Best Live music venue in Canada

G	Gregg Loane on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Lee's is a classic. Great venue for music - not too big, but big enough to attract great acts.
J	Jack Abramson on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I give Lees Palace 2 stars only because the sound is really good in there, but everything else about the place screams low class. It looks like the last time this venue has been cleaned was when it was first built! The venue is falling apart, smells horrible, and there is little to no air circulation, making you sweat even when standing still. The washrooms were so disgusting and poorly maintained that catching Covid was the least of my worries when going in there. It’s a shame that the owners put so little money into this place because the sound is super good in there, and this venue could be top shelf with just a little respectful tlc.
M	Michael Siha on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This place is the absolute worst! Do not go here! We had more than 10 people show up for a $20 concert and they wouldn't let us in because one person didn't have their physical ID on them. They had a picture of their driver's licence, passport and COVID vaccine passport but apparently that was not enough. It was for that person's birthday too and the venue was not accommodating at all! Security guard at the front was extremely rude and management used zero discretion. Apparently a bunch of 30 year olds hanging out with an 18 year old is the new way to sneak into random rock concerts these days. Really put a damper on the night when it could have been avoided if anyone there had half a brain. I understand security was just following rules but there needs to be some level of discretion. Will not be visiting Lee's palace ever again in the future. Didn't even know this place existed.
K	K Breezy on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Walked in to a space I haven't seen for over a decade. So many stories from years gone by. Nostalgia is strong. Beard and ball cap are not mandatory dress code ?
G	Gema Sturrock on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ good size venue. great sound. if you get here early you can snag seat. bar doesn't take debit, ATM on site if you need cash, don't know what the fees are because I don't use these machines on principle as the fees are always outrageous, also take credit at the bar. washrooms are upstairs so don't think this venue is accessible, unless they have an accessible washroom I didn't notice. if you want to get up close to the stage you will need to go down two steps twice, so def a no go for a someone using a wheelchair. Last point and reason for the star off is they state that masks are required in the venue on their website (now changed), then they sent an email blast day before stating this but then didn't even pretend that they we're requiring them inside. people walked in unmasked, and bartenders were also unmasked. Most patrons were unmasked even while not drinking. Which, fair enough masks are not mandated anymore and they did check vaxx passes on entry which is also not a requirement so that's cool. But then, why SAY you are requiring them when in fact you are not. it's deceiving to people weighing the risks off attending this venue. Maybe its not an issue for folks but if it is just know that just because they say masks are still required doesn't mean anyone will be wearing them. That said, Lee's is a great smaller capacity venue.
L	Linda Thompson on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great live venue spot! First went thirty some odd years ago and went back last week! Not much has changed!!! Cold beer, fun crowds and great stage and sound! Warning: Bathrooms are a bit sketch!
T	Thiviya Varatheswaran on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Truly a great venue for everyone, with various elevated areas for those who are short! Great acoustics and makes for a great intimate performance from your fav bands!!
J	Joseph Sanchez on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Finally came to the famous Lee's Palace for the Anamanguchi concert In April 2022. Exactly what I expected and had heard. Local venue with a decent bar and super friendly staff. Probably the nicest staff from any venue I've ever been too. The show of course was awesome. The venue had a great setup for shows and a good viewing platform setup. Worth coming to see a show at.
