About this place The Underground

The Underground is a queer bar and club in downtown Hamilton, one of the few dedicated LGBTQ+ venues in the city. Our listing places it at 41 Catharine Street North, but other notes mention Wellington Street North, so confirm the address before heading out. Older notes describe drag shows, karaoke and bingo, mainly Thursday to Sunday from the evening. We have no confirmed hours. With only about two dozen Google reviews, the venue's website or social pages are the best place to check what's on.

Great venue!!

It's really unfortunate that this place likes to price gouge their customers. 10.25 for a cooler, 8.50 beer or mixed drink and cash only. I can appreciate any business who prefers cash, cause "screw the government" but don't rip your customers off in the process too. Not only that, but they have a open pipe in the ladies bathroom with literal fumes seeping out of it. Disgusting! When they were called out on that they stuffed paper towel in the hole and locked the door so no other patrons could see. Huge public health risk. Bands were great, bartender was great, he clearly is embarrassed to have to sell drinks at that price. Shame on the owners. Me and my group will never be back.
