The British Café

The British Café is open all day: Early risers can take there breakfast and night owls go there to find local musical artists in the evenings, “open mic” while enjoying a drink.

In the 1950s, Joe Tchorewski made the British Hotel a hotspot for the Canadian music scene. Today, the tradition continues with great local talent and some of Canada’s best new musicians gracing the stage of the Public House on Friday and Saturday nights.
