Go to this place with low expectations. It's a total hole (with a great name that totally doesn't match this venue).
I would like to support and give my money to the Smiling Buddha - but if I buy alcohol, I inevitably drink it and then, not surprising, have to use the bathroom. And that's a big problem, as they are totally disgusting. In a move towards showing a modicum of respect for the people that pay them money for their alcohol, they could go out on a limb and hire a cleaner to clean the tiny, totally gross, bathrooms. Not terribly picky about washrooms, but these are negative-review worthy.
Pluses are the sound system and line ups hand selected for one weekend day/month when the Spectrum crew is holding their monthly on the massive 40 HZ sound system. Those events get way more stars. Another plus is a pretty decent selection of canned beers and ciders (microbreweries). The location is easy to get to, and nicely placed downtown-ish. Bar is cash only, apparently with an ATM on site.
