Let’s get fested!

We’ve teamed up with .ur.in for a feature dog that combines the overwhelming deliciosity of Thanksgiving with the best of Hamilton’s punk and diy scene.

The Fested Special Feature Dog is topped with stuffing, gravy, and cranberry sauce. It’s Thanksgiving dinner without the family drama!

Every Fested Special dog purchased is a chance to win admission to all four Yourin Fested 2024 events: the Frankie Freako film screening and Q&A at Oct. 17th AND all three shows at Oct. 18th-20th featuring local bands such as TV Freaks, Bad Bet, Cease, Hogtied, Loaming, and MANY MORE!

Get fested!

Behold! Our next Feature Dog: Le Slug!
Done in collaboration with our pals down the road
Le Slug is modelled after a wedge salad with iceberg tossed in buttermilk dressing, topped with blue cheese and bacon with a Tambour twist, a galangal glaze on the hot dog for that extra umami kick

The dog is named after Le Tambour’s storied softball team, Le Slugs, who may or may not have won the championship, but are the champions of our hearts.

Available all week!

An absolute honour, but not a total surprise, to receive 9 Wichelin stars. We wrote to the committee and begged them to take a few stars away sheerly to remain humble, but they insisted.

We highly advise arriving early, as being the first establishment to receive so many stars will bring a mob of foodie tourists going forward.

Open at 5
