SPURS night is Toronto and Montréal’s beloved line dancing night for queer people and their friends. Inspired by the history of LGBTQ+ cowboy culture that lives on through social dancing in LA and beyond, Kathleen Munroe ran the first few evenings at various venues in the West End of the city before it found its home at Owls Club, a charming legion hall where folks come by every Sunday night for lessons, dancing, and mingling with a friendly pocket of the queer community. In its first year, SPURS has been joined by Noël in Montréal, as well as Nessie, Meredith, and Veronique in Toronto, and these callers, as well as their growing community of regulars, keep the night going strong. They’re partnerin’ up with Buddies in Bad Times to bring SPURS night to a historically queer space in the Village on every second Thursday of the month at Tallulah’s Cabaret. Come by for a few beginner-friendly follow-alongs, two proper lessons every evening, and dancing to country music and queer favorites late into the night!

Like its ambisextrous namesake, Buddies’ in-house bar and performance space Tallulah’s Cabaret does it all. It’s throbbing club nights and community tap dance lessons. High-concept drag and low-stakes open mics. Go for pre-drinks but stay late for the post-show discourse—maybe even spark that next collaboration. With local brews and sober options that aren’t an after-thought, Tallulah’s is the come-as-you-are bar for old friends, new lovers, partiers, poets, and curious passerby. See you under the chandeliers.

Tallulah’s Cabaret is open Wednesday to Sunday from 6:00 p.m. to midnight (or later).
