BOOKING

I want to book a show! What next?

The bar opens at 6pm. Shows are 19+ unless negotiated in advance before your booking

• Specify if this is meant to be anything other than our usual 19+ policy. 
• Make every show an event. Just because you’ve booked a show doesn’t mean anyone will show up unless you heavily promote it. Utilize flyering, emails, and social networking to invite as many people as possible to your show. 
• Communicate – we will help you promote, get listed in all the local magazines and blogs, but you gotta tell us what’s going on!
• Become familiar with our venue and calendar of upcoming shows.
• Learn about the venue, stage size, etc. Come out to The Cavern for other shows prior to your show. Meet as many people as you can and invite them to come hear you. Personal invitations go a long way.

If you read this and it all sounds good, thank you – and we honestly can’t wait to work with you!

LODGING

The Cavern Bar is located inside the HI-Toronto hostel. Yes, that's right. This means you can attend a concert or play a gig and hang out with travellers from all over and, if you're from out-of-town, even sleep on-site if you'd like. You'll be an elevator ride away from your bed!

The hostel offers the following services. Don't wait and book your stay now >>
