The Jailhouse Rock Cafe was a club and concert venue located at 30 Mont-Royal West in Montreal, Quebec, Canada in a neighbourhood known as Le Plateau-Mont-Royal.

During the 1980s and 1990s, Bar La Terrasse/the Jailhouse was an important[2][3] site for a wide variety of acts that were part of punk, ska, industrial, metal, hip-hop and gothic musical scenes in Montreal, and the venue soon became a recurrent stop for international touring artists, with Domenic Castelli frequently acting as host as well as promoter for many of the concerts held at the venue.

Castelli's first concert was a late 1980s benefit for Montreal youth organisation Head & Hands featuring punk band the Ripcordz.

Many critically acclaimed artists performed at the venue including local and international acts: Grimskunk, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Neko Case, Calexico, Nada Surf,[4] the Planet Smashers and Tricky Woo.

In addition to live concerts, the Jailhouse hosted a wide range of other events, including art jams and exhibitions, community BBQs and screenings.
