And it don’t stop: Hip-hop venues in Calgary
This unassuming basement-level bar in downtown’s west end is well known for its involvement in Calgary’s punk and hardcore music scenes. But Dickens has also played host to many rappers and hip-hop artists. The bar has seen Canadian acts like Vancouver’s Swollen Members as well as British Columbia Stompdown artists Snak The Ripper, Evil Ebenezer and Merkules. Dickens also presents old-school American rap legends such as The Onyx, Redman, M.O.P. and others.

Grooviest live music spots in Calgary
If I want to go out for a night of fun and tomfoolery, it’s Dickens. The busy, downtown club presents funk, punk, big-band, metal and indie-rock gigs as well as DJ dance nights, including ’80s-themed Hang the DJ. Featuring a stage and dance floor, Dickens patrons can hang out in its cozy lounge area and its library room. Distractions include pool, darts and VLTs. It’s unpretentious, and people are there to do their own thing, whatever that is. I recommend ordering the nachos.
