Silver Dollar Room
- 486 Spadina Ave. (at College) • View on map »
- 416-975-0909
Opened in the ’50s, the Silver Dollar started life as the cocktail lounge of the Waverly Hotel. Now one of the city’s premier blues clubs, it’s still got a deliciously retro vibe. The joint is jumping most nights with live rock, bluegrass and, of course, blues. The Dollar has hosted plenty of legends in its day, including Bobby “Blue” Bland, as well as such long-time local acts as Jack de Keyzer; a number of the genre’s greats are depicted in a mural. Many working musicians (and devotees of the old Spadina scene) still grab a stool at the bar and knock back bourbon. Cover varies.
