About Redbird Live

Redbird Live is Ottawa’s intimate, multi-purpose venue that blends live music, a cozy café/bar, and a music school. With seating for 80 in a 1000 sq ft audience space, the venue offers a warm, close-up concert experience where couches, chairs, low tables, and high-tops create flexible sightlines near the stage. Located at 1165 Bank Street, Redbird Live sits along Bank Street near the Rideau Canal and Lansdowne Park, making it easy to combine a night of sound with food and nearby attractions.

Whether you’re catching regular highlights like Coffee House Sundays, Bluegrass Mondays, or Open Stage Tuesdays, or a touring act such as Medusa at Red Bird, you’ll find an approachable atmosphere and a straightforward buying process. We’ve got you covered on parking, transit, and nearby hotels and dining options to make your night effortless.

Seating at Redbird Live centers on comfort and versatility. The stage is bordered by couches and chairs for close proximity to performers, with low tables positioned in the center and high-tops toward the back, ensuring a variety of viewing options. Parking is limited on-site, but the venue is easily reachable via OC Transpo on Bank Street. For visitors traveling from out of town, the nearby hotels—Ottawa Marriott Hotel, Lord Elgin Hotel, and Fairmont Château Laurier—offer convenient stays within a short distance. After the show, explore a range of local eateries and cafés in the area. If you’re planning a visit, secure your seats early to lock in the best sightlines and a comfortable listening experience.
