It\u2019s time to get up and dance, Toronto. A new bar just opened in the city and it has live music every night.<\/p>\n

Dina\u2019s Tavern<\/a> opened its doors on Sept. 18 and comes from the team behind Toronto\u2019s Track & Field Bar, Bangarang and Hail Mary.<\/p>\n

And whether it be a local band, a jazz trio, karaoke or a DJ spinning Motown and soul, the bar plans to have audiences rockin\u2019 out each and every night they\u2019re open with live entertainment.<\/p>\n

The new spot is located at 468 Spadina Ave., where iconic The Silver Dollar Room used to be.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are aspects of the space people will recognize from back in the day \u2014 the layout, the bar. We also have plans to maintain a weekly bluegrass show, like the Dollar had for decades,\u201d says Nickie Marshall, one of the bar\u2019s owners alongside Jesse Borg and Tasha Potter.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat said, the intention with Dina\u2019s isn\u2019t to replicate the historic Silver Dollar. We\u2019re just happy to be turning the space back into a place where you can hear some good music and have a good time. It feels like a victory.\u201d<\/p>\n

And the bar\u2019s booker, Nick McKinlay, agrees. McKinlay has been playing music in Toronto for 17 years and many of those shows were performed at the Spadina Avenue venue before it was transformed into Dina\u2019s.<\/p>\n

\u201cA consensus among many of us in the scene is that Toronto is sorely lacking smaller capacity venues \u2014 places where musicians, both new and seasoned, can develop and work,\u201d McKinlay tells Toronto.com.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe goal at Dina\u2019s is to provide a low-barrier live music experience for the audiences and artists alike.\u201d<\/p>\n

When it comes to the beverages, visitors can treat themselves to Dina\u2019s martini menu when feeling classy or go for a cheap pitcher of beer. There\u2019s also a $7 Highlife, a Diner Coffee Negroni and a Tequila Sunrise on the menu.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter Jesse, Tasha and I decided on the name Dina\u2019s Tavern, Tasha said \u2018What if Dina is a rat smoking a cigarette\u2019 and it just fit,\u201d says Marshall.<\/p>\n

Dina\u2019s is open from Monday to Saturday from 6 p.m. to late. So, whether you\u2019re looking for a cheap drink in Toronto or to dance the night away, maybe Dina\u2019s Tavern will be your next spot to check out in the city.
