Cameron Public House

Cameron Public House

The Cameron Public House is a small bar, hotel, and informal cultural centre located at 408 Queen Street West, just west of Spadina Avenue in downtown Toronto, Canada. The Cameron has a front lounge and a back room, both with the capacity for audiences of no more than sixty people. It has been described as a unique Toronto crossover of CBGB's and the Chelsea Hotel in New York.

First opened as a working hotel over eighty years ago, since 1981 the Cameron has provided a stage, backdrop, canvas and incubator for the production of experimental and leading-edge music, performance, and visual art. Blue Rodeo, Jane Siberry, Ron Sexsmith, Molly Johnson, Gordie Johnson, Holly Cole, Barenaked Ladies, The Meligrove Band, Lorraine Segato, Willie P. Bennett, The Government, Fifth Column, Mary Margaret O'Hara, The Golden Dogs and many other well-known Canadian musicians all performed here early in their careers.

Current house bands at the Cameron in 2005 include The Cameron Family Singers, The Countrypolitans, Run With the Kittens, The Backstabbers, and Kevin Quain with his band the Mad Bastards.
