About The eBar

Welcome to ARTBAR, the reimagined space formerly known as The eBar, now part of The Bookshelf complex in downtown Guelph. With a flexible event setup that typically accommodates up to 100 guests (approximately 75 seated, 25 standing, though arrangements vary by show), ARTBAR offers an intimate setting for live music, burlesque, queer dance, comedy, book launches, and other arts happenings. Whether you’re a local resident or visiting for a festival, you’ll find a welcoming, artist-driven atmosphere and easy access to parking and transit.

Located at 37 Quebec Street, Upper Level, Guelph, Ontario, ARTBAR is integrated with The Bookshelf complex, providing a seamless entrance from the street and convenient access to nearby amenities. This venue has a rich history of hosting artists like Serena Ryder and Caribou and remains a key partner in events such as the Kazoo! Festival.

Plan ahead: parking is available in downtown garages and on-street spots, with the main accessible entrance through The Bookshelf. Public transit and Guelph Central Station are a short walk away, making it easy to reach for show-goers from across the region.

Nearby accommodations include Delta Hotels Guelph Conference Centre (50 Stone Rd W) and Holiday Inn Guelph Hotel & Conference Centre (601 Scottsdale Dr), both within a short drive or ride and ideal for guests attending ARTBAR events. When you’re ready to secure your seats, we’ve got you covered with straightforward booking. Look for events on the ARTBAR schedule, and choose the seating option that fits your plans. We list official performer websites and social profiles to help you learn more about the artists and stay connected.

Travel tips: consider street parking or one of the three downtown garages—East Parkade, West Parkade, or Market Parkade. The accessible entrance through The Bookshelf ensures a smooth arrival, and the nearby transit options make ARTBAR a convenient downtown destination for arts and culture enthusiasts.
