August Entertainment @ The Queens
Every month, the Queens Hometown Bar is bringing the noise, and the bands, to Barrie.
If you’re game for going out, the Dirty Q is guaranteed to have a gig for you every week. Whether you’re craving an alt rock blowout, an EDM dance sesh, or a laid back acoustic set, Thursday through Sunday are jammed with jams from local talent and edgy bands from across the region.
And it’s not just music! The hometown pub is home to a terrific spread of entertainment and excitement to level up your evenings.

Karaoke
Any crooners in the crowd? Show off your pipes on Monday nights. There is no charge to take part, and you can indulge in a few drams of liquid courage to make your performance really warble.
Trivia
Barroom trivia slayer? Get your quiz on every Thursday!
If you are one of those acerbic conversationalists who can start a discussion on anything by calling on troves of weird info lodged somewhere in your hippocampus, eternal (or at least weekly) bragging rights awaits you at the Queens.
Beginning at 7pm and hosted by Darren McDonald, Trivia nights serve as more than just a night out for Jeopardy aficionados. You can also gorge on food and drink specials though out the evening’s festivities. So even if you flame out on the queries, you’ll have a wonderfully percolated palate to show for it.
Game Day
With the Blue Jays going yard most nights, there will be loads of sports dates to circle on your Google calendars this month. Park yourself in close proximity to the big screens on the sports side and see every minute.
Breakfast
The cure for big night out…is a big breakfast. And starting this month you can clear out the weekend cobwebs every Saturday and Sunday morning with a full slate of traditonal morning-after fare.
Beginning at 9, and served right through the day, you can scare away the hangover with full plates of eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns and pancakes.
