The Wheel Club is both a destination and hidden gem you don’t want to miss, but easily can. Its subterranean location sits between a karate studio, daycare, and office building in NDG, marked by a backlit sign hugging its dusty brick exterior: 'Wheel Club La Roue'.
“Honestly, I’ve lived in NDG since 2005, and I had gone up and down Cavendish hundreds of times without noticing the club,” admits the club’s director Clifford ‘Cliff’ Schwartz. He loves how much this adds to the charm, as though it were a scandalous secret.
It’s special to be in the know. I’d hear stories about the Wheel Club from both sixty-year-old pubgoers in the area and my thirty-year-old friends from music school. Once I walked into its dark basement illuminated by glowing red and green sconces and strings of lights, I quickly understood that these were more than stories.
