About The Record Bar

The venue's scale creates an extraordinary intimacy with performing artists — in a room this size, there's nowhere to hide and nowhere the music doesn't reach you — and its consistent programming philosophy of booking quality over profile has generated a loyal community following that makes it one of the most dependable music bars in the Midwest. The Record Bar's position in the Crossroads gives it an artists' neighbourhood quality, attracting the kind of creative, curious audience that makes for exceptional shows.
