are blessed growing up with two musical parents. Kathryn Rose and Emilie Claire Barlow joined Melanie to sing a couple of songs. I loved that they covered Depeche Mode's Personal Jesus. They offer the best harmonies with edginess. It was nice seeing Gill Deacon there. I used to listen to her on a CBC music podcast years ago. She helped get the word out on donating to the school. Madeleine, a student of Doane Music School, sang and displayed her uke skills. She was sweet and talented. This venue does not have any food for purchase. It does have beverages, including alcoholic ones. Debit and credit cards are accepted. I liked coming to this former church for a fine evening of Melanie Doane music with her friends and family. I'd return again to take in another concert. It's the perfect venue with the best acoustics. (382)
