One time, at band camp...no just kidding; one time when I was 14, there was a band called Furnaceface and I really liked this band. I heard they were coming to Sudbury and were going to play an all ages show so I did everything I could to come up with a bit of money and a ride, grabbed my best friend, and experienced my first ever live music show - at the Townehouse Tavern. This first experience has defined a lot of my life - music choices, friend choices, etc. I've gone on to see many shows and have many drunken (and sober) nights at the Townehouse. When I go home for a visit, it's always on the agenda. The bar has been going strong for close to 25 years now, booking a wide array of bands and musicians, some barely known and some well known. For a city like Sudbury, it's truly an impressive thing. I thought that perhaps I was being biased by giving the Townehouse 5 stars, based on my affinity for live music and pubs and the fact that there is a serious lack of each in Sudbury. But I don't think that's it - this is just a genuinely great bar, down to earth, good music, good people, good times. When you're booking amazing talent like Bedouin Soundclash, Bocephus King, etc. and won't submit to crap music, you deserve 5 stars. I can't sum it up much better than Paul does on the Townehouse website - there is a great about us section that outlines the history of the venue. My only complaints would be that the washrooms are kind of yuck and that the bouncers are sometimes a bit jerky because they work at the coolest and most 'alternative' bar in town. But, that counts for a few minutes of your night and then you're whisked back into 1994 or 2000 or whenever it was that you first happened to start frequenting the Townehouse - and I mean this is a good way. Your friends are there, a good band is playing, you play a round of foos and drink some beer. Could you really ask for anything more on a Sudbury Saturday Night? read more

The Townehouse Tavern - Local talent jamming. - Music Venues Near Me - Sudbury, Ontario

I ordered the T.HO burger with cheese. It took almost 20 minutes to get to my table and that was a little slow for me. The burger itself was pretty big. They did not skimp out on the patty and the toppings were fresh. The patty was the dry side but it was average patty. Not much seasoning to be honest. The fries however, they were BOMB. So good. I loved those fries more than the burger. I would come back however, because there were a lot of other things on the menu I would like to try besides the burgers. The service was slow though. During the 45 minutes there, they did not even refill our water. We had to walk into the restaurant (from the patio) to pay our bill at the counter because no one was coming for so long. I was quite disappointed by the service. read more

I have been going to The Towne House Tavern since I first moved to Sudbury in 2001 while I was in college. I love that they support local and travelling bands by giving them a chance to perform here. If you would like to check out local Sudbury talent this is the place to visit. Music here can be very loud, they have speakers for a stadium in a little bar, so if you don't like loud music then this isn't the place for you, I would suggest you carry a pair of ear plugs just in case. They have a couple of pool tables and a full bar with enough variety to satisfy almost anyone. There is usually a cover charge, you can always call to check how much before going. If you like Folk, Rock, Alternative Rock, Classic Rock, heavy metal, then this is the place for you. read more

Charged me TEN DOLLAR cover on a SUNDAY night for literally no ambiance and a piss poor band. As if that wasn't enough they refused to take card at the bar which is absolutely ridiculous in this the year of 2018. Grow the fuck up or get the fuck out read more

staff does not treat customers with respect. My Friends and I cant remember the last time we've seen this kind of poor service before.

Burgers. They make good (but gigantic) burgers. Def try one. Live music every night, cover charge varies.

Good food bad service. Burgers are good but servers were sub par, the live music was surprisingly good

Some of the best burgers in sudbury. Beef is cooked well, brioche buns are great and they have a nice assortment of toppings. Service can be a little slow at times but food is great. Definitely a DDD type of place. read more

This is the worst venue to see live music I have ever seen...and I've seen at lot of live venues. The stage is too high so when everyone decides to stand up, you're either stuck at the back and can't see anything...or you're stuck on the level below...where you can't see anything. The sound is terrible, the atmosphere non-existent. It's dirty and the bar sucks. This place is a disgusting dive. And yet, it's the only place in Sudbury that brings in live bands and indie bands on a regular basis. The owner has a monopoly on live music in this town and he knows it, which is probably why the place hasn't seen any change or improvement...ever. The Townhouse fails both as a live venue and as a bar . Worst. Venue. Ever. read more

Great atmosphere, cool people, cheap beer, live music every night. Best bar in Sudbury. read more

Would like to give five stars, as I am a BIG fan of the food. That being said, they have one good server. The "gentleman" behind the bar is a waste of clothes. read more
