Keeping up the Bar

Beer: a limited list of craft beers, with 3 Alley Kat taps running.
 
Wines:  our favourite house pours and a limited selection of premiums from our cellar.
 
Spirits:  A good selection of tequilas, mezcals and single malts will still be available, and replenished as needs demand. Our bartender will prepare some popular and tasty cocktails—from classic Manhattans and Martinis to our specialty Caipirinhas, Margaritas and the best Mojito in town—yes, we always squeeze real limes. 

Live Music

Blue Chair has been one of Canada's premiere live-music listening rooms for 16 years.

AHS protocols limit our ability to present music.

Whenever possible musicians will be on our stage, playing for donations or cover. For now they will be instrumentalists, as singing is still not allowed. 

Stay tuned!

Blue Chair is a gem! Local musicians Chloe Albert and Kyle Mosiuk put on a performance that was much appreciated by a full house crowd. Kudos to the crowd for being respectful and there was little talking over the players. Award winning Alley Cat beer was available. A menu with options for all kinds of diners offering tasty in house specialties. Cozy decor, who could ask for more. Thanks to Harold for such a great table!

Great!! Best Eggs Benedict combinations. How often do you see that the Spinach stems have been cut off? Amazing! Presentation, service & atmosphere, 5 star. Live music later, call first.

My husband and I had our wedding reception at the Blue Chair last summer. From the start of planning the party to the night of, Harold and his staff were wonderful and made things very easy for us. Harold was enthusiastic about creating a specialized tapas menu for us and our guests still rave to us about how delicious (and abundant) the food was. He also helped us find great live music that was a blast to dance to. We are so happy we chose the Blue Chair as our venue. It was everything we hoped for and more. I wish we could do it again!
