Cafe Dekcuf

Located in downtown Ottawa, Cafe Dekcuf is a staples of the capital’s underground music scene. With Maveriks downstairs, the building houses two venues to allow the space to book multiple shows each night, with an emphasis on heavy music.
 
Patrons have remarked that the spaces are a bit sparse in terms of decor, but people continue to pack the venues every night because of the high quality shows that happen here. Lineups have included bigger touring acts such as Dayglo Abortions, Brujeria, Cryptopsy, The Faceless, Arsis, Revocation, Escape The Fate, The Acacia Strain, Black Tusk and more, but you’re also just as likely to be able to catch up-and-coming bands from around Canada.
 
Cafe Dekcuf is a small but cozy room and bar located in the upstairs section of the building, known for its friendly staff, great sound quality and an intimate capacity of 150. The venue puts in a lot of effort to host fresh faced bands within the genre for a reasonable price.
