Like a Canadian version of Austin City Limits, Hugh’s Room has quietly become the place to hear excellent roots, folk and world music (not to mention jazz, blues and poetry readings) in Toronto. Tiered seating, with some tables stage-side, lends a sense of occasion and a dinner theatre–meets–acoustic music ambience. And indeed, the best way to make sure you get a table is to reserve for pre-performance dining. Happily, the food is a cut well above pub fare, though it is priced accordingly. Such performers as Loudon Wainwright III, Jane Siberry, Buffy Sainte-Marie and Pete Seeger have graced Hugh’s small stage. Hugh’s is also a favourite venue for album release parties. Cover $7–$35.
