Poetry Night!
Welcome to Dog-Eared Café’s Poetry Open Mic Night! All levels of experience are encouraged to come out and share. Each month we’re trying out new themes to get the ink flowing, though all poetry is welcomed for sharing. February’s theme is, of course, LOVE. The theme isn’t strict – if you’ve got something else to share, we’d be delighted to hear it! So, poetry lovers near and far, come out Friday, February 2nd for an extraordinary evening of words, writers, and, if you’re up for it, wine (for $16.99!!!).
RIVERSIDE READING SERIES

Open Jam
Welcome to The Dog-Eared Open Jam Night! Held on our second and fourth Friday nights of each month we open up our space from 7pm until close for those wayward musicians that are looking to connect and play with others, share a beer or two, and make some music! But be sure to leave your ego at the door; as much as we truly welcome singer/songwriters, this an open jam, not an open mic so expect to share the stage. We’ll have a variety of instruments to play, as well as an electric drum kit to provide beats without destroying our neighbours eardrums! We hope to see you all there. Sign up upon entry for participating customers, and $7 tall boys of select Fixed Gear!
