The Matador Club, Music venue in Dufferin Grove, Toronto, Canada
The Matador Club features hardwood floors, an 18-foot ceiling, and a stage decorated with country music memorabilia including antlers and cowboy boots.
Ann Dunn established The Matador Club in 1964, transforming a former dance academy and bowling alley into a music destination that operated until 2010.
The venue welcomed numerous performers including Leonard Cohen, Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn, K.D. Lang, Blue Rodeo, and Gordon Lightfoot throughout its operation.
Located at 466 Dovercourt Road, the venue operated from midnight until 5 AM on Friday and Saturday nights, with occasional Sunday evening events.
The McCaughey brothers purchased the property in 2010 and discovered original architectural elements during renovations, leading to preservation efforts of historical features.
