Met with a bunch of friend here during the Christmas holiday and it was okay. The beer, of course, was pretty good with a very very wide selection of Belgian beers among others. It was kinda loud and started to get busy by 8:30 but I snagged a long table at the bar. My friends were fashionably late and 3 of us had to fend off the vultures from take our chairs or trying to sit @ the end of the table.
As the night drew on, a band started to set up and unfortunately we were seated right in front of them. Low ceiling, loud bar, and bad cover band = ears bleeding! These guys were wailing and it was not pretty. Somehow, despite their lack of talent, THEY HAD A GROUPIE!!
There was one great redeeming factor to this place, their "gourmet" poutine was really good! A little price but really good and a pretty big serving.
Only reason I probably won't go back is because there are so many places in Toronto and I'm there so little, I gotta try new places.
