Established in 1934, this historic venue holds captivating tales and has evolved into the ultimate rock concert hub of East End Toronto. The Linsmore Hotel was established on December 7th, 1934, the same year the Province of Ontario started licensing saloons. The Linsmore Hotel catered to those visitors who needed a room for the night. A ladies and escorts room was accessed through the side entrance on Linsmore Ave. In those days, there were no windows to look into at The Linsmore because the customers didn’t want the neighbourhood knowing who was drinking inside. Trays of 5 cent drafts in 6 ounce glasses were dropped at table after table. Following the pub tradition of the British Isles, the Linsmore was the social hub for its immediate neighbourhood. Ryan shares the fascinating journey of the Linsmore Tavern from its origins as an old-school tavern to its current status as a celebrated music venue. Discover the vibrant history, the community's love for live music, and the stories of famous musicians who have graced its stage.
