The Cameron House is a really cozy bar with a little something for everyone. The back room often has great music and hosts many htings for artists. I was last there in March and I had a blast! I saw this amazng band called The Tristones and I was very impressed. They played on the front bar stage, instead of in the back. The sound was great and the band members are all very talented! The drummer was pretty cute too! :) Overall, a nice, classic Queen street hang!
Music and art collide at this "historically significant" Queen West hotbed for the roots and "punk rock" scenes, where patrons "from all walks of life" pass the hat for nightly bands in two performance spaces; in particular, the front's "grand room" (with "lofty ceilings") attracts "writers, musos and a younger generation of hipsters who sit hunched over whisky, wine" and affordable local brews.
Since 1981, this local favorite has drawn a crowd (before then it was a divey hotel). There's a rococo bar at the front, and local bands try out in the back room. If the owners are to be believed, Prince has stopped by to jam here.

The front room is always where it's at. pass the bucket and... more
Love this place! I was stuck in Toronto for a couple of days due to Pearson closures and read about this place on yelp. Great dive bar, and awesome live music. The night I was there an alt-country duo (love locks) were playing, great!!
Good beer too!
This is a totally unique spot, like nothing we have back in vancouver and wish we did!
I came here with some friends last weekend and we had a blast. I am definitely adding this to my list of favourites on Queen West.
First off, the only way to describe the decor in the front is: Acid + A Midsummer Night's dream. There is an awesome fresco on the ceiling with vines reaching up to it. But there are also robots, skeletons and assorted yard sale items stuck to the walls.
They have...

Located just west of Spadina on Queen Street West, the Cameron is a gritty relic of Old Queen West.
