The Boathouse is a live music venue and restaurant in the heart of Kitchener at Victoria Park. We like to think of it as a Community House where everyone can come together and enjoy great food, great drinks and great arts and culture. Community is created by the people who inhabit a space. At The Boathouse, we hope to nurture and showcase a community of artists, working in milieus from music to food to drink to visual art. The Boathouse aims to be an artistic and cultural hub inspiring creativity, imagination and awe.

In addition to our many live music shows, we host monthly events like Monday Open Jam, Tuesday Comedy Night with Crooked Sword. But during all of our events, we want to wet your whistle and whet your appetite! Our menus feature food that is familiar, yet innovative, while our drinks showcase fresh ingredients, quality spirits and Ontario craft beers.

Above all else, it’s important to us at The Boathouse to live local and support local. We have built a space where you can come in, feel at home and know half the people because they’re your neighbours too. If you haven’t visited us yet, come join us and find out what everyone’s talking about! We’re looking forward to meeting you.
