Live music 7 nights a week!
Sundays, 7:30pm - 11pm
Mon, Tue, Wed, 8pm - 11:30pm
Thursdays, 8:30pm - Midnight
Fri & Sat, 9pm - 12:30am
The Bard & Banker is one of the very few places in Victoria offering live music 7 nights a week with NO cover charge. We feature mostly local musicians from Victoria with others coming from surrounding islands and the mainland.
Sunday nights are "unplugged," drawing inspiration from the MTV Unplugged Series, where all the music was performed acoustic and interactive with the audience.
And with the baby grand piano on our stage, our entertainers have no bounds of musical repertoire. Playing from early evening to late night, there's plenty of time to pop in for a meal and some live musical entertainment or simply grab a night cap and catch up.

Adam & Antonia
Antonia Freybe-Smith (vocals/keyboard) & Adam Kittredge (vocals/guitar) are both true locals to Victoria. They formed the 5 piece indie rock group Jets Overhead in 2003 and have mesmerised crowds at home and abroad with their ambient rock. Together they have shared the stage with bands such as The Stills, The Dandy Warhols, Stars, Our Lady Peace, Tegan and Sara, Powderfinger and 54*40 and are frequent visitors to the Bard & Banker, sharing their melodies with a very fortunate local audience.
Antonia mentioned Victoria in a recent interview with Rebecca Bollwitt (Miss 604 blog)...
”It’s a great community here,” said Antonia. “Sometimes we get asked ‘do you think you’re at a disadvantage not being in Toronto or Montreal?’ and I feel like it’s the complete opposite.” Antonia said that the music community in Victoria is at a great size — you know everyone else, there are great venues to choose from, and there’s diversity in the music.”
