Rod Gun & Barbers

What is Rod Gun & Barbers? Anchoring Dundas Street West in The Junction, Rod Gun & Barbers is an unconventional hybrid created by founder Jeff James that fuses a classic barbershop with a fully licensed bar and intimate live music stage. The interior channels a rustic cabin-meets-saloon aesthetic with vintage grooming chairs up front, taxidermy accents, dark timber finishes, and a cozy back bar with high tops and a dart board. It functions seamlessly as a daytime haircut parlor and a late-night neighbourhood watering hole.

Rod Gun & Barbers Menu & What to Order The drinks program is built for easy sipping, headlined by cold pours of Steam Whistle and rotating Ontario craft ales served in signature lidded steins to prevent stray clippings. Whiskey fans can browse a solid collection of single malt Scotch and Kentucky bourbons poured neat or stirred into reliable Old Fashioneds. While the venue does not run a hot kitchen, the real order here is the signature cut paired with a fresh draft beer or a neat whiskey pour.

Know Before You Go Barber chairs book up quickly and require advance reservations, but the bar room is strictly walk-in friendly for drinks and concerts. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights run late until 2:00 a.m. with open mics, touring folk acts, and lively Junction locals. Street parking along Dundas West is metered, and the 40 Junction bus from Dundas West Station drops off steps away.
