| - The spot is great for random nights out on Ossington but I have two good reasons for the two stars: 1. The basement washrooms smell of terrible water damage and mould. Extremely Damp, we could barely breathe and we all ran up the stairs to breathe again. Serious issue.
2. I saw a bottle of bubbly in the bar fridge and another on the ledge above their bar. I asked hey got any bubbles? (just thought I'd ask you never know).The bartender says no, I point out the Ace of Spades (I know what it is but perhaps they might have something else). He replies "oh you can't have that. That's like a $800 bottle of Champagne, it's Ace of Spades. "
I work in wine, I study wine, I know people that are ambassadors at LVMH, I buy obscene amounts of wine and champagne. Of course I know what it is but the tone and rude comeback was not necessary. Also this is a pure hipster bar, wtf is it doing there? This isn't Maison. I'm confused.
So the washrooms smell like serious mould and they proudly display a $300 (retail) bottle of Ace of Spades.
I don't quite understand their priorities. For hipster bar they should have some hipster estate produced champagne like Jacquesson, Bereche, Chiquet, Bouchard, Lahaye. Not some over priced yuppy brand.
