El Mocambo

Frommer's Review

This rock-'n'-roll institution was where the Rolling Stones rocked in the '70s, Elvis Costello jammed in the '80s, and Liz Phair mesmerized in the '90s. It has played peek-a-boo in recent years -- it regularly closes and reopens and once even relocated to another site. Maybe that's why its current headliners include such acts as Vendetta Red and DREDG (of course, I'll be eating my words about them one day . . . ). Its Spadina Avenue digs are open again, and because they've gone through a top-to-toe reno, maybe they'll stay open this time.
