About Kaffé 1870
Kaffé 1870 is a band-owned live-music pub on the Gatineau River in Wakefield — not a coffee-and-pastry cafe despite the name. The Wednesday open mic is a Wakefield institution, and the venue is listed on Songkick and Bandsintown as a regular stop for touring musicians. The riverside cottage-style building has the kind of locals-and-musicians blend you only find in a village this small.
