Friends enjoying a lively night at The Dickens

MORE THAN A DATE IN THE DIARY

Make a whole night of it.

Start with dinner and a proper catch-up. Stay for the first set, the familiar chorus and one more song. With free admission to our regular shows, all you need to plan is who’s joining you and where you’re eating.

More about live music

Book dinner, catch up over a drink and be there for the first set. Our regular live music shows are free—food and drinks are purchased separately.

Find weekend bands at The Powerhouse, The Dickens, B-Side Social and King George Pub, plus summer concerts at Southcote 53 and holiday Sunday music at The Dickens. Some special events have a separate admission charge.

Dinner first. One more song after.

BEFORE YOU COME OVER

A few useful answers.

Less organising.
More looking forward to it.

Where can we hear live music?

Join us at The Powerhouse in Stoney Creek, The Dickens in Burlington, and B-Side Social and King George Pub in Hamilton. Southcote 53 in Ancaster also hosts our summer concert series.

Is live music free?

Yes. Our regular live music shows are free. Some special events have an admission charge; ticketed shows are priced individually and paid in advance. Food and drinks are purchased separately.

Who is playing?

Published artists are shown beside their dates. More names will be added as bookings are confirmed.

Can we reserve dinner before the music?

Absolutely—that’s our favourite way to do it. Book dinner at your chosen restaurant, then stay for the show. Our regular music is free; some special events need a separate event ticket.

Can we reserve for live music?

No. We do not take live music reservations at any of our restaurants, including Country Night. You can reserve dinner separately. Some special shows require advance tickets.
