  Nice neighborhood pub. Casual atmosphere which is nice and quite a few craft beers available. Not having a single stout on tap is why this place only gets 4 stars.

  Went here on a Saturday night to see Xandria - Symphonic Metal band. Parking can be a challenge if you are from out of town so arrive early on a Saturday! - the venue itself is fairly small, I'm told the capacity is less than 300, which seems about right. There's a front bar and lounge, and a larger room at the back, with the stage and bar. Staff seem efficient and friendly, and it was fairly quick to get in. The room gets fairly crowded and warm, there's a few chairs around the sides, but mostly standing room, which makes for a fairly nice intimate atmosphere. Easy to get close to the stage, and so you can get a really good view of whoever is playing. It was also good to have a band like Xandria play there - they are well known in Europe, but less so in North America, so a welcome opportunity to see them. Dianne van Giersbergen has an amazing vocal quality, that as one other member of the audience said to me, would give Tarja a run for her money, again, great opportunity to see an amazing performance in such an intimate setting. Overall, nice venue, and a great evening!

  Great venue with excellent sound and clear views of the stage. The washrooms are cool too.

  GOOD FOOD.
  GREAT MUSIC.
  CHEAP DRINKS.
  
  Way better than I was expecting! Group of us went out for a birthday. We started in the front part where the TACOS were amazing! Reasonably priced and filling. We then relocated to the back part to dance. Cover was $10 (which went us from the $5 posted when we arrived). But once on the dance floor, we had a blast. The mostly '90s throwback hits kept us dancing till 2am, and the drinks were so cheap!
  
  Just know the bar is CASH ONLY, but there's an ATM in the room.
