Homegrown - Hamilton

Been coming here since it was the SkyDragon café. Played my first open mic here in probably 2008 or 2009, and have been playing around 5 shows a year here for the past 3 or 4 years. The vibe is consistently amazing. Food and drinks are consistently amazing, as well. The soundmen they employ (particularly Thor) are top-notch people and always do immaculate work. What I think I love most are the people. The staff are always so kind, and not only that, the establishment attracts all sorts of great people. I've met so many excellent people who've worked there, and I've become good friends with other regulars who've played there. Anyone on King William could open a venue, that's the type of area that it is. But not just any venue can make you feel like you're home, and that's where Homegrown flourishes.

Had the pleasure of performing here with The Vaudvillains' monthly variety show: the acts, the staff, the crowd, everyone was on the same page. Great energy all around. Highly infectious.

Great vibe from this place, staff were friendly and the crowd was awesome! Loved the opportunity to perform here last night, will definitely be back!

Love the food and atmosphere. Another terrific experience again today. Thank you Homegrown Hamilton for another delicious meal. Everyone I was with raved about their sandwiches.

It is a quiet cozy little place out of the way of all the hustle and bustle of downtown while still being able to enjoy downtown. Friendly atmosphere and they are all about community :
