The Garrison

have seen a few shows there recently. sound is hit and miss, last night it was terrible. A few weeks ago it was 'ok'.if you like rasberry or grapefruit in your beer you might enjoy this place but I find all the beer offerings un-drinkable.at least they have air conditioning on the hot nights , however it was dripping on the artists and crowd in the front row (I hope it was the AC dripping on them!)will only go back there if its the absolute only place a band I really, really want to see is playing.

I love how accessible this venue is. Lots of street parking everywhere and even two Green P parking lots. Also lots of food everywhere. The washrooms are private but tight. Staff was friendly. Sound was good but definitely bring earplugs, the space is big to fit a crowd but the sound bounces right back to you! I recently went to see Mile End and Single Mothers. Amazing performances. They were so fun and energetic to watch!

Cool venue with a reasonable priced cash only bar. Very intimate and engaging atmosphere. However it was ridiculously hot and stuffy inside which made the whole experience pretty terrible and ruined the performance both for the audience and the artist

It was a great venue for the rhapsody/wind rose/seven kingdom tour. Only issue was sound set up was not the best. But the small venue made it feel like a private event.

This place is a solid, intimate spot for concerts. The front bar allows for solid ambiance while a band plays in the rear in case it's a bit much for you at times but still offers an array of higher end liquors and beer options.Bathrooms at the back are a bit cramped but functional. It is nice to see fully closed off rooms over stalls in a sterile room now and again. It helped to see which to avoid and which were still good to use without having to swing the door open in horror.Acoustics are decent, and with the stage right at your waist, it's hard not to get right in and enjoy the show as close as you can.Lots of parking nearby as well from smaller lots to on street. It's also accessible by TTC with nearby stops.A great choice if you want to be really up close and in the experience with the band.

To get the best quality sound, wear in ear foam ear plugs. Drums and live band sounds perfect with this technique. Once I took my ear plugs out, the room felt too loud and reverberated.Pro tip!

Had an amazing night there! Experiencing some good progressive rock music from Toronto’s locals! I was fascinated! Hope to go back there soon!

I was there last night and had a mixed time. The atmosphere was lively, and the music sounded great. However, it was uncomfortably hot due to the AC not working properly. Water droplets from the pipes added to the discomfort.

Dive vibe. Friendly staff. Back room featuring a number of up and coming acts across genres and mid-level acts headlining quickly sold out shows. Also occasional storytelling and comedy. Sound can be muddled.

It was a fun night. Drinks are pretty affordable and the music was good.
