Hugh's Room

Hugh's Room

Hugh's Room is a restaurant and folk music venue in Toronto, Ontario. Located on Dundas Street in the city's Roncesvalles Village neighbourhood, the club was opened in 2001 by Richard Carson and named in memory of his brother Hugh, a former folk musician who had dreamed of opening his own performance venue before his death of cancer in 1999. Although primarily a folk club, Hugh's Room also sometimes books jazz, blues, classical and comedy artists as well.

In addition to local and touring performers, the club is also a regular venue for multi-artist theme nights and tribute concerts, including a monthly Sunday afternoon "Gospel Matinée" and alternating monthly "Boys Do Girls" and "Girls Do Boys" nights where artists perform covers of songs written by songwriters of the opposite gender. Tribute concerts to Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Gordon Lightfoot, John Prine, Willie P. Bennett and Oliver Schroer have also been held at the club in 2008.
