Soda Sessions

The Botanist holds down weeknight live music in the Soda Room, running Wednesdays and Thursdays with a rotating cast. You'll see acoustic one night, full band the next, which keeps it unpredictable. Free entry is the hook: you can drop in without knowing what to expect, which matters in the City where most live venues expect a commitment upfront.

The venue's cocktails work on their own. It's a low-risk way to catch live music midweek, which is rarer than it should be.
