GIG REVIEW
2023
We came, We ate, We Partied!
For so many decades, it was THE place to
play in midtown Toronto. And it still is!
Long known to so many live music fans as
the Chick 'N' Deli, the music-focused
house on Mt Pleasant just south of
Eglinton has gone through a few
incarnations in more recent years, but it's
now well established as Smokeshow BBQ
& Brew. Smoked ribs and brisket might be
the new menu items, but the great wings
are still there, and so is the emphasis on
live music!
Owner John Ciampini, veteran of such
area landmarks as Spacco and AlleyCatz,
has done a beautiful renovation of the
venue while maintaining its focus on great
bands, great food and great times.
We had an awesome time in our debut
performance at Smokeshow in September,
and the response was so strong that we're
on the calendar right through 2023! We're
proud to call Smokeshow our midtown
Toronto home!
