About The Grad Club

The Grad Club is a beloved Kingston venue located at 162 Barrie Street, just a short stroll from Queen’s University. This ground-floor performance space doubles as a friendly pub and restaurant, with a general-admission setup and a stage that brings a steady stream of touring Canadian acts, open-mic nights, drag shows, and community events.
