    Great venue but hot as hell in the Summer. I have a feeling the artist I went to see would have…read morebeen up on stage longer had it not felt like a sauna the whole time. But the place is literally a big old barn so what can you expect. There are outside patios to escape the heat /have a smoke if you need to. Love how intimate it is and how you can get a good view of the stage from wherever you are. If you get right up close to the stage you can almost touch the lead singer! Quite a laid back vibe. A lot of attendees at the concert I went to looked like they didn't "belong" but were just there to have fun. You can tell a lot of locals just come here for a good night out, regardless of who's playing. The bathrooms were pretty crammed but they managed to squeeze 4 stalls in there so I didn't have to wait long in line each time which can be a nightmare at other venues. Beer was a little pricey (and warm -- $8 tall cans) but that's to be expected at any concert venue I guess... All in all, good times and I'd definitely return if another band/artist I liked came here! (Even if it is a 2 and a half hour drive away from TO)

    This place is known for hosting Canadian bands on weekends in the summer. It's a bit of a legend…read moreamong locals and cottagers. It's defintely a casual place, not a super-classy establishment. It's an oldschool, bare-bones place with sticky floors, but that doesn't mean you won't have a great time. This is an old building right on the lake with a pretty nice patio out back. As for the inside, there's really nothing special about it. The stage is probably about 6 feet high so there are no metal barricades, and you can see the band from pretty much anywhere. There is open general admission on the main floor and limited general admission seating upstairs. The seating is very uncomfortable, but if you want to sit upstairs, head up there as soon as you get in because they only allow a certain number of people up there (you can always head downstairs later on if you feel like it). There are bars on both levels. There's not a lot of parking here, but there is a free parking lot a couple hundred metres away (drive under the train bridge, there will be a dirt parking lot on the right side of the road). It's a 3 min walk back to the Kee. The washrooms are pretty cramped and gross, and from what I remember, none of the stall doors locked in the womens washrooms.... so you have to hold the door closed with your foot. I had an issue a few years ago with a male patron pestering me and the bouncers refused to do anything about him, but I've been to the Kee roughly 6-7 times and that is the only negative experience I've had with the staff. Over all, it's a pretty great (and cheap) little place to see relatively intimate performances by some pretty great rock bands :)
