| - I went to a concert at El Mocambo yesterday. I didn't even know there was such a venue on the Spadina strip. I don't know what I would dub this joint, I guess concert venue, although I don't know if they have other stuff throughout the week.
First impression, not very good. The bouncer guy at the front was quite strict with my friend. She had a container of juice, which she packed from lunch (she came straight after work), and the guy made her dump it out! It actually was funny because he kept saying "if I open the bottle, will there be water". And confused, she kept saying "no, it's juice". This went on for a minute or so and finally she dumped it out.... So word of warning, do not bring outside food!
The concert was on the 1st floor. I didn't realize that there were multiple floors, the place is bigger than it looks! There are some seats on both sides, as well as a very low couch near the AV booth. That's where I spent the majority of the night. The venue is very cozy and seeing a band play there is awesome. There's some very sensual about being a small venue and so close to the stage.
Great couch, great music, pretty good venue!
