Best Live Music Venue

The Marquee Club, 2037 Gottingen

In a landslide victory, The Marquee Club picked up first place honours as Atlantic Canada’s Best Venue. Between it and its dark underbelly called Hell, the venue is open seven nights a week, features the coolest retro night in town, and stays open late enough for you to get drunk several times over during the course of an evening. And with its great sound and light systems, it gives the top touring bands a good reason to come all the way to Halifax instead of turning on their heels in Montréal.
